4 August, 2011                 You’re only as happy…

I’ve heard you’re only as happy as your least happy child. My current least happy child is Max. I picked him up from the vet around 5:00. He actually jogged out in the parking lot; I had to slow him down so he wouldn’t open up his surgical scar. Since he’s gotten home he’s not real energetic. But I think he’s happy to be with his buds. Here’s a picture of him now he’s here:

My least happy child is not very happy

I think he’s just groggy and sore and worn out. He’s breathing fine but not eating much. They may have fed him before I picked him up; I wish I’d asked. He was also very cheerful and enthusiastic coming in the house. I have to carry him up the stairs (although he’d rather do it himself). I’m pretty certain he’s just finally letting his guard down now he’s home. Relaxing. We’ll take good care of him.

In a few minutes I’m going to put up a more energetic post, also of dogs, also today. Mackey and Roux and Special Guest Dog Lucy and I had a wonderful hike at the river early. I came away with a couple of pictures I enjoyed. I’ll post that in a few minutes.
