Just a couple more pictures before Tonkas’ ears are lopped off… I couldn’t imagine what he would look like with “big boy” ears!

- Presa Dad, your water looks tastier than mine!

- Ah, a dog’s life…

- This is the last photo we have showcasing Tonka’s natural ears…

- Where my little brother? Well, I’ll sleep with Presa Mama and Presa Dad tonight, but I miss my Tonka…
Lola will take after her mom Avva de Presas del Caribe and keep her ears long and natural. There’s just something so sweet about them. We didn’t get her to show her, so why put her throught unnecessary pain? Tonka will be a strong candidate for showmanship, plus taking care of one recuperating puppy will be easier than two, right?
Tonka’s vet was very good and explained the procedure, step by step. Presa Dad got to see him after the surgery. Poor guy was still groggy. He stayed overnight so that the vet tech could keep a close eye on him until the next day.
I knew we would miss him, but I didn’t realize just how much! Little Lola had never been alone at night, always having her littermates and mom to snuggle with. So, we inflated the air mattress and had a slumber party! Just Presa Mama, Presa Dad and Lola.
Now I understand why Tonka and Lola sleep all day: they are up all night long! Guard dogs… 🙂 I wouldn’t have slept very well anyway, thinking about Tonka and anxious to bring him back home.
Tonka and Lola are 14 weeks old in these photos.
