We love Charlie. His sweet demeanor, playfulness, laziness, adorableness makes it hard not fall in love with him immediately.
He wasn’t his normal self a couple of weeks ago. My sister, being the good mom she is, took him to see the vet. X-rays were taken, tummy medicine was given. But still he wasn’t Charlie. So she broke down and took him to the animal ER (Oh, the horror of those trips). The ER vet told her he had something 6 inches long stuck in his stomach. He would have to operate to get it out. There really wasn’t a question whether or not to do it (her pocket book begs to differ, I’m sure).
The surgery was a success. Charlie is back and recovering quickly. 5 inch long incision on his tummy and all. What a champ!
So what was stuck in his tummy? A sock. My sister’s sock. You can bet she won’t be leaving those lying around the house anymore.
The workers at the vet loved Charlie.
During his recovery stay, they let him eat lunch with them in their breakroom,
made him smell all pretty,
and sent him home in this adorble bandana
(which wasn't there for long...Skyler and Jason said it wasn't 'manly' enough)
