Thanks for asking about Gilmore! He seems to feel great and the hard part is keeping him confined. I am forced to keep him in a small crate otherwise he will run back and forth and stand up constantly on his hind legs. Taking him out to potty in the snow was nuts because all he wanted to do was jump in it and even keeping him on a very short leash he still managed to do a little. We are ending week 6 of confinement and have 6 more as they want us to do a total of 12. He is kept on a leash all day unless he is in the crate. He cries and whines a lot unless he is on my lap or right next to me. We are in a routine but I wind up putting my chores and stuff on hold so I can keep him company. It has been tough as I am sure you well know. We are allowed to take 3 ten minute walks a day which he loves and fights because he never wants to come back into the house and I of course don't blame him. He was such a nutty life loving puppy and his world has changed in the last 6 weeks. I am just hoping he will be able to resume life as usual at the end of his confinement. Of course I will be a nervous wreck LOL. Poor Riley! I hope he is doing well. I can't imagine 2 surgeries. I would do whatever it takes for Gilmore as well but when his confinement is over I am going to throw us both a big party!!!!!! |
