I update

I went to see the Dogtor this morning.

Muzzer said my eyelid looked thick.

This morning we saw Dr. Jeff, who is one of my favorites.

He looked at my eye, prodded at it, and made some pussy stuff come out.

He also found the hole that was the original wound, and says it was most probably a spider bite.

But --- I gotta wear the cone a while longer, get my ointment and take my pills.

the GOOD NEWS! I have not gained any weight.

Gussie

pee ess...One of the reasons I like Dr. Jeff is that he is a "substantial" fellow too.

Good news, Gussie!!

We're going to the Dog Tor on Wednesday for check-ups and we think we may have turned into roly poly porky dogs, aka Substantial Wires!!!

Sorry about the collar!!!

Woofs of sympathy,

Jake and Just Harry

(Have you looked at Albert recently? He's doing pretty well too when it comes to being substantial.)

Lots of pups are big boned no need to point it out.....just to make them feel worse when they don't feel good to begin with.....

Nasty, icky, uncivilized spiders....You need to adopt a lizard to them up!!!!

So more cone time - will guess it could be worse....you still have your eye.....

Take all your pills & rest - When do the WFT Nurses arrive - oh are they still in South Africa????

Ewie and ouchie! Pus? URRRK. I'm glad that your weight remained stable. I hope your eye gets better.

Daddy is scared of spiders... so at my house, my momster is the one who kills the spiders... after all, with a name like hers, the spiders stand no chance! BOL!

Dexter said...

Fascinating. Sorry about the cone, but you are certainly on the mend.

Scout and Freyja said...

We just sniffed our way over to you and see that you have a banged up eyeball. We are so sorry 'bout that an' hope that it is better soons so you don't have to be a conehead too many more days.

Sally said...

Biting spiders? Not sure we like the sound of that - you poor thing - that cone thing is never a fun thing to wear. We hope you are feeling better soon.

Substantial? We call it big boned with a slow metabolism

Love ya lots,

Princess Patches said...

We hope your eye is all better VERY soon, Gussie! You better sleep with one eye open from now on so you can eat any spider that may approach your handsome self!

Swede William is enraged. he is willing to come down and kill every spider in Mayemphis and maybe all or Tennessee.

TwoSpecialWires said...

Gussie. That spider had some nerve. We're sorry you're having to deal with his poor judgement. And we hope your eye is all better really soon. In the meantime, keep your butt to the wind. Those lampshades look like they could double as wind surfing thingees. We don't want you blowin' away (unless you blow over here for a visit.)

Take care, buddy,
Jake and Fergi xxoo

Eric said...

Biting spiders? Ewww. Poor Gussie. As for the weight thingie if you have any spares pass it over I still can't make the weight to join. Get better soon and watch out for pussycats emerging from your eyes, their claws are sharp.

Wiry wags n kisses Eric xxxx

How big are those spiders down there??? Hmm....you didn't lose any brains, did ya Gussie? Sheeshch...I so hope Scruffy never gets bitten...all his brains would ooze out...and he only has a few to begin with...
