Finally, after a long day, Li'l Smokey is done and can now rest. 

Today's ordeal included a 100-mile drive from Rancho Cordova, CA to South Lake Tahoe, CA, being stuck with a needle, and having the bandages on all of his paws changed while he slept. Tomorrow, he'll continue his recovery. With skills and a little bit of luck, this will all be over soon, and he'll be a healthy, happy little bear cub again.  And, best of all, once his rehabilitation is complete, he'll be returned to the wild, where he belongs!
