I’ve been mostly staying in the house since my knee broke on March 1st. I sleep most of the day in my den. In the evenings, I get to spend time in the bigger room with my people. I chew on toys, watch TV, and sleep some more. I have to stay really quiet (=no trotting, jumping, and roughhousing), so that’s pretty much all I can do, especially with this giant cone around my head.
When I sleep, though, I dream about the trip we took up north two months ago. I dream about running in the snow and chasing a ball.
I also dream about that big dog, Sasha, I met during that trip. It was right before my injury. She taught me how to have fun with tree branches. I hope I will see her again soon when I’m better!
Aww…Kaiju – my people mom says you are such a cutie and it makes her sad your knee was hurt by the vet who dropped you. We can’t wait to see you running around again!! When do you get to break free?
Kaiju will be free of his cone in a few days. After that, he’ll have a long way to go with his rehabilitation. He really hasn’t done much for the last two months, physically, so he lost tons of muscles. Because the fracture was on his growth plate, his hind legs seem to be growing unevenly, also. He’s also very scared of a lot more things than before. We missed the period of important socialization opportunities during the past two months. Kaiju and we have a lot of work to do!
Your cheering means a lot to us. Thanks you very much!
