End of Week 4

One month has now passed, the boys have continued to gain weight and confidence.  We were happy to hear that at the end of this week due to their progress, they would be able to have all their vet work done.
Picture
While catching some morning sun in our room, Phoenix decided to give Oscar a clean. He even tried to clean his teeth!
Picture
Evening cuddles on the couch.
Picture
Quite spontaneously Phoenix put his leg over Dusty for a cuddle. They do sleep a lot, but that is all part of the healing process.
Picture
Sun catchers...
Picture
Doona diving.
Picture
Dusty decided he also needed to rest on my pillow as well as take over my bed.
Picture
A flying visit to Melbourne meant the boys were finally off to the vet for their work!
Picture
Vet work was a success and both boys were stars! Phoenix has had to have a collar put on as he was trying to remove his stitches...
Picture
Maybe if l stretch out, this cone might come off...
Picture
Digby trying to tell Phoenix, 'No toast for you yet'.
Picture
'But l am doing my best ears, please can l have some toast'.
Picture
Digby sharing his crusts.
Picture
Phoenix got to his stitches while l was out today and so it was back to the vet for staples - ouch! Not to mention a much bigger collar. He is NOT happy.
Picture
The boys were also given these bandanas today at the vet (not because they are cute) because they are getting quite anxious when l go out now. The hormones sprayed onto the bandana should help with their anxiety...
Picture
After a good feed and maybe the bandana, this is the most relaxed l have seen Phoenix. Normally when my partner comes into the room, he leaves; tonight he just lay there.

Hi,
I was shocked to see the day 1 pics of these beautiful whippets. Our whippet girl that was a pup when I last saw you in Sydney, is now a healthy young adult dog and it breaks my heart to see this kind of neglect. We have also taken on a IG stray from ARF called Harry who has settled in well. Keep in touch if you ever need any assistance from down south.
Cheers
