Good time Charlie's got the blues

It's been a long week of interrupted sleep and intermittent emergencies culminating in surgery for Charlie on Friday morning. He'd been to the vet on Wednesday, seemed to be improving, but sealed the deal Thursday night. He'd eaten something that did some damage to his stomach.



We're glad it wasn't any worse. Here he is loaded into the back seat on his way to the vet.



He came home today, tired but glad to be here.







Recuperation will take a while. He has pills to take and needs a shot daily to guard against infection. The purple bandage covers his IV port.
