He has never jumped up on the back of the recliner again!

ROTFLMFO!!! Sounds like Tibbe's reaction to the stuff. It is sort of his kryptonite so he gives it wide berth.

Hee hee! Thank you all....yes, 6 weeks is one heck of a long time - poor Harry not being able to get to that tummy!!!

Will of course keep in mind tin foil (and maybe that bubble wrap stuff too?!!?), body armour, high-sided hospital beds (but please don't forget - Harry can open doors....he can jump that high!!!

)....will check with the hospital tomorrow if they have any ready-made solutions.

Thank ALL of you for your thoughts and brilliant ideas - I had to ask you all first, I KNEW you'd all come up with wonderful inventions!

Hey, Sally, why don't you just tell Harry "No"?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL - just kidding for anyone reading this who doesn't have a Yorkie!!!

Harrysmum · 01-16-2013, 02:40 PM

Well, I actually sat Harry down this morning and explained what was going to happen to his daddy....he listened very intently and it made his eyebrows dance....

Then I told him that "he won't be allowed to jump and scrummy up on him" and he actually laid on his back and waved his legs around in the air like he was in total submission

I FELT SO GUILTY!!!

Nasty, horrible mummy! Sally + Harry x

So sorry to hear about hubbys surgery, I think slimline pillows are going to be most comfortable, i can only imagine that Harry will try to tunnel his way under anything that doesn't fit like a glove.

I thought someone on YT could make something for you but remembered you are on my side of the pond. I will keep thinking.

I've had abdominal surgery and a dog jumping on a pillow placed over the new incision and healing surgical internal work will still hurt like the Dickens, I'm pretty sure! The pillow won't take any of the weight of the dog plus the force created by the landing, I don't think. I always wondered why medicine had never come up for something like Sally's hubby needs for all of the poor, post-op patients with dogs that jump. We've all badly needed some help in this arena!

I was thinking one of those longer body pillows. My Mom loved that after her hysterectomy surgery. You can get them at Wal Mart for around $10. She kept it draped over her lower abdomen and would set stuff on it so the weight of things did not hurt her. I wish you and your husband the best. I hope the surgery and recovery goes well.

navillusc · 01-16-2013, 06:31 PM

Sally, I am so sorry to hear about Andy! I hope everything goes okay. Six weeks is a long time for recovery, and to keep a frisky boy off his Daddy...

I don't know how to protect for that long, but I do think maybe one of those breakfast trays...to build a solid 'tent' over his mid-section. On a couch or chair, here we have these little tables you can scoot the base under the furniture and the little table covers your lap. Like has been mentioned, I use foil to protect stuff from the kitties, too.

Please give Andy my best for a easy time of it and a speedy recovery...and give Harry bunches of kisses...the HUGS are for you...you are going to have your hands full taming the York!

If I can be of any assistance, please just let me know.

Oh my word!!! How funny!!! How long did it take your 'busted gut' from laughing to heal...just curious...<kidding> Actually, it sounds like an Olympic event...

MandiesMom · 01-16-2013, 07:28 PM

You all have given me an idea of something to try to keep Mandie off things I don't want her on. Hmmm, never even thought of foil. Interesting.

Sally, I'm gonna have to go with a big ole box, cut out, and wrapped in foil.

OMY!!!
A boppy pillow would be great actually-just don't tell him it's actually for breast feeding lol!
