Editor’s note: Many of you followed Archie’s progress as he underwent surgery on both shoulders early last fall. We’re all happy to tell you that Archie’s blogging haitus hasn’t been because he hasn’t had much to say, but because he’s had so much to DO. He spent much of December and January in the field with Dr. […]

After three weeks of trips around the block, I finally got to take the “walk” I’d been waiting for last weekend. Mom and dad took me down to the San Rafael Valley in southeastern Arizona, home of oak-studded grassy canyons and the Mearn’s quail, a really cool little bird that pointing dogs love. While I […]

We went to see Dr. Lirtzman today, and I got the news I was looking for! Two or three brief walks a day in the neighborhood for the next few weeks, with increasing “road time” after that. Although I still have some soreness in my shoulders, there is very little swelling and I no longer […]

So, it’s been 9 days since the shoulder surgery, and (aside from a dorky haircut and some surgical staples) you’d never know I’ve been under the knife. I am still taking anti-inflammatory drugs and injections to help my cartilage heal, but Mom and Dad stopped sedating me a day or two ago, and I’m driving […]

Well, it’s been two days since Dr. Lirtzman removed a dime-sized cartilage flap from each of my shoulders, and already Dad’s having trouble keeping me quiet. Consequently, I’m spending a lot of time resting in my kennel, save for short leash walks into the yard to go to the bathroom. I’m not sure who this […]

Hey, it’s me, Archie. Don’t tell my mom I hijacked her laptop, OK? Dad (a.k.a. Dr. Griswold) has been having so much fun with this blog thing, I thought I’d give it a try. It took everything in me to behave and not keep the whole family awake by wrestling with Rana at bedtime, but […]
