They keep me guessing

End of week 2 post TPLO surgery for Bear and all is very well!

We did the 2 week follow-up by phone as it was just a check of the incision: clear, no bruising and no swelling and confirmation that he is using the leg for some weight bearing – which he is!

Additionally, I am not to support Bear with the Gingerlead, just be there with support if he slips.

All in all, the load is considerably lighter. We continue on with gradually longer walks every 2 weeks as long as no set backs and the next check up is at 8 weeks, the end of January.

Bear has been looking forlornly through the gate into the living room at his chairs. Now at 2 weeks and with him stronger, I decided to allow him to use the platform for access to his chairs. I got all carpet situated and cushy throws on the chairs…

Bear looked in shortly after I opened the room but didn’t enter.

Bob did, though!

They keep me guessing!
