I still don't think he's sleeping all that well, but maybe he is when I'm not able to see.  We had his follow up today to get the bandage off.  It actually looks better than I expected, having prepared myself by checking out post-op pics from other Pooches.  It's red, but not too swollen or bruised.  He won't let us ice it.  Vet said he was very encouraged, which I hope doesn't jinx us.  He was pleased with Dutch's attitude and the way he seems to be moving around.  We are trying to keep him quiet.  They put an e-collar on him, which he hates.  He just woke us all up yelping and I was frantic that he was in pain, but calmed right down when we got up to pet him.  Jim thought maybe he scared himself with the e-collar?  It is one of those flexible ones, which is good, except that it seems to fold over sometimes and you can tell he's not clear what to do with it.

At the vet's today we met a beautiful mastiff named Sydney; she was there to get her cast off from the biopsy.  Her pawrent said that amputation wasn't an option for her, due to her weight and health of what would be the other weight-bearing legs.  I referred her to this site and jumped up on my admittedly just-informed-enough-to-be-dangerous soapbox about commercial dogfood...maybe they can slow the cancer and give her some quality time by switching her diet.
