estela, my workmate who designed the flag for the african union LOVES harry, it's his favorite! he even remembered harry's name after seeing the pic on my website. :)))

:D
also, i love his flag.

i searched for a "pet" thread to bump with a question about "how's harry?!" with no recollection whatsoever that i had previously bumped this thread. silly.
anyway: estela, how is your fine example of civilized behavior?!
― lxy, Monday, 7 May 2012 17:55 (twelve years ago) link
civilised behaviour
he is wonderful as ever but his other knee has apparently developed the same problem as the other one so he has to have that awful surgery and then the whole locked in a pen/slow recuperation/can't be left alone saga is back on, starting later this week i think, i have to see the vet later today. at least it happened at the end of our trip and not before or early on, otherwise i would have had to stay here and i would not have wanted to miss that superb vacation. i think he's a little bit mad because we woke up at 3 and for him that's the middle of the night so now he's lying on a pillow with a dramatic exhausted look on his face. (it's 5am here now.)

he accidentally got two dental bones, his most favourite things, this morning via sad, hopeful looks at f. and i when the other was not in the room. he drooped his tail sadly when f. was leaving for work but as soon as the door had closed he raised it up again and wagged it at me. he would have done the same if it were me leaving and f. staying, he is a disgrace.

i bet he'll be happy to see the playpen again
― lxy, Tuesday, 8 May 2012 13:02 (twelve years ago) link
oh i just saw the thread title change<3
i think he will be horrified to see the playpen again. last time i sat in there with him and nonchalantly read a book for a while so he would think it was a new couch and not a punishment cell but he was plainly dubious.
― estela, Thursday, 10 May 2012 04:24 (twelve years ago) link
he's licking his lips in the dark ( it's early here but i can't sleep, we're still a bit on californian time, i am posting from under the blankets). he doesn't know he's having a surgery today, the poor little bosthoon.

i am thinking of my little friend
― lxy, Thursday, 10 May 2012 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
your little friend just attempted a giant leap off the bed in the dark and when i thwarted it and lifted him down he showered me with terrible kisses, he is a wrong'un.

i do, you know. sorry i was mean in that other thread.

well then, never mind :)

i have to know now.
― estela, Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
f. just took harry for a walk and he's nil by mouth so he got no little snack afterwards and now he's giving us these ghastly starving yet optimistic looks, his eyes look huge.
― estela, Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
i was catty about your wisjes for southeastbound travellers. :(
do you think harry would perk up if you showed him this picture from damage control? it's been slaying me for a full 30 hours.

that little smug one on the left is cut from the same cloth as our harry, i am certain. the sad one on the right is sad indeed, is he not?
― lxy, Thursday, 10 May 2012 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
how is my friend?
― lxy, Friday, 11 May 2012 00:31 (twelve years ago) link
he's in surgery now, the vet scooped him up into his arms and beamed at him and said, 'we'll fix you up, monster!' and there was a distinct note of <3 in his voice. sometimes he calls harry 'mate'.

he's going to have to wear one of those buckets next week, between the bandage coming off and the stitches coming out, because he is a stitch-attacking duffer.
― estela, Friday, 11 May 2012 02:12 (twelve years ago) link
he's done! he has to stay in overnight and we can get him in the morning.
― estela, Friday, 11 May 2012 03:10 (twelve years ago) link
oh yay! mending already!!!
― lxy, Friday, 11 May 2012 03:39 (twelve years ago) link
he'll be a sad-faced rotter for a week, and then he'll be a pampered babby for five, and then he'll be better than ever for the foreseeable future!!!
― lxy, Friday, 11 May 2012 03:42 (twelve years ago) link
he will be bored is the worst thing, usually he has little lightbulb ideas throughout the days and evenings and he zips around the house carrying them out and he won't be able to do that due to being locked up.
― estela, Friday, 11 May 2012 03:51 (twelve years ago) link
i have already picked out a name for my imaginary/future dog: mavis
jordan wants to call it catpig or thrillpony or one of many other v stupid names that he comes up with on purpose to annoy me.
lxyjergz when are you getting a dog???

how is my imaginary pet today?
we're picking him up in 30 mins, forgetful of the past 24 hours I hope.

he's sitting in his pen glaring at us. but he seems quite well, better than last time i think. <3

a terrible poodle from up the street who has had both of her knees operated on in the past just galloped past our window with a gleeful look on her face and harry did a sad puffy little sigh.
― estela, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 22:25 (twelve years ago) link
lol, he is a bbb.

I am worried about poor Harry's origami ear tbh and hope he is milking it for treats and sympathy like nobody's business.
― jaq, Wednesday, 20 March 2013 20:47 (eleven years ago) link
did it occur to anyone that george w. bush was trying to paint harry but, as usual, couldn't get it right

― tehresa, Sunday, 24 March 2013 13:57 (eleven years ago) link
thanks jaq, harry's ear is almost fully recovered but he still has to wear a bucket on his head so he won't scratch it. but he is in high spirits.
that proud bush with his artless bichon painting photo is lol, it reminded me of occupational therapy at rehab which i had not thought about for years. the whole room couldn't believe we were doing irl occupational therapy, it was a new kind of low for people with considerable experience in lows. cynicism, merriment and ugly leather goods abounded.

our most darling harry is 15 years old today, a little deaf but cheerful and spry <3
which means a special meatball must be baked and also:
very happy australian birthday wishes to jaq<3

we lost our beautiful harry early yesterday morning, very suddenly. he took ill so we took him to the emergency room where he was diagnosed with internal beeding from a large tumor on his liver and spleen. he had to be euthanised immediately as he was in pain and failing very quickly. he'd shown no symptoms at all, he was cheerful, eating well, walking 3-4 times with enthusiasm. his death was very peaceful. our grief is indescribable. he was a wonderful little dog and we are very grateful to have had him for so long. rip little man.
― estela, Sunday, 20 August 2017 20:28 (six years ago) link
I'm so sorry to hear that <3 he was a little champion of dog pictures on the internet

aw estela i'm sorry. i know he had a long and happy life with you though.

thank you mookie and harbly and tza. this is so painful, we can hardly bear it. but we know we were very lucky to have him for 15 years, and it was our great pleasure to give him a lovely life. he was a delight.
― estela, Friday, 25 August 2017 13:45 (six years ago) link
he was far and away the best quadruped ever to say hi to me on the internet, that's for sure
i'm so sorry. i wish i could have flopped his ears and given all of you a hug
