Beasley Update

I'm sure you all remember the horrible injury Beasley sustained after being shot 2 years ago in August. The surgeries and recovery too. You may also remember that about 6 months prior to that incident he broke his ankle and had a plate and screws put in his hind foot.

His foot has really been bothering him lately, so much that many days he won't bear any weight on it. His shoulder seems to be ok other than the bottom of the plate rubs on his elbow funny and he is constantly licking it. That doesn't seem to be painful, but rather a nuisance.

Tomorrow he is going to have both plates and screws removed. Please keep him and the veterinarian and nurses in your thoughts and perhaps say a little prayer. This is not nearly as traumatic of a surgery, but it is still a major surgery. Especially the front plate. There is a risk of damaging the radial nerve, just as there was a risk when it was put in. Once surgery is over though, the recovery should not be nearly as tough.

We are just so ready for him to be the good 'ole Beasley that we know and love. He has become such a hermit. He rarely comes out of the closet or off of his bed (or ours!) so we hope and pray that this will revive him. He has too much time left- Lord willing- for him not to feel spry.

I'll be sure to update you on his progress! Thanks everyone, we love our Beasley!
