Sunday, we moved Guinness's crate to the den on the main level. Now he goes outside through the front door with a ramp to bridge him safely over the three steps.
I asked the hydrotherapist if it would be OK for him to roam the den which is not large enough for him to run. She was shocked that he has been crated 24/7 until now. Well, that is what the doctor ordered. I assumed the hydrotherapist was familiar with this type of surgery and how careful you must be with the healing dog. I do have a call in to the surgeon to make sure it is OK now.
He definitely is enjoying his freedom and is remaining calm. The hardwood floor is littered with throw rugs to keep him from slipping. Tonight, I saw that he was cuddled up to a slipper he had stolen from Daddy's closet off the den. When I turned on the camera, he repositioned himself away from it. No worries; he will not harm the slipper other than to slime it. Daddy bought him that new bone last week, and he is enjoying gnawing on it!
Notice that his leg is turning brown again! The hair is growing in!
