He, unfortunately, is getting accustomed to his condition. By that I mean that the 1st 24 hours when we set him down he just stood there like a lamppost, not knowing what to do with his entire leg bandaged up. He has quickly learned to walk AND RUN on 3 legs. If I kept him in the crate 24/7 it would not be a problem but I just can't do that to him. So whenever we are in the room, we let him out to stretch. Now we just have to keep a close eye on him so he does not aggravate the injury and allows the bones to heal.
The funny part of this is I swear he and Sasha are in cahoots to get that splint off. If I take my eye off them for one second Sasha starts to chew on the splint like it was a bully stick and he holds it out for her! I keep a bed under my desk at work for them. I can hear her chewing so I will quickly peek under the desk. They both stop moving, completely frozen, looking straight at me with a "Whaaaat? We weren't doin' nuthin'!" look. These 2 are a never ending sideshow!
