I called the SPCA out in Abbottsford to see how Max was doing, and she said Max left to go have his surgery and he won’t be back out there tonight, that they keep him at the clinic overnight, but that he would be returned in the morning and would be there before they open to the public. I told her that we would most likely be out there around 2 ish and Alicia said that was fine.

I asked Alicia if he would be doing the cone thing, and she said no, they don’t usually unless they are really chewing at it, and that it’s not a super painful surgery so he would most likely not be on pain meds. So the cone is one indignity that he will be spared hopefully, but if he needs it, he’ s going to have it.  It’s a hard thing to start your new life in pain post operatively, but hopefully this little guy will find each day with us gets better and better. 🙂

I’ve given Alicia the website info and where she can come to get updates on Max as I know she really likes him alot and has bonded with him. It’s swell to know he has touched people’s hearts even from a cage. He looks to be a very special boy… well he picked us didn’t he!? 🙂 hee hee

I am hoping we can make a new memorial section on our website so we can honour Buck, and also Bugsy and Malone the two cats (husband and wife) that we had for so many years… getting them at age 6-7, and caring for them until they were seniors at 18+…  there will be comfort in looking at that area for us, knowing we did the best we could for them, and gave them all a pretty darned good life. 🙂
