Buddy's Vet Report

I have reason to celebrate tonight! Funsize and I took Buddy in for his check up today and he got a glowing report! Our vet said it "couldn't have been any better" To say this was a catch your breath type moment is an understatement! We all had smiles as wide as Texas!

We went in and our vet pulled his shoes, you know the backwards ones, and set him up for x-rays. Buddy is a super patient and stands right there and lets them do the x-rays without budging a bit. Good boy!!

Our vet has a new computer system that hooks right into the x-ray and here is Buddy's foot. This system is amazing. You can see things that you would never pick up on a regular film right down to the tiniest line. Dr. S. who BTW wouldn't let me take his picture face on, I think he is really kinda shy, was so excited about this new technology that will be a huge help for diagnostic purposes. They sent me a copy of the x-rays via e-mail. I know you were all holding your breath waiting to see them! lol!


Notice the right foot has more rotation in the coffin bone then the left but amazingly he still has plenty of sole so he can go without shoes for the winter. The left foot had the big notch cut out and that is the black spot right on the front.

I owe a ton of gratitude to my vet who went beyond the call of duty this past year with Buddy. He has a big heart and cares not only about his patients but the owners as well. It was a year ago this week that we were struggling with the decision what to do with Buddy as he was so sick with strangles and then to have him founder in May was just horrific but Dr. S hung in there with us and here we are today looking pretty darned good! :o) As I have said in previous posts I appreciate so much all of my blogging friends who have been so kind through out all of this with your thoughtful comments and encouragement!!

Funsize was just loving on Buddy and I got this shot. She was only 10 when we got him and now she will be 25 in a couple of weeks so they have sort of grown up together. :o)

These are some pictures taken about 15 years ago in a show that Funsize and Buddy participated in. They walked away with all blue ribbons that day! :o)

Guess I should get going on my day. Back to the gym this morning and then a customer is coming to buy a tote for her daughter for Christmas. T is coming after school today so we will get into some mischief you can be sure, maybe make some cookies. I have some more Christmas decorating to do. Will do a post on all of it when it is done. Also have housework to do, I am still on a quest to get all of the closets cleaned out and dispose of everything we don't use or want any more. I found this graphic that kind of sums it all up!

So anywho, I have played here on the computer long enough but I wanted to get Buddy's report out to you all. Thanks again for caring!!!!!
