Angie has been discharged from the hospital 🥰🥰 He didn't enjoy his time in recovery, too scared to eat so we'd visit and hand feed him each day, but now he's home devouring food and snoring like a train ♥️

We got to visit Angie in recovery today; he's still in his oxygen crate, but he's awake and alert. Wagged his tail and scratched his beans to demand we release him. He's off all heart meds ♥️🥰

When I turned 30 last year, someone told me "30 is when your bones are no longer made of rubber". I am currently incapacitated by neck pain. Were they just warning me, or was it a curse?
