Staples out, all seems to be going okay

Well yesterday's visit to the vet to get Jack's staples out was somewhat uneventful, unless you count that point where the technician, after sitting with us for a few minutes to capture some notes, tried to take Jack into the back... without me. The look on his face, as this tiny 100 lb dog was NOT going anywhere with him and was about to pull his arms off to get to me, was really priceless. After walking Jack to the back, the whole thing took only 5 minutes, out he came, straight to the car with the technician, and home we went. Two nights now without the bucket, Jack is MUCH happier. I'll post a picture of his leg later today when he decides to lay with it up. Two weeks down, 6 more to go for radiographs.
