(Sigh…deep breath)… We are finally CONE-FREE! Wyatt is doing MUCH better and last night was his first night without the cone. We all slept a little sounder J We took about 2 days of gradually having it off less and less. It helped that he was able to play with a lot of friends to help tire him out too! I’m sure he was pretty pooped, going from laying in the house for a week and a half, to having a busy few days!
Sunday was the annual Rottweiler Rescue benefit picnic at Token Creek. It was so much fun! It was like a family reunion! Wyatt got to see his Mom, Dad and 4 of his brothers & sisters. He had a blast and slept for about 3 hours straight after we got home (thankfully, because then I got a nap in too!).
It was great to see so many Rottweilers that had been unwanted – placed in great, loving homes. How fun to see Wyatt and his brothers all playing – a bunch of 9 month old, un-neutered male Rottweilers (sorry Wyatt!) all playing so nicely with each other (Thanks Joan for picking such a great breeding that produced fantastic temperaments!). And, talk about the food!! There were probably 3-4 picnic tables full of potluck food… Yep, you don’t have to tell a pregnant lady twice to get in line for food!
I was able to bid on some fun items too. I ended up winning a UW Badgers football, signed by Bret Bielema – Shh… Don’t say anything! It’s going to be Rudy’s birthday present when he turns 7 on September 24th !!
