Visited Zach in the ER for about an hour. He is doing well but still needs observation for fluid in his chest after his second surgery to correct a punctured lung and 4 broken ribs.

He was attacked by a dog on October 1st. #gofundme #silkenwindhound #dogs #silkens

The surgeon called. Zach is doing well. A laceration in the left lung was found and that section was removed. The 8th rib was very sharp and had likely punctured his lung during the healing process.

Monday update on Zach.

He had a good night, ate well and rested well. Likely surgery today to find and seal the holes in his lung.

As a writer and disabled vet, the burden for his care is great.

So my buddy Carlota, who is taking over Dogskull Patch, has a group of feral cats to deal. She’s been trapping and neutering as possible, but one sweetheart named Big Daddy showed up on the porch limping. Some asshole shot him. She’s raising money for his amputation and care. gofund.me/3b6cf293e

I can’t help due to my own GoFundMe for Zach, but I want to give others a chance to see this and be able to help if they would like.

Zach is leaky. He produced a lot if air overnight. More diagnostics today. Surgery is likely.

My book, Zach Tragic is based on this silly boy. He is my avatar and my heart.

I was wrong yesterday. I like to post crafty things on Tuesday and amateur radio things on Thursday. Ugh.

Enjoy this picture of Zach as he heals as an apology for my thematic transgressions.

Today, Zach is off his food. Again.

Pain was the cause the other day but today I think he feels tired and will eat when he is ready.

He did take all his meds, and eat a few bites for me.

Update on Zach.

The nighttime doctor called and said he is doing well. His pain medication was increased but he continues to get better.

We will bring the boy home this evening.
