We loaded up in my wife’s Jeep Cherokee and headed to North Scottsdale to one of the best surgeons in the valley.

We did not know what to expect. We did not know if we would just be doing a consultation or going right into surgery.

We were driving in rush hour and I had to slam on the breaks. When I slammed on the breaks Gus went forward and let out the loudest cry. At that moment my wife and I looked at each other and said “We are making sure he is getting operated on today.”

We got there and meet with the doctor. She told us Gus would have to stay overnight and they would run a blood test to make sure his liver enzymes were okay.

We said our goodbyes and left our future TriPawd there.

After 4-5 hours we heard from the doctor and everything went well. No complications.

My wife called every couple of hours that night to make sure Gus was okay. The nurses loved him. She made the last call around 12:30 am and went to bed.

We couldn’t sleep and wait to get our boy. We loaded up again and we off to go pick him up.

Gus walking into the doctors office the day before with his broken leg… it pains me to watch this to this day.

  1. Super Pup indeed! Adorable.

    That ride to the clinic must have felt like it took forever. Yikes. I would have burst out into tears when I heard that yelp. Poor guy.

    About the video…see my previous comment. Can’t wait to see it.
