Yesterday, Tonya wrote about some things I mailed and shared with her. When she mailed Gabby's doggie blanket, she also shared with me... some BLUE fabric (I will show you the BLUE fabric in another post). She had mailed Toby's doggie blanket to my Mom's home much earlier, as we thought he might get out of the hospital sooner and be with my Mom, but Toby had to stay much longer than we thought. He finally got out a week ago. My Mom was back in the hospital a week ago ... So now Toby will stay with me, temporarily.
Tonya not only shared items, but she shares kind words, when I need support. I know she does that for many of us. As I know many of you support others thru' your comments and emails. I know I really appreciate them. It is not just the items you share with others... it's the listening ear, the kind messages and thoughts, and the much needed prayers that are being sent from friends and family that really get you thru' the day... Thanks to all of you for that kindness...
Here is where Gabby and Toby sleep at night. I make a little nest out of a fleece blanket at the foot of our bed and Toby sleeps there. Gabby sleeps between my husband and I. The last couple nights Gabby has slept nose to nose with Toby as if she is his Mommy... keeping tabs on him.
Toby's taking another nap on his new doggie blanket from Tonya.
Toby traded his stockinette bandages in for a baby t-shirt today. He wears the 3-6 months size. He needs to still have a covering over the wounds as he heals, but he needed a looser fit covering. I bought the oneies (bodysuit) and cut off the snapped part. He needed them longer to cover his back and sides.
Toby's front legs fit thru' the sleeves and it also stays on better then the stockinette. He has come a long way in the past 6 weeks from the huge bandages and dressings to protect as his horrible wounds as they heal. He had to have multiple surgeries to repair his poor little body.
Thanks to all the wonderful staff at Exceptional Animal Care of Madison, Toby will live a long and happy life.
And again thanks to everyone's for your support and prayers for my Mom and our family. We appreciate it so very much...
Linked with Wordless Wednesday BlogPaws (I know it is NOT wordless, but this is the post that fit for "Wednesday LOVE"! At least there are lots of photos!) Thanks for hopping over here!
P.S. I am home and back to work (quilting). I quilted "my vacation project" at the end of the day today! I'll post about it later in the week.
Wow, Marcia! I just read the updates on mom and Toby that you had links to! So glad to see things are getting better! I know the horror of your dog getting attacked as I had the same happen with a Rottweiler and my elderly English Springer. I hope mom continues to improve, and Spencer, too!
