Day 4 Post-op, Its been a good day!!

on my bed.

Day 4 started with us waking, and finding Fenway on his bed!
Yes, sometime during the night, he decided he was no longer comfortable on the carpet, and the thin bed, so he opted to get onto his regular bed.
I came down, turned on the lights, and there he was, standing up, tail wagging, and smiling.  (pretty sure he was very proud of himself)  🙂

Apparently, he likes the cushy bed better.
After breakfast, and a short walk, we returned him to his room for some rest.

Then we did it….We left him alone.  An appointment we had made weeks ago, had to be kept, so off we went.   OMG what were we thinking??!!

I was very worried, and as soon as we were done, David returned home, to find him once again, on his bed.   (I returned to work today, so I wasnt there to find him snoozing strecthed out and snoring).

He snoozed quite a bit today, but when outside, he  was a superstar. Hopping all the way up to the front yard again, where he took in all kinds of sights, sounds, and smells.  Even offering a few warning barks, just in case there were intruders ( afterall, those pesky squirrells are going buck wild without his hourly patrols),  entering the property, uninvited.

As I type this, Fenway is asleep, and his protector Macy is right next to him…

I take it back, it’s been a GREAT day.

We will check back in tomorrow.

Have a wonderful evening.

  1. Sounds like Fenway is doing just fine. Sleep is the best thing for him.

    Leaving them alone for the first time is scary but usually nothing to worry about (but so hard to tell ourselves that!). They do a lot of sleeping as they heal.

    Hopefully the recovery continues to go well.

  2. I agree Karen,
    And I have been leaving him alone, in his “recovery room” to rest.

    We find if we stay close by, he reacts to our every move, and gets little rest.

    Have a great Sunday.
