Welcome home Inky!

Inky was sprung from the vets today! He seemed very happy about this until we got out the front door . The cooler fall air hit and the rush of cars passing by unnerved him. Once home I lifted him out of his cat carrier and he began to pur non-stop. Obviously happy to be HOME he went into hyper mode trying to walk all over the place. It is not easy to watch him get up or sit down right now. HIs remaining hind leg does all the work. Since surgery required removal of  some hair you can unfortunately see the bones and muscles at work. Amazing in some sense but also a reminder of the loss of that 4th leg, so taken for granted. Mom calmed him down and he ate well and then it was time to put up the baby gate and let him get some rest. Except that Inky's eyes stayed wide open. 
Awake. 
Aware. 
Home. 
Stitches might come out on Monday!
