we have made it!

Last week we reached the 16 weeks post op point. This is significant for TPLO dogs in that unless there have been difficulties dogs can now return to full activity.
Slowly of course but they can really start the return to normalcy.
Bugsy has been fortunate in that his recovery has been fairly smooth with a few scares and hiccups but nothing too extreme.
He has been building and building since the day he came home.
Yesterday and today he did 3 mile walk/runs and although tired is no worse for the wear. In fact he came home today and ran some zoomies post walk and continued to be silly inside including his very first leap off the stairs -GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It has been nice to not have to remind him to not do that but clearly we need to stay on him.
I think next week we will have our first short play date.
So all in all we are real close. Now to work on his confidence as he is lacking in it for the first time in his life.
Its always something
