Poor baby Guinness. . .

Things have been a little rough in the Hopkins house lately. Guinness was next up to visit the hospital. He had to have surgery on his little (well lets rephrase that... NOT so little) paw on Tuesday. LONG story short, he had an old injury from his old family (bad family ;op) that they never took care of and it became super infected. There was a lot of scar tissue that needed to be removed as well as the infection. So to say the least, having an 80lb dog wander around the house with a cone is pretty funny. But on a serious side- since we do not have kids yet- Kingstin and Guinness are our kids and taking care of him was super important to us. It was so sad to see him all druged up. I think I got a "small" super small glimpse into parenthood and what is it like to have a sick baby. ..

Guinness and all of his cone head glory.....
The vet had to "jimmy rig" his cone so that he could not get to his paw. Oh yes... the baby boy took his bandage off with is cone head still on the day after his surgery! I know you wish your dog was as talented as mine!!!
Our handsome boy with his hurt paw....
Guinness and his favorite brother.... Kingstin- doing their favorite thing- EATING. Just an idea of how big Guinness really is compared to our little one. But he loves his Kingstin Behr! They are pretty darn cute together! ...Don't worry Jim- we still love Tobias. :)
