Parker has many nicknames in our house. One of the most used is "baby buffalo." That's because when he was younger we noticed that he just kinda barreled around like a buffalo. If you called him over from across the room he would run at you full force - full of excitement - until he hit you. If he were going after a frisbee, he would go right through bushes and shrubs like they weren't even there. So the name just stuck.
Tomorrow will be a week since Parker's ACL surgery. This was him before we took him in for surgery.
And this is my poor sweet baby after the surgery. He HATES the cone - but he has to wear it until the incision heals so he doesn't cause an infection by licking it. He also hates being in his cage ALL day, but that too is necessary otherwise he would absolutely re-injure his leg before it's all healed up. He's like a little kid that doesn't realize they have a broken bone. So for at least 7 more weeks we have to put up with the pathetic faces and the crying.

| He only comes out of the cage to potty, eat / drink, and to get the leg iced. |

| with his leg shaved you can really see the bruising. He was really wiggly - so this is the most clear picture I have. |

gotta love the buffalo
Awww, it's so sad to see him with the cone and in his kennel. He's always so full of energy so I'm sure he's not liking this at all.
