Well, at some point this weekend I noticed that Milo was pulling at his stitches. He was a naughty boy but I don't really blame him, I'd do the same if I were him.

I took him to work with me to see the Vet. I brought Freya's crate as I am able to handle that better than Milo's bigger one. I thought about letting Animal Control keep him until the appointment and after the appointment as I live too far away to use a lunch break to go home. I also didn't want him to go to the shelter. I felt so guilty at the thought of him being there and thinking that I abandoned him. I just couldn't do it.

The whole time at the Vet he was whining. I kept thinking about the story I read on the forum about a vet putting down a dog that once was a family pet. God, I felt so bad to be there being where Milo came from and how close of brush to a premature death he was. Thankfully, we were there to see about his stitches. I discovered he had a sore on his ear and the Vet said it was from shaking his head. I'm not terribly sure what would even cause that to bleed...*shrugs*. Never heard of that issue.

He just took the stitches out and the vet never really said one way or the other if the incision was bad. I hope he would say it was bad if it was. I asked about Milo's Heart Worm treatment and after checking with the nurse about the sponsorship status he said that we could go through with it now.

I hugged and kissed my stinky boy. I couldn't give him a bath until the stitches came out. I felt so bad leaving him there. I'm so worried about him right now.

I never imagined him to be so bonded to me either. I've only had him a little bit over a week and he whines whenever I'm not within reach. If I actually sat on the couch instead of the computer chair, he would happily sit beside me to watch the non-existent tv. He likes my boyfriend and will stay with him if I'm in the kitchen but if I'm ever in the bathroom, Milo will whine in the hall way until I come out. I wish I could keep him but I know that financially I can't afford another dog. So it is my hope that he gets adopted to a deserving individual or couple and he gets the best life that he can have.

Meanwhile, I'll be feeling guilty and nervous about his heartworm treatment until I hear from the Vet to pick him up on thursday. And thank you for sponsoring him. I still need to get names to individually thank you but thank you.
