A very loooong day
Gavin was fussy most of the night last night and today. Sleep? No, I didn’t get much. I’ve taken a new direction tonight to try to ease Gavin’s distress. I brought my CD player down, set it on top of his crate, and I have Mozart playing at a low volume. I’m hoping this keeps him soothed and quiet long enough for us to get a bit of sleep.
The poor baby is having a rough time with that E-collar. However, there’s no way he can go without it because he’d definitely dig at his ear and rip out the stitches.
I might not be posting for a few days due to exhaustion and lack of time. I will try but I’m not guaranteeing anything right now.
The vet said it could take up to twenty one days for Gavin’s ear to heal and if each day turns out as hectic and long as today, I’ll need at least a solid week of sleep to recover.

I’m sorry Gavin is having such a hard time, bless his little heart. I hope tonight goes better than last night and that he begins to get used to having that contraption on him. Fingers and paws crossed here for you both.
I hope his ear is healing well. That’s the thing about BTs, they’re excellent healers — but I guarantee you get the doleful look every time you go near … good luck!
After 28 years of BTs you’d think I’d be used to this, but no. When they are hurting, I ache for them with their every whine. Gavin has always been more of a whiny butt than any other BT we’ve had–such a big momma’s boy! 😉
I too hope that Gavin breaks all healing records. But if you need to take a break from the blog – do it – your health comes first. We’ll miss you – then rejoice when you come back.
