Riley is home

[Tuesday 1-25-05, 9:53am]

So Riley is home now. When we picked him up I thought he'd be subdued. NOPE! He's bouncing, jumping, playing, biting. He's FINE.

It was so funny because when the vet tech handed Riley to me, he goes: "Everybody just fell in LOVE with him". That's so funny because everybody DOES fall in love with Riley, and that's why we got him the domain name www.EverybodyLovesRiley.com! How funny is that! :)

Nicky, the new dog, was fixed on the 19th, 2 days before we picked him up from the pound. His wound is bad: he took out all his stitches, so they put in 3 staples, and he pulled out one of them. Now he periodically smells like bad cheese. He's also coughing now. And when we were at the vet's this morning, Nicky coughed up some... phlegm. So the vet said we should keep him at the vet's for a few days, since Riley just had surgery, he may be more succeptible to getting sick.

Also, Nicky has been seeping from his wound, and I need to clean the floors and take up all the bedding/toys. Now Riley is in his nighttime crate in his cushy bed in the bedroom w/ the tv on for noise. I'm going to take up all the toys and clean the floor and sterilize the food and water bowls. Then if Riley is awake and antsy, I'll put him in his pen after I sterilize everything.

Fun.

And I also have to go all the way back to bring Nicky's antibiotic pills to the vet.

*Sigh*.
