What Lies Beneath …

We got up early this morning and drove over to Billings to see the orthopedic vet. He said it looks like the tendon is healing up quite nicely, which was an enormous relief. Then he knocked my poor Owie out and re-adjusted the pins so that he’s putting a little bit of weight on the tendon. The pins and rods will stabilize it for another three weeks or so, and then he’ll be freed from the aparatus and will get a soft cast for a few more weeks.

And here’s what poor FrankenPuppy looks like beneath those bandages: frankenpuppy2pc280016.JPG

I'm a writer and editor based in Livingston, Montana. I moved to Livingston from the San Francisco Bay area in 2002 in search of affordable housing and a small community with a vibrant arts community. I found both. LivingSmall details my experience buying and renovating a house, building a garden, becoming a part of this community. It also chronicles my efforts to rebuild my life after the sudden death of my younger brother, and closest companion, Patrick in a car wreck.

  1. Because I thought this was hysterical:

    My goodness–I wouldn’t even want to do that for MY leg. Give Owen a pat on the head and a doggie treat and FOR GOODNESS SAKE COVER THAT UP, SO HE DOESN’T SEE IT!
