A heartfelt thanks to everyone who sent Quinta and me much love and words of support and encouragement. Although we are far away, they were duly received and helped us get through the surgery on Thursday.
Quinta is a strong and resilient boy. He is still recovering in the hospital, but getting stronger by the day. Yesterday, when I visited him, he immediately stood up and licked my hand as if to say, “I am so happy!” Like all good Labs, he has not lost his appetite (!!) and is getting straight-As in the “voracious eater” department. I brought over some cherry tomatoes (Quinta’s favorite snack) that my father grew this summer for Quinta, and Quinta ate them with gusto.
I realize that there will be ups and downs in the recovery process, but I am grateful that Quinta is doing well, thanks to all the support we have received from everyone around the world.
Ohhhh beautiful Quinta! Lovely boy you are indeed!
Glad you’re feeling a little relief! Quinta will be feeling some relief too once he gets past the recovery!
I,m glad he’s recovering nicely. It sou ds like he’s very diligent in is care…..as are you! Cherry tomatoes, huh? Never would have thought of that as “treat” I think yur Dad must use ice cream to fertilize them and make them taste great!!
Look forward to more updates!! We are all here for you!!
