Hey everybody. It's now 2 weeks today since we took Cooper home from his knee op. He's doing really well. He had his stitches out Monday and the vet was really happy with how everything is healing so far. He has another 2 weeks of being carried out from his pen to the toilet and then has another check up when hopefully he can start some physio / rehab stuff.
He is very comfortable on his leg, and is walking pretty normally on it. He hates being in the pen now he feels so good and has taken to whining / crying a lot when he's in there. We have been giving him regular cuddles on the sofa and on the bed with us but then we put him back in his pen and he looks at us so sadly with his beautiful eyes.."mummy and daddy, why are you keeping me in here? Why does Fergus get to play and I can't? etc etc!!!"
He loves when he gets to go outside for toilet breaks and since it's the only time he's walking outside the pen he leads us around on his lead for ages to find the absolute perfect spot to do his business!
His brother Fergus is pretty good about it all although is a bit jealous of the extra attention Cooper is getting and that he's getting carried around everywhere> Every now and then we pick up Fergus and carry him around the house so he doesn't feel too left out. Yep that's lots of dog carrying for me 22 weeks pregnant and my hubby with a bad back!
All in all things are going well but I can't wait till my little boy can have his freedom back...I pity the poor birds in the backyard he likes to chase!
