Might Be Less Active In The Coming Weeks.

Sounds like a labour of love good luck Brandmeister

Wishing Tucker and You all the best. I'm sure he'll get plenty of care and love. Forget about CCF and take care of your pup.

Hope things improve quickly, Tucker and you will be in my prayers.

best wishes to doggie for minimal discomfort and speedy recovery! geez, the people I work for on washington street have a small doggie that blew out one of his knees recently.

Thanks, guys!

After yesterday's trials, I ended up sleeping on the floor with my buddy about halfway through the night. It has been a much better morning. We went outside twice, Tucker ate a bunch of plain chicken and drank water. He has been sleeping between my feet since about 8 a.m.. I am relieved that he has an appetite, because I can give him medications.

I snapped a few coin pics when I got more coffee, so maybe some limited participation will still be possible.

Really appreciate the kind thoughts. =)

All the best to you and Tucker, and I hope that he recovers well and is back to his self soon.

Thanks! =)

He is doing really well. We haven't used the lifting sling since the first day. We haven't had any major setbacks, although we did have a scare involving a foul smell on the second day. Turns out it was the antiseptic that they apply after shaving the leg. Tucker is even putting some weight on the leg and taking a few steps. The wound looks great.

My only challenge so far is that he figured out how to defeat the neck donut. So I've had to put him in the cone at night to sleep. The cone really upsets him, so I have spent the last three nights sleeping in his enclosure with him. Not very exciting sleeping on the floor, but that won't last forever.

The new emerging challenge is that he is bored. Tucker wants badly to play tug of war or chase games. He even tried to force his way past the baby gate to run up the stairs to the second floor (stairs are a big no-no right now). I have used quite a supply of zip ties to make gates all over the house.

I received some pretty neat coins in the mail. I will eventually get back to my coin desk, but it might be a while.

Glad to hear he is doing well. I hope Tucker keeps healing and that you eventually get to sleep in a bed instead of a dog enclosure..
