Chasing Charley

So I probably shouldn’t be quite *this* overjoyed at a “naughty” act…. I actually gave him a treat. 😉

It’s pretty wonderful to see Charley do some of the “old” things. He’s barking at people walking by out the window, sitting on the couch & chairs like he owns the place and now putting his front paw up on the counter to see what food we may have left behind.

I changed his bandage tonight with the help of a neighbor – things are looking better and better. Still some drainage and it’s not perfectly dry, but it’s a little better than yesterday and a little better than the day before.

One week post amp — I’m feeling like we’re going to make it!!!

   Isn’t it amazing how those previously naughty behaviors bring us such joy!! Sounds like you guys are on your way. Keep up the good healing, and the ‘naughty’ behaviors Charley.

   Alex and I are keeping an eye on you Charley. Great to hear your returning to “chaotic normalcy” as we call it. Twenty-four hours post op here, so we’re only experiencing the “chaotic” part…

   I know that feeling of joy when Catie resumed all her old habits! Barking out the window and counter-surfing.

   Yay Charley!!

   You and Charley WILL make it. We are so happy to hear Charley is up to his old tricks. It really does make you feel better when our loved ones act like their old selves again.
