things are really moving forward now!

Its been a big week for Bugsy boy.
We decided it was time to have him upstairs with us in the evening which he was joyful about, really joyful. And so were we! It is wonderful to have him with us at night again.
He goes up the stairs quite easily but down feels precarious, must be careful and slow!

He continues to make excellent progress at rehab and seems to enjoy it. At least he really, really wants to go there. I never get the idea that he loves the tank but what do I know?

In other updates he is moving very well. I swear this morning you wouldn't have been able to tell he had surgery. Boggles the mind, mine anyway :-)

We have been doing clicker training every day to occupy his mind which is lots of fun. He loves a bit of training and is very enthusiastic.
Um yea I know he is fairly enthusiastic about everything!

We tried some boots but first go wasn't very good. We'll try some more but then we'll have to decided whether we would use them or not. It was hysterical to watch him try and figure out what was going on LOL Wish I could video it!

Also we had a near 'oops' when his buddy Carl happened to be in the cul de sac when we went out for a walk. It was quite funny in that Bugsy started whining and Carl laid down waiting for his buddy to arrive. I had to shout to Carl's owner that we couldn't play due to surgery. Then I tried to move beastie to the back yard and she tried to move Carl from the cul de sac but he had laid down and wouldn't get up.
Funny and sad all at the same time.

Lastly we are going for short walks around the yard a few times a day now. He is thrilled to be out and about and it is good to see him doing what he is meant to do - patrol and sniff.
"I iz back", I can hear him shout to the squirrels and birds, "just you wait!"
