Day before surgery number 2

Raven's one hip is still popping (the one that hasn't had surgery), while the other one hasn't made a sound.  We are hoping he won't need the other surgery, yet the popping doesn't bode well.  He is spending the day being walked to his favorite places on the property, being given extra attention and time with Sula, and treats. 

His cut is almost healed and ready for the stitches to come off.  The hair is at least growing back, giving him some shred of dignity.

It's hard to see him so happy knowing what the next day entails.  This time he will be staying for 5 nights instead of 2, to help with the pain as well as to give my mom a few more nights of much needed sleep.  This vet is a great guy.  Raven will be visited every day until he can come home.

He enjoyed his pre-surgery night by dozing on the office mattress with his family doting on his every need.
