No more drain

I could not wait to see Mum today, i knew she would be excited.
You see the Doctor came to see me on his rounds this morning. I fussed my head and told me how well i looked. Then he told me i could have the drain taken out of my shoulder, i wagged my tail to show him how pleased i was. It was a bit like walking about with a bath plug hanging out of your shoulder. Then i heard the really good news, i was doing so well that the dressing could stay off and paws crossed i could go home tomorrow.
When Mum finally came to see me i she laughed because one of the nurses had wrapped her shirt around my neck and shoulders because she thought it would be more comfortable when i wanted to lay down (you can see me walking in my shirt on my youtube link).
The nurse lifted my shirt to show Mum the wound, Mum went a bit white when she saw the metal staples keeping my wound closed. I'm not sure why because it is no different than the metal earings she pushes through her ears and nose.... I mean fancy having one through your snout.

We set off for our walk, Mum said we could go out on the main road today. It was very windy but that did not stop me. Off i went in full sniff and pull mode. We went along the road at first, then we went up the grass bank, it was very uneven but i loved it. When ever Mum was not looking i would take great chunks of grass and eat it. Mum said we had to go back. I pretended i did not hear and carried on in the same direction. After a tug on my lead i had to give in and turn around. I did not tell Mum but i was glad we turned around when we did because by the time we got back i was well and truly pooped.

Me and Mum had a cuddle then said goodbye, i think tonight we will both dream of me going home tomorrow.
