I say absolutely get him out and about and a bit 'wore' out. As a rule, animals rebound and heal much more quickly than we! I think he's letting you know that he's feelin' good and ready to go and if he gets regular, fast-paced walks (or other energy outlet) , I'll bet he quits the incessant barking. Now you need to relax, know you've been a great "nurse" and let things get back to "normal" (is there such a thing for our little ones?!). You gotta take care of you so you're there to take care of them, right?! Ever wonder where you'd end up if you took your dog for a walk and never once pulled back on the leash? ~Robert Brault |
