Even the Mighty fall

When we first got Teiko five years ago, the plan was to eventually breed him. He has great bloodlines and temperament. However, as time passed, we realized that we just didn't have the time to start a German Shepherd breeding program. And having an intact male can cause some issues. So Teiko went to the vet for a little surgery this week.
I picked him up from the vet's office after work. And boy, was he ready to get the heck out there. A very glassy-eyed, whiny and droopy dog is who I nursed through the evening.
While I had him under for the big surgery, I also had Dr. June remove a broken tooth/stump that somehow the boy broke in the past month. So basically he's in stitches from stern to bow.
Ryann stopped over to see the patient and to give some love. As the evening progress, he definitely came out of all the drugs in his system and was on the road to recovery. It will be a few sore days, yet, but Teiko is definitely on the mend.

  2. Teiko seems to think he's fully recovered one week from surgery. He can't understand why the Mama won't let him swim or run yet....
