Month: May 2020

Oakley had good day. He got to spend a little time outside and has jumped on the couch on his own a few times (which is only slight nerve racking). He still requires a lot of supervision, but is becoming more and more sufficient at getting himself around. He seems to want to be moving around and getting up to follow us a little more often and we are trying to make sure he gets plenty of rest. We really appreciate all the happy thoughts and prayers. ❤️

 

Someone enjoyed hanging out on the deck while I did some yard work today…

Well all I can say is we’ve had a pretty amazing two days and are now four days out since Oakley became a tripawd…

Oakley seems to be getting a good handle on what his new life looks like.  A typical day has started with us carrying him downstairs for breakfast and then outside for a bit. He then has discovered he can still jump up onto the couch and settles into his favorite spot to spend the day.  Last night he slept soundly in bed with us ALL NIGHT without a peep which was great for him but even better for us hoomans.

He shows no pain and has really been doing great resting and recovering.  The surgical site looks amazing with minimal bruising and no noticeable concerns.  The more we have allowed him to do things that resemble his normal daily routine, the happier he seems.

I spoke to PVSEC and we are currently scheduled for a surgery follow-up on Monday May 11th and an oncology and possible first chemotherapy appointment on Thursday May 14th.

I’ll leave you all with this cute photo from yesterday… Oakley was so happy to be outside for a bit that he decided to lie down in the yard and enjoy the sunshine for a bit. 🐶
