Heading into the last five+ of Kirby's 72-hour enconement and I'm all set with having a cone jammed behind my knees. At least it doesn't knock me over anymore (thank you, yoga balance). As for Kirby, he's doing fine. No complications from surgery (right side canines, upper and lower were removed), and everything is healing up nicely. He's digging the soft food that he's on for the next 11+ days – as are the smaller yet larger dogchildren girlz (no meal is now complete without them getting the can scrapings in their dry tidings you scurrolous heathen you). Another three+ weeks until he's allowed hard chew toys (which got us into this mess in the first place and which he probably won't be getting back) and then we start the process all over again the first week of November, when the left side canines come out and Coneholio returns for a soft-food, knee-bashing encore.
