Mikey’s Blog: Surgery and How to Make it Work for YOU
Hello Friends. I’ve been waiting for my mom to tell you all that I’ve had surgery. But all I saw was a hideous video of me testing treats with my donut on without knowing the video would go on social media….🤦🏻♀️ Then I was sure she’d make some sort of post about me… but no. And it’s not for me—it’s because I know all of YOU would be concerned about me… maybe you’d like to drop me off some goodies while I get well, or even tell my parents to take me home some treats from my favorite table in the shop…but how could you know to do that if you didn’t know…? I know it’s not exactly great manners to announce myself as convalescing, but circumstances clearly dictate that I take these matters into my own paws….
So since you didn’t know to send me “Get Well Soon” goodies—I got my own. And here’s a guide to doing it for all of your fur kids should they find themselves in the same position as me. I encourage them to bookmark this for the future….
1. Tumor removal isn’t really scary. I had a large mass removed so that I could walk better. My doctor said it looked like a breast implant came out… Not really what a clearly Alpha Male wants to hear, but I was pleased to hear it was bigger than expected so that my parents could feel thankful (and generous with goodies).
2. Medication must be given with food. Refuse dog treats of all kinds even if this is hard—because then they will open the refrigerator—and this is when you act like you are perking up a little. THEY WILL NOW OFFER CHEESE OR DELI MEAT—HOLD OUT FOR WHATEVER IS YOUR FAVORITE the first time. After this it will be offered each time. WINNER MIKE!
3. Stare at your food bowl a lot. If you have a cone on and a surgical suit they will feel bad. Just stand and stare. Eventually they will either bring cheese or dog cookies.
4. Be very good for medication and they will be so happy you will get extra goo

We are so excited to announce our newest product line, @einsteinpets !!! They have acquired our Keepin’ It Simple line of treats which means you can find the same wholesome, human-grade ingredient treats that you’ve loved from us, but with SO MANY NEW FLAVORS!!!😍😍 These treats are 100% natural and use human-grade ingredients like peanut butter, sweet potato, and heart-healthy oats. They also add chia seeds to every batch for a nutritional boost and fiber for healthy digestion. Chia seed has more calcium per ounce than milk, more antioxidants than blueberries, and 8 times more Omega-3 fatty acids than wild salmon. It’s truly a superfood!
Raylan has been taste-testing the new flavors and he recommends…all of them!😆 Check out our new treat wall—we know your fur kids will love these!❤️🐾❤️🐾 #splashanddashsouthernpines #doggrooming #dogboutique #doglove #becausetheyarefamily #southernpinesnc #bestofthepineswinners2024 #adorable #dogloversclub #pinehurst #aberdeen #october #fallyall #halloween #einsteinpets #treats #yummy
