Happy Birthday to My Daddy

Here I am getting ready to snuggle with my Daddy for his birthday present today. I just love to take naps with him! He does not move around at all and he knows just how to put his hand on my back without making it too heavy. I prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr for my Daddy a lot. I think it helps him not hurt so much sometimes.

My Daddy has to go to the human VET later this week to have another surgery on his shoulder. It is something called day surgery so we will not be left alone for very long. The VET will clean up scar tissue from his earlier surgeries and will clean out the debris caused by bone rubbing on bone for all these years. If my Daddy still has enough rotator cuff left the VET will put in a new patch that might help keep the joint from moving wrong. We purray that when he heals from this surgery he will have much less constant pain.

The night before the surgery my Daddy will eat lots of sushi and sashimi and Mom will eat filet mignon. I was a little bit concerned that my Daddy would eat Sushi but Mom promised me that it is fish and not my sweet woofie.

Anyway ~ we might not be able to get around and comment very much until after this is all over 'cuz everyone here is busy getting stuff like cooking and putting food in the freezer done ahead of time so Mom does not have to think much about that while she is taking care of my Daddy. She said it is not so much that he wants her to do a lot for him but that she needs to keep him from doing too much before he should.

We all would appreciate your purrayers and tail wags and prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs and head bumps!
