exciting things are happening for My Old Country House!!!

but ….first….a  CHARLIE UPDATE…

One week ago…Charlie came home from having survived being hit by the car and after having FHO surgery. The road back is long but he is a trooper. It breaks my heart because he is SO not himself. He is very sleepy and seems sad, and I can tell how bad it hurts him to move. As my son said “He does not know this will not last forever and that is so hard.” But he is doing better every day.……today he is resting…

…………….his GIGANTIC new bed is wonderful and he spends most of his time alternating between the bed and the crate. He will only eat if I hand feed him wet food…and if you knew his appetite pre accident you would not this is so not his norm….I want this time to go faster and to have him out of pain and lounging in the yard…playing tag with Muffin and Dash…chasing the cat…in time, in time. Thanks for all of your notes asking about him….

I highly encourage you to visit their site and check them out.
