We made it thru the night:)
We really want to thank everyone for all the well wishes and encouragement!! We were both a bundle of nerves in that little exam room waiting to see our brave boy to see his darling face and absorb his amazing spirit. In he came with a big smile on his face tail wagging and trotted right over and gave us licks forever!! The world around us seemed to dissapear for a few minutes while we just loved him up. We got him home without incedent. Todd gently got him out of the car and the minute Gator was stable he trotted off to explore the front yard and tinkle. He headed right for the front door to see the rest of his family:) Kisses all around and then he was ready for a snack and a nap:) Friends and family came to check on us all throughout the afternoon and evening, which made Gator so happy! We camped out with Gator in the living room while Charlie & Hurley had the rest of the house to roam. Gator dozed here and there, he would only sleep if I was holding his front paw:) Todd sawed logs and I discovered that our next project will be removing the popcorn fron our living room celing, lol. All in all it was a good night, Gator got up at 6am and went poop!!!! We all just ate a super yummy late breakfast and are considering a nappypoo:) Today will be family lazy day:) Love & Licks
Yeah Gator! The next couple of weeks could be rough, but hang in there. Tripawds is here to help and support you!

Wow, already got the peeing and pooing thing down! Gator is a rock star!
Be sure to post any questions if you hit a rough patch. Hpefully he will continue to do great.
I found visits from friends and family were the only things that got Abby’s spirits up when we were in the depths of the worst of it.
Lol about the popcorn ceilings. We had ours scraped in our old house too!
All the best to Gator,
Jackie, Abby’s mom
yay Gator, that is amazing!! I am so glad that Gator is doing sooo well 😀 Get some sleep, hopefully all will remain on this great road of progress, but sometimes they can backslide a little. It will all be okay though, what spirit!

Sounds like he is doing great! I know you have been warned about the possibility of some down time- but lets hope Gator is one of those pups who sails right through recovery!!
And first poop already!! We had to wait about 6 days for that momentous occasion.
BTW- I think I had the same thoughts about my popcorn ceiling during the living room camping days 😉

Wow! I’m so glad that Gator is doing so well 🙂 That’s PAWESOME! Maybe he will be one of the dogs that doesn’t have any tough days- that would be great for you guys!
Welcome home, Gator!
Jenna & Spirit Chili Dawg
