Once a mom, always a mom apparently

This is the pitiful, drugged-out creature parked in a chair next to my computer today. Jerry had surgery on his paw this morning, and doesn’t want to eat, or drink, or move. Just gives a pitiful little whine every now and then.
It’s just a wee bit hard to concentrate on my work.
Do you want a drink? A popsicle? Should I turn up the heat? Can I get you something to read? I keep asking him, as I plump up his pillows. I have several bottles of pills for him, too, which he can’t have until he eats something.
Are you ready to eat yet? A sausage sandwich, maybe? Would you like one of the cats?
Pitiful.
I have a deadline in two days, too. So what do I do… take him to childcare? Hire a sitter?
Maybe I should just tell him to snap out of it. Hey! Come on, Buddy! You think your life is tough?!? It was just a glorified HANGnail, for goodness sake. Get over yourself already! Hey! Up and at ‘em!!
Aww, shucks…

Pet the sweet baby for me. And big ear scratches.
Good luck with the deadline.

Awwwww. Kisses and wags.
Funny how, in the absence of my Actual Child, my dog has also somehow grown more demanding, insisting I do things for him he’s never cared all that much about in the past, like go for a SECOND run, even though husband usually takes him early every morning….

Aww. Poor pooch. Don’t give him one of the cats though… then you’ll just have two creatures to pity and fret over. Actually, he doesn’t look like he’s fit to do much damage to anybody. Poor pup.

Poor Jerry. I have pictures of Tucker with his paw bandaged, seven years ago, sitting on the couch, looking exactly as miserable.

[...] Now I ask you. Is this any way to treat a poor, stoned dog? [...]

Poor little scoodyboodywoody. What happened? Did he tear his dewclaw?

AW! What a poor puppy. He looks so sad, but still maintains his adorqable-ness at the same time. Take good care Mommy-o!
