LOL. Thanks for asking - still happy over yesterday. Tibbe had a great day yesterday but I was nauseated all day so we didn't get to the vet, R/S for Monday. His vet called just before 6:00 pm and checked on us. Tibbe is eating like a pig again, chasing squirrels, bounding off the porch at 99% of his old speed and warting me to train and play with his toys with him. I finally did let him do 6 little jumps yesterday, two rollovers, the a couple of all his other tricks, a few Hi-5's and he didn't get nauseated afterward or anything - just teased and demanded we train some more but we didn't. Made him rest and he wasn't that happy with me. It's pretty hard to keep him down but he's finishing up his Metronidazole so I don't want him doing lots of activities. Plus, he just had that anesthesia and a needle in his spleen Wednesday so want to keep him dialed back through the weekend. He sleeps well, only scratches very, very occasionally where his tummy and part of his flank were shaved for the testing though it has never been reddened there or anything. All in all I don't think he could be doing any better! And he spends his days in the sunny den window watching all the activities in the back yard or in the living room window watching all the comings and goings there.
Thank goodness last night a cat came visiting and he barked for two hours off and on as the cat lolled around on the porch teasing him and came to the den frequently, hot fire in his eyes, to bark to me and tell me all about it and I had to go look of course each time. He had the time of his life watching and barking at that cat just on the other side of the glass, even clawing at the glass occasionally wanting to get out there. All that hardy barking sounded like music to my ears as it's all so normal Tibbe behavior.
