Better Already....but still a long way to go!

Well Saturday and Sunday have been a couple of LONG days!!! Being cooped up all day is NOT very much fun! I try to be good but I just get so bored laying around all day. By the time it's suppose to be time to go to bed I just can't sleep anymore so I toss and turn all night long. This makes Dad nervous because he's afraid that I'm going to lick my sutures. I've been really good and stayed away from them though. My leg is getting more bruised but Mom says it still looks ok. I go out several times each day to go to the restroom but Mom and Dad are getting a little nervous because I've only peed so far. Mom says she's going to call tomorrow and see if there is anything she can do to help me. I've also eaten a little bit but not much. I'm not a fan of dry dog food at all! Mom went and got me some expensive wet food that kinda looks like they took a can of Campbell's Chunky and put it in a dog food container. I ate two containers of it on Saturday and ate about half a container today. I know that I need to eat more but nothing really tastes good right now. :(

I do have lots of good treats that I've been eating on though! Bristol's family gave me a gift card to Petsmart for babysitting Bristol while they got settled into their new house a while back and Mom bought me lots of treats and toys with the gift card. She got me a Kong toy which will be lots of fun once I'm up and moving a little more but for right now I'm just eating the treats. I also got some Beggin' Treats and Beef Liver treats that I've been munching on. My Grandma Ann was down this weekend and she bought me some good chicken treats that are good for my joints that are SOOO Yummy. She also bought me a monkey stuffed animal that I like to sleep with. I love chomping on those! And My Grandma Stallbaumer, Hammes, and Koelzer sent me an AWESOME treat bouquet!!! Thanks soooo much to ALL my grandma's who sent me yummy treats!!!

Mom and Grandma went shopping yesterday and Dad was trying to get some sleep since he stayed up with me last night so Dad put my "collar of shame", as we call it, on to make sure I wouldn't lick my sutures while he was sleeping. I was a good boy with it on but didn't like it very much so I sure was happy when he took it off me!

Mom and Dad say that I'm WAAAY better than I was Friday night. Mom keeps saying I have a twinkle back in my eye! I'm awake more during the day and have spent the last two days looking out the front door and trying to keep everyone out of my yard. Squirrels aren't very intimidated by me when I'm behind a door though! My leg is still pretty sore but I'm starting to put it down just a little bit when I'm standing. I haven't tried putting any weight on it yet but it gives me a little better balance to put it down when I'm just standing up!

Dad has to go to work tomorrow and Mom is staying home with me so she gets to stay up with me tonight. She's not nearly as good at staying up all night as Dad is so we'll see how it goes! I'll try to let Mom get some sleep tonight! Talk to you all soon and thanks for checking up on me!

Love,
Doc


I try to be a good boy so I don't have to wear this thing! I DO NOT LIKE IT AT ALL!!!

Thanks so much Grandma Stallbaumer, Grandma Hammes, and Grandma Koelzer....These were the first treats that I would try on Saturday!!! I'm one spoiled puppy!!!
