The long weekend is over for us over here in the US and although hubby and I managed to have a good time we were largely confined to stay within our home. Why? Poor Hitchcock’s anal gland ruptured once again (the first time happened last year) and although we got him into the vet for surgery right away as last time, this time he had a LOT of complications arise from the surgery which has left the poor dog with health issues that we need to keep an eye on. He has perfected the “don’t you feel sorry for me?” look and is being very very spoiled. Don’t believe me? Check out these shots… and please forgive his desperate need to be groomed. I was supposed to groom him two days after the surgery and then with the surgery, wearing that collar and everything else, well, he is looking really raggedy!
And asleep on his bed (okay, okay, this one made me laugh!):
And then today, perfecting the look that says “you want to pet me, don’t you?”
Although he is improving (slowly but surely), until he’s 100% we aren’t leaving him alone for too long… which meant staying in this wekend. We didn’t mind too much, though, as we were able to enjoy the fireworks from our balcony! As usual, they were beautiful! Here are some of my favorites:
Love the smoke in these two!
And smaller fireworks with the Verrazano bridge in the background:
Hope you all had a great 4th of July weekend!
Poor Hitchcock! Your photos of fireworks are amazing thanks for sharing.
Poor Hitchcock. I hope he feels all better really soon!
Aww, look at that poor little doggie.. He really has perfected that look. All it needs is a really tiny, quiet little whine any time you make direct eye contact and it’d be impossible to ignore!
And fireworks! Oooh! I love fireworks. A lot. Your photos are excellent 🙂
Hope Hitchcock is feeling better and back to his old self soon.Sending hugs his way. Staying in for those spectacular fireworks…not so bad. Beautiful!
hopefully hitchcock is back to himself and feeling better soon! our yorkie just had invasive surgery so he has been making the exact same face, and even sleeping in his bed almost the exact same way for the past week. so lots of spoiling here too and not much leaving the house. your photos of the fireworks are beautiful!
Oh poor puppy! I hope he feels better soon. Lots of gentle pats from me to him.
And fireworks! That’s one of the things I really miss here. No fireworks.
Hope Hitchcock feels better and that mom and dad don’t suffer too much either. it’s hard when the baby is sick and can’t tell us what’s wrong. Love the fireworks pix. My youngest DD saw them too from the 59 floor of a building in Manhattan. She sent me a pic of the smiley face fireworks.
Aww, poor Hitchcock 🙁 Hope he feels better soon. My dog lies like that in his bed – feet in, head on the floor – it’s very strange. It doesn’t look comfortable, but they must like it…
Lovely photos of the fireworks!! Do your dogs get scared of the noise? Mine is terrified of them, and thunder, which we had yesterday.
This is my second attempt at leaving a comment for you. I hope Hitchcock is feeling better now. Greats shots of the firework.. You take great photos. Thanks for sharing!
Poor Hitchcock! I hope he recovers quickly. You got some beautiful shots of the fireworks.
