Lava’s on Vacation!

Lava is taking a long weekend at “Greyhound Central Resort and Spa” on the beautiful Patuxent River while his foster family has a well-deserved respite and some quality time with their own dogs at Greyhounds in Gettysburg. He was a little anxious for awhile after he arrived on Friday, but he settled down in his luxury suite for an afternoon nap. Dinner was the Chef’s Special of dry dog kibble and a little deer meat on the side with a cheese-medicine chaser. After a little jaunt on the grounds to sniff around and do some personal business, Lava had an evening Milkbone night cap and settled in for the night.

Checking out the accomodations:

Accomodations are judged satisfactory:

Saturday was beautiful and sunny, and Lava enjoyed several walks around the grounds led by various nature guides, followed by long naps in his luxury suite. He has been a perfect gentleman guest, very polite, and always ecstatic to see the staff and receive ear scritches and neck rubs. He has been eating, taking his medicine, and getting down to business like a champ.

Sunday dawned cool and dreary, but Lava received a spa and beauty treatment! After a breakfast in bed of pancakes and syrup (OK, so it was more like a small bite after his real breakfast of dog kibble *wink*), Lava had another walk around the grounds and an invigorating massage with the Zoom Groom.  A chamomile-lavendar bath wipe rounded out the experience.  Later, he had a very relaxing pet-icure while lying in the assistant’s lap (actually, he fell asleep!).  Lava was a patient, quiet gentleman throughout the treatment.

Peticures are exhausting!

 

Lava is now resting quietly in his suite, waiting for his foster family to arrive…

Lava has another follow-up with his surgeon, Dr. Morrison, this week. Stay tuned for an update on his progress!”
