JustJust catching up on the very handsome Mr Barksters! What a sweet face! Love him!!!
And he stays right on the rugs for traction
! Smart boy!
Lyeah, some dogs pretty much lay in tneir incision side within a day or so...some longer. My Happy Hannah took five weeks before she lay on it comfortabley! So Barkley is ahead kf the game!
Let's see, just had MAJOR surgery, trying to adjust to three legs, and a ....er..."mature" doggy...yeah, Mr Barksters is doing great!!!
A d so are you!! This early part of recovery is no picnic, that's for sure. Hopefully you can catch up on your sleep soon!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Awe what a sweetie! Such a soft loving face he's got. Looks like he's doing wonderfully. This video sure does point out how critical traction is for tripawds. I love how careful he is to be sure to stay on the covered areas. Give yourself a huge pat on the back for doing a wonderful job with that beautiful boy!
WOW !!!
Well done boy, well done 
Amazing for somebody who had major surgery only 48 h before !!!
You've got a real fighter there !
Much love and cuddles flying your way
