Staples...wtf?!?! I thought on Thursday Dr. Perry told me that they had removed all of the staples. As I was examining Newton's incision today, I noticed some shiny things under the hair. Upon close examination, I realized that they only removed some of the staples. All of the staples in his lower incision are still there. I knew that they didn't remove the extra sutures that they had added, but I was quite shocked to see the staples. I sent an email off to Dr. Perry since I am not sure who or when the rest of the staples should be removed.

Newton is feeling much better (although I am under the weather). He has also gotten to be much calmer and more friendly to people when they come over. I'm not sure if it is a result of the bone cancer (since I started noticing this change when he first started limping) or if it is a result of his neuter, but I'll take it. One of my neighbors had a Halloween party. Well of course, everybody wants to come and see Newton. He didn't bark at anybody, wasn't scared of any of the costumes, and played the best host ever (visiting everybody and giving them ample time to give him a good pet). I love the fact that my neighbors are feeling much more comfortable around him. That makes him feel much more comfortable around them.
