Re: A GOOD day ooh sounds lovely...enjoy, and that Choc Boy will return all pampered and partied out for a bit ;D
Re: A GOOD day I am having a good time - I'm curled up in front of a fire, with a view of the sea, reading "on talking terms with dogs" and keeping an eye on the forum, obviously. And I haven't even allowed myself ONE phone call to see how he is. They'll call me if there's a problem. (I bet I don't last the rest of the afternoon though!).
Re: A GOOD day Yes, just off to get my nails done! Wow, amazing how much more time you have without an injured puppy to look after. Normally, I'd have done 2 walks and a physio session by now, and argued with OH about whose fault it was that Charlie jumped on / ran after x, y, z...
Re: A GOOD day Bliss ;D I could do with some of that. Just off to walk the dogs in the pouring rain with a gale raging.....
Re: A GOOD day Got my hair done too That's enough though - I want Charlie back now. 48 hours is long enough without him. That's good, look forward to having him back tomorrow.
Re: A GOOD day [quote author=JulieT link=topic=4154.msg49131#msg49131 date=1390413508] And all clear and on track at weekly weigh in (28.6kg - but we won't fuss over the 100g gain), with muscle bulk definitely confirmed as being restored on his right hind (hope the 100g is muscle!) [/quote] Oh no! 29.4kgs today! The vet took a dim view. That'll be all the special treats we used over the last 10 days for conquering the common walk : : . We're in the dog house...poor Charlie...salmon strips are obviously out. Honestly, I know all about it's not the dog that has the tin opener (not that he gets tins) but I swear this dog piles on weight unless I'm weighing every last kibble... Must push on with my research on raw - lots to read, and not much time though.
Re: A GOOD day julie don't worry to much, when jasper was on short lead walks and rest, he had no extra treats and put 3 kilo on,......he is now back to full fitness and the extra weight as come off
Re: A GOOD day [quote author=lynnelogan link=topic=4154.msg51313#msg51313 date=1391195038] julie don't worry to much, when jasper was on short lead walks and rest, he had no extra treats and put 3 kilo on [/quote] Thanks Lynne, it's good to know we're not alone with the battle against the grams when on restricted exercise - and yes, I'm sure it'll be easier when not just on lead walks. Only Charlie has to stay thin before the surgery - we're under strict instructions from the surgeon. So we'll have to start counting out each bit of kibble again.
