Grumpy

My Jack Russell has recently been through a terrible trauma. He had a operation a couple of weeks ago to remove 6 lumps and at the age of 11 it was a worry for me. The good news is that the operation went well, he is much better now and the lumps were all benign.
The trauma was that he's had to wear a medical body suit to keep all the dressings in place and to stop him scratching his wounds. The suit has a velcro fastening around his tail and he kept becoming 'velcroed' to the sofa. It was a pitiful sight but one that had us in hysterics although we've tried not to let him see us laughing - we've now found a T shirt to replace his suit but he doesn't seem any happier.

Ok, what a woeful little face! My heart bleeds for him! I am so glad that his tumours were benign, and I hope that he will soon feel his old self again.

Oh, can imagine that you were really worried about him, but glad to hear that all is well apart from general grumpiness! He does indeed look down in the mouth there. At least he won't have the indignity of sticking to the sofa now! Poor lad!
