Herbie Update 1.14.13

Via Doc Rick Broz:
"1-14-2013 Herbie update. Herbie was sleeping when I got there and he didn't seem to want to get up but he seemed to enjoy company and petting and a hug when he finally got up. I took him for a nice walk and once he felt the grass under his feet he just took off. We walked for about 5 minutes before he started getting tired. Oh by the way, his digestive system is still working very well. I had to carry him back in and my back confirms his substantial weight gain since our first meeting. The fluid still builds up under his scalp and has to be drained every couple days. Dr. Woods is leaving the incision open for continuous drainage which is the blood you see on top of his head. I cleaned it up some after our walk. After I put him back in his kennel he didn't seem to want me to leave so I stayed for a while more as he kept stretching towards me for more huggs and he nuzzled my face for the first time. So while weak he still is in good spirits. Pics were added to his album."

Lots of prayers still coming your way Herbie!!! Stay strong and we love you!! ♥ ♥

Sgt. Stubby: America's 1st Bully Hero!

In response to World War I, members of the First Company Governor's Foot Guard were activated and inducted into the 102nd Infantry Battalion of the 26th "Yankee" Division along with members of Connecticut's other Organized Militia units and numerous volunteers. During their training on the grounds of Yale University prior to deployment, they unexpectedly added a soldier to their company. Found by then-Private John Conroy, Stubby was a brindle patched puppy of unknown descent with a short tail from which he received his name. As the soldiers became familiar with army life, so did Stubby. Stubby became familiar with all of the bugle calls, the drill marching routines, and the routines of life in camp, even learning to give a dog's version of a salute. Stubby would would put his right paw on his right eyebrow when a salute was executed by others around him. Stubby's effect on the soldiers around him as well as his dedication to training and his ability to salute earned him the right to remain in the camp, even though animals were not allowed.
