He's home. In his kennel for his own protection from Beau and Apache who were very glad to see him. The vet had an emergency right before I got there and had to sew an ear back on before she could come in to give me my instructions. I could hear Cole in the back howling the whole time. When she came in and while I was signing that I was taking him home against her advice, she explained she'd had bad things happen when others hadn't taken her advice. An ortho case jumped through the window and undid everything she'd just done, etc. when she got to the 3rd case, I stopped her and said, "If I'd done that almost 7 years ago, Apache would have been put down instead of getting ready to celebrate his 7th birthday next month. Her eyes got big and she said, oh yeah but you are willing to do more than most owners. I said exactly!!!
