Could it be?


Could it be that Gideon has found his forever home? We shall see!!! Gideon had his first meet and greet and got to meet Toby. Toby was ever so gracious and allowed Gideon to put his entire head in his mouth! Oh, the joys of being a little---or should I say medium---sized dog! (Sorry Toby!) Toby and Giddy hit it off and went on a walk together and wrestled on Dr. Wheaton's back grass! A good day was had by all! We shall see if Gideon gets to go home with Toby---that day isn't too far away!

Gideon's healing is going great! The little island of skin that was growing in the upper section of the wound is now attaching to the outer skin. Good bye Island....hello peninsula! Hopefully this "peninsula" will continue to grow and attach on all sides. Fingers are crossed!! Gideon also has a consult scheduled with the surgeon who would possibly perform the skin graft on the lower section of the wound. Hopefully by end of the next week, we will have a good idea of what that portion of his recovery will entail!

Thanks to all for keeping Gideon in their thoughts---I know it has helped him along the way!

New Year--New Photo Shoot!



So many people have asked me to post new pictures of Gideon's wound, so this week we took Mr. Gid out for a bandage-free photo shoot! His wound looks so good and is so much smaller than it originally was. The new skin is coming in and he is even growing new fur! :) More pics are posted on his Picasa page.
