Koda is practically back to his normal self. He is really getting tired of being corralled. More and more, we are seeing him poke his head over the lower pieces of furniture, whining and wimpering. It's only a matter of time before he tries to test his boundaries and climb over a bench or an ottoman. And he has that calculating, mischeivous look in his eyes now, too. At least this all means he's feeling better!
Out in the yard, he is putting his Bionic Leg down now. Not really stepping with it, but setting it down for balance. He is still hopping along (really well) on three legs, but places the 4th foot down when he is just standing. We have touchdown!
Yes, not quite a full paw plant on the ground, but
"toe-touching" - as they call it. He's putting a couple of his toes down.
The stitches are closing up nicely and some of
the ugly red blotches are fading. His
ankle is still purple with a bit of fluid making it puffy. But I can tell the fluid is decreasing and the bruised extremity is starting to resemble his ankle more.
Every day he seems to be in better spirits. I'm happy to see him relaxing and acting more like his pre-surgery doggie self. Silly dog! (He wants me to rub his tummy.)
