Bear and I are just back from the vet. Bear had his 8 week x-ray and the 2nd TPLO is completely healed. Dr. Clark said it was “textbook perfect”. Happy Dance!!!

Bear was sedated for the xray as is the protocol at The Animal Clinic for TPLO 8 week check, so he is still a bit sleepy but glad to be home.

We will gradually add some running and jumping and muscle building exercise over the next weeks but for Bear, things are nearly normal.

***I took the photo before we went to the vet. He hasn’t done the “backward downward dog” thing for a long time. It looks even funnier in the chair but I’m happy to see him doing things he used to do. There is no more stiffness in his back end when he gets up from a nap or lying on the ground. All movement looks good and comfortable and I believe he has full range of motion in both knee joints. Hoo – rah!

***I rescheduled Bob’s ear re-check for Monday at the last minute. Got to thinking that it might be a bit much with both.

Friday night, nearly normal…time for pizza!
