Just how big is a Yorkie, anyway?

Dad is doing much, much, MUCH better

He's showing signs of improvement almost every hour it seems. He's still got a long way to go to recovery, but things are looking a little bit better every day. The doctors said that 2 weeks without infection is the magic number. 1 week almost all the way down, a little over another week to go. We're almost halfway there! :o)


Mom and I toured some rehab places on Friday and picked a couple that we thought he'd be comfy in. Dad chose from those and will be going to a place that will let the little Yorkie visit and let Dad pick his own meals from what is available. When he gets a little more mobile, Mom can go get him and take him out to eat, or visiting, or whatever. He'll spend 2-3 weeks there, and when he comes home, he should be able to maneuver around really well and take care of most of his own stuff without a lot of help.


Jack came in on Friday and will stay until Dad is moved to the rehab center. Then we'll both go home for a bit. Mom & Dad's little dog, Sam, decided he was going to sleep with us the first night Jack was in. Sam is a Yorkie, and you'd think he wouldn't take up much room in the bed, right? Shows how much I think... that little dog managed to have both of us clinging to the sides of the bed to keep from falling off. I don't know how, but a dog that is only 9" or so tall at the shoulder still managed to take up most of a sofa bed all by himself. I think Mom & Dad should have named him "Stretch" or something. :o)
