Thanks everyone!  Yes, I have been doing a lot of holding snickers.  I;ve been hooking him to a short leash & putting my sofa cushions on the floor & laying with him.  The leash has been necessary, as he feels better & without it, he won't take time to cuddle & just wants to run & play.  
 
With his e-collar, he has a hard time chewing on his chew toys...Last night I held a greeny for him for an hour so he could knaw away.     
My daughter is now 10, but I don't remember spoiling her half as bad as Snickers

  But then again, she didn't have any broken bones as an infant!
