Bacca is starting to really perk up. He needs some help getting up and off the couch. Has a hard time getting comfortable at times but not in pain…just hard to find a spot on the cushions where he feels stable. He really prefers to be on the concrete floors. He is getting up to bark and hop to the door when he hears the neighbors’ dogs barking. Also runs around a bit outside when he wants to be the protector. Wondering if this crazy 100 degree heat makes him less interested in being out and about. We’ve taken him on a few short walks. He tires fast. But we also know not to let him keep going as he would wear himself out before he knows it. He is starting to be more playful when we present toys to him as he is laying down and doing some of his tug of war antics.
Yeah, this 100 heat DEFINITELY slows tripawds down! As you already know, it takes a lot more effort to hop along on three than four…And then add heat and humidity….UGH!
Two weeks into recovery, Bacca is doing remarkably well!
I know at forst, my Happy Hannah seemed to take her time getting herself into a position to lay down. So eone told me that, prior to amputatiin, they probably were used to “circling” in o e direction and laying predominately on o e side versus the other. If the amputation changes their “routine”, it takes a bit longer to develop a new ritual. Don’t k ow if it had any validity, but it seemed to make sense to Happy Hannah!
Own that sofa Bacca! It’s yours! 🙂
Hugs!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!
makes total sense. 😉
