Cheeto's Surgery

Hello Friends.
Remember this?
A few days back I found Cheeto stuffed in the couch cushion and when I pulled him out his leg was detached from his body, dang squirrels.  MOM called Dr. Carolyn and she said she could get Cheeto in this past Friday and she would come to MOM's office and do the surgery.

Dr. Carolyn is so talented and skilled that she is able to do surgery while participating in a Bible study!  

Here is a view from under the surgical table.  Hang in there Cheeto, all will be OK soon.

And here is Cheeto in the recovery room (MOM's office).

When Cheeto got home he did not want me to go anywhere.  He pinned me down to my bed.

Cheeto was feeling much better and he wanted to play.

So play we did.

WOW!  Dr. Carolyn did a super job stitching Cheeto's leg back on.  Try as I might it would not come off.  I mean, no matter how hard we played his leg was super strong.  It's like she used titanium stitches!  If you ever need a surgeon I highly recommend Dr. Carolyn.
Blessings,
Goose

    Pawsome surgery By Dr.Carolyn. Cheeto is no longer a casualty due to those darn squirrels. Goose keep your eyes peeled they may be back to remove the other one. We don't want to see Cheeto legless now! Have a terrific Tuesday.

    Yeah for Dr. Carolyn! She must be an excellent surgeon. We love the recovery room. Cheeto is resting right next to that dish of doggie bones.

    We are so happy to see that Cheeto has made a full recovery with your help Goose. He's as good as new now.

    I think Dr. Carolyn is one of God's workers in healing the wounded.
    Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
    Thanks for being a friend
