I actually now only put the cone on him when I can't be with him. The soft cone makes it really easy to take off/on. He uses it like a pillow. We were having a stare off in the photo. He wanted to lie down in the soil and I wouldn't let him and was tempting him inside with breakfast. If it was colder I would use the Rory t shirt. Ours is brown and boring. I love Rory's. He is back in the bedroom again. He relaxes there and no big movements. Today has been much better and I had a huge power nap!

My pooh dance worked. I waited for his painkillers to kick in after breakfast et voila! 
Two bagger! We had a much better night. He actually walks on his back leg a little. Surgeon says it's OK but needs to rest. I think we are going in the right direction. Hot weather is not helping but the bedroom keeps him cool and relaxed. Feeling happier with his progress x

So glad that Hunter is starting to settle more and that he has had a poo woohoo 
Apologies for not being around much the last few days but had a few mishaps here!
I only used a cone if I couldn’t watch Harley and found that she settled better without it. Great news that he is weight bearing a bit
It’s really hot here too and Harley is struggling to cool down. Luckily her wound is healed so she can lie directly on the cool grass in the shade.

We are getting the stitches out on Friday. The surgeon wants to keep the cone on to stop infection
From experience he gets less problems if they keep the cone on longer with a TPLO operation. Hunter struggled to settle with the heat last night. Me too! @HAH I will try to sneak a power nap in later. I have to go back to work on Monday and a car service too so my son will be on charge on Monday..... Off to my parents next Saturday via Le Tunnel. Hopefully Hunter will be much improved by then as my OH will be in charge for a week. Onwards we go

Thanks for asking. Very restless at the moment. I think his stitches are itching and is driving me nuts. The hot humid weather does not help but luckily today it is slightly cooler His top stitches looked a little weepy last night but seemed OK this morning. Keeping an eye on them. He can't really settle today.
