Beanies getting on grand. I was much more strict with the cage rest this week which was easier than the previous week. He gets a bit frustrated the odd time and paws to get out but i just leave the room and he stops
or else id give in. I see definite improvement this week so will see what the surgeon says on friday.
Glad to hear everyones getting on ok. Its such a slooooow process but necessary, so we just have to keep the heads down and get on with it

Yeah Bailey is the same trying to gallop around the place - thats why I got the kids socks with non slip stuff on the sole to go over the bandage so he doesn't slip lol
EDIT - pic added - Holding his pigeon (he holds his soft toys for ages gently mouthing them) and resting his foot on his ball :pac:

I was in a chipper this evening and an approximately 10 year old boy launched into a conversation with me. - Is that a dog whistle? What kind of dog do you have? My uncle has a springer, he's a gundog but he does tricks too, he likes sausages and getting his ears scratched . . . 10 minutes of advice on how I should look after and train my dog followed this, mostly stuff he had picked up from his own observations seemingly. It's very important to know this stuff as he's going to have his own dog some day you know! Definitely the highlight my week
<ETA> I wonder if he's reading this? *waves*0 -

The slipper socks are €2 in Penneys and they have boy and girl ones lol!!
We have mats between the front and back doors to stop him slipping (we have wooden floors) - 4 of these ones that we got last year - http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/30144455/ is Flo still on pain meds? - Bailey has slowed right down since the bandages came off and he finished the meds. The vet said he's still sore and it's fine to give him more if he needs them but i'm playing it by ear and seeing how he is each day obviously I don't want him to be in pain but on the other hand I don't want him over doing it because he doesn't feel the pain if that makes sense? Also she said she admired the way i'm taking care of him because it's not easy and that I was right to get the second opinion - yaaaay!! He was all over her too thank god - after he was a brat the week before with the other vet!!! 0 -

sick tummy on dexter, came home from a date to a nice runny poo in the kitchen, back to earth with a bang
The back garden resembles a building site today, the mud he's dug up is unreal, if I'd left it another 20 minutes I'd have no idea where he buried his foodbowl.0 -

I know, he was giving me the option of waiting until next friday but he wasnt hopeful and that'd mean in total it'd be 10 weeks in the crate...such a long time. Ah its really not the end of the world, its just a big op for a cat apparently and then the time to let it heal. He's only 2 and far too young to be having these problems. Ah noooooo poor Beanie and poor you. That's such a pain in the a$$ now starting again from square one 3 weeks in!!0 -
Ah yes, it's entering that time of year. You get up just as the sun is starting to rise, but the house is still fairly dark. Wander into the sitting room, light on, the dog raises her head and looks at you like "WTF do you want, I'm sleeping here".
Now she follows me into the kitchen, big stretch, sits in her bed waiting for me to put her food out, eats it, then back into the sitting room and into that bed and back to sleep.
What a life.
I wish!
Now that's it's dark in the evenings, walks have switched to the mornings. So at 7.15 I get up and throw on a tracksuit and my coat and by the time I get to the kitchen the pair of them are frenzied with excitement for the impending walk. They wake my OH and probably the neighbours with the noise they make when I lift the leads!
Butter wouldn't melt:

Ah I can't believe the difference in Benson!!! I saw him on EGARs FB etc when he went there and to see him now without a care in the world - well done borderlinemeath
Thanks:) a mil! Coco has been brilliant with him, she really has helped him come out of his shell and become a proper dog. He's so attached to her now and she's accepted him with open paws! They really are best friends.:D
God love him, he had such a bad start to his little life, he was scared of so much when he arrived, so much so he would barely rest his head for the first night but now he hasn't got a care in the world! Except where his next cuddle is coming from!!0 -
