Today Dudley got his last stitch removed. We're just ending week 2 of rehab and I have to admit we've caved. Weeks 1-3 of rehab were supposed to be only walking on a short leash and crate rest. Yeah, try telling a puppy crate rest. Plus there was some mix up in our instructions. When we brought Dudley home from surgery they encouraged us to walk him. But when we took him back to get his first set of stitches out they assumed Dudley had been on total crate rest. When they instructed us to work his walks up to going around the block and I responded with "he can already go around the block," we got in major trouble. Well there's no going back now. After walking all this time, it's silly to even attempt to put him on crate rest. So basically we've started with weeks 4-6 of rehab where he gets to be on a long leash and go for longer walks. He's doing fabulous! Dudley had one stitch from where they took the pin out and that stitch came out today. The doctors at our local vet though he looked great. They couldn't notice a limp at all. I do, but I'm with him all day every day so I notice everything, even when it's subtle. For example, he's resting right now because I noticed a subtle limp this morning so he must have done too much with Daddy last night. Daddy and Taffy were practicing agility in the driveway last night while I was out running. I bet Dudley got too excited while watching and jumped around a bit. So today we're resting. And some exciting news, Dudley is going to be a calendar boy! One of his baby pictures was selected to be on the Cardigan Welsh Corgi Society of Ireland's fund raising calendar. I'm beside myself! My baby, on a calendar and it's not even one that I made! :D
