Bertie Dog's Surgery Went Well

"God bless us, everyone."
Over a week ago, Bertie--in chasing a squirrel--injured his back left leg, tearing his ACL.  In order to heal and walk again, he needed to undergo some pretty serious surgery.  On Thursday, Bertie came through surgery very well.  He's now home and alert and hungry, and being a very, very good boy.

He has a cast on his leg, but that will come off next week, and in a few weeks, he'll be scampering around as usual.  I want to thank Bertie's surgeon, Dr. Mapes, for doing such a good job and everyone at the Animal Medical Center for taking such good care of my boy.

We're going to rest the next couple of days, but we'll be back online on Monday.  Thanks for your patience!

It seems Mr. Punch has offered up a few things below.  They're mostly puppet-centric as one might expect.
