Doggie ACL rehab day 5

it's been a really long weekend here. exhaustingly long. besides doubting everything i am doing in my life, dallas coming home again and reintroducing ourselves to one another and ez's surgery, whew. chalk one up for the mulligan (please!) category.

for the 1st 2 weeks after surgery (at least) we have to take ez out to the bathroom on leash, monitor pain pills, massage and do PT. this is def like in-patient rehab. he still isn't eating like he should or drinking and could really use a bath. anyway! i think last night we had a break-thru as we finally learned how to space his meds out so that he slept thru the night (minus one 3:00 am bathroom break!) totally a proud nursing moment on my part. (if anyone is ever bored and wants to hang out, please stop by our house around 2-3 am and we can walk the dog together in the front lawn.)

has anyone ever seen a dog sit like this!?!?
legs straight out.
weirdest thing ever
