Groucho on Drugs and in Jail

Guinness here--walk with me for a bit while I tell you about Groucho. Last week, Groucho dislocated his hip AGAIN the day before he was due to get his sling off. It was kind of my mom's fault. She went over to his house and he followed her downstairs without anyone noticing...
Then he couldn't get back UP the stairs on 3 legs. So she tried to gently "bum boost" him. Well, on that last step the little guy got over ambitious and did a sort of jump to the top...

...and that is when it happened. Hmmm...the cows look good. So now he has to keep his sling on for TWO WEEKS and no fooling around this time or it could mean surgery if it happens again. The vet said this was not a breed thing, or a dog thing or an age thing...it was just a fluke thing.


Let's rest here a bit... Where was I? Oh yes, just like any human can dislocate their shoulder, so can any alien dislocate their hip. Guess he shouldn't have been practicing his levitational skills in bed. SOB.



Well, my humans went over to Groucho's for supper and here inlies the scandal.


This is called a "Maritime Turkey Dinner" and WE WERE NOT INVITED!


Worst of all, we could not enlist the help of Groucho's other worldly levitational skills to sneak us some. See look--here he is in jail! He has to be kept still and quiet.


And see him knocked out cold? It is because he is on drugs too! He has been rendered completely useless. So no lobster for us...and for a little while, no Groucho either.

  1. Groucho - we are pretty sure that part of the recovery regimen is being hand fed lobster.

  2. Ouch! Groucho! That has to hurt. I always knew he wasn't glued together properly. Now he is on drugs too? I think he will need mentals therapy or maybe an intervention.

    Too bad you guys were not able to go to the dinner party but we guess things had to be kept quiet for the patient.

  18. oh no! poor Groucho! I must remember, in case I am ever in the same situation, that bum boosting is not a good idea!

    I think under the circumstances Groucho can be forgiven for becoming a drug-user.
    But probably it should not be forgiven that you did not get any maritime turkey!

    your pal,

  23. Poor Groucho! What an absolutely insane thing to happen. I am certainly glad to hear it is not a breed thing. Sending Groucho some green healing energy...

    Saige looks awesome--I love the picture of her resting beneath the tree. Wow it is so green where you are.

    Good luck keeping him quiet, I am sure it is a huge job.

    Hugs, Nanci, Isabella and Pharaoh
