Raffi update, and photo added

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I just put up a photo of Raffi in his leg cast on my lap. It's the

last one in the photos section here:

He has found the afternoon more challenging and I do believe he has

actually become sick of snuggling! He gets his pain meds in 45 mins

and that always makes him sleepy, thank goodness, so he should have a

quiet evening.

I was tipped off from my Hannah's rally class trainer that there is a

very good clinic in Ottawa called Alta Vista that could handle

Raffi's case. I checked it out and they do look good with 27 vets on

staff specializing in all sorts of things including orthopaedics!

The drive will only be 1.5 hours instead of 5 hours and its in a city

we are more familiar with. I think Dad has pretty much decided to go

ahead with taking him there. We see the vet Monday and will ask for

a refferal then. He's a very nice, reasonable guy and I'm sure he

won't mind sending us on.

So that's the news on Raffi! He's resting 'fairly comfortably' but

is restless for sure and really, *really* misses fetching!

((((HUGS))))
