This is the unapologetic face of the pup who got up and took off, got his waist strap and leash put on, then walked Shaun in about 9 consecutive circles in the kitchen. 😂😂😂

We're trying to bribe him to lay down with a chew, but it's not going well. He had a good, long nap earlier and he's ready to GO now.

Wish us luck these next few weeks. We're going to need it.

Bear has been more himself today, for better or worse.

He's gotten up and run on us a couple of times. 😬 His butt is so round and his front half is so strong that we would think he's just adjusting his position to sit up, but then he'd be up and on the move. I'm glad he's feeling better, but he's not supposed to be walking without the support strap in case he falls - which thankfully hasn't happened.

When he got up to go out this morning he was messing with the leashes hanging on the shoe rack he likes to pull over. 😂 When he went out this afternoon, he found a tree root he really wanted, but couldn't get it because it was long and he is wearing his cone. Shaun broke a piece off for him to carry around. He also made it known a couple of times that he definitely wanted to sunbathe, so we did that, too.

I'm glad he's feeling better, but my gosh, he's only a few days out of surgery and he's trying to live his best life. I'm grateful that he's gonna have a sedative for the next few weeks to help keep him chill because unless he is sleeping, chill is not something he has. 😂

Photo of him refusing to walk on the grass area that's left and instead trekking through the mess that is currently our yard. He's gotta do his patrols and get the new lay of the land.

Little plant photo dump. I'm pretty happy with how everyone is doing.

I love the color of these blooms...

And the shape of these.

I really love the colors on this one.

My ice plant is thirsty. I'll water tomorrow. But look at how tight the new growth at the top is!

The tight, dark new growth on this one pleases me, as well.

The TEXTURE. 😍

My Aloe is blushing and putting off pups.

This agave is making babies, too.

Cub was chilling with me yesterday and I asked him if he was a baby dog. This is his face right after. I don't know why, but I feel like it made him smile. He definitely ate that up. ❤️

Look at his socks. 😂❤️

The work day is almost over and I am grateful.

The work day is almost over and I am grateful. I feel like I should have just taken today off. It hasn't even been hectic; I've just had a minor headache I can't shake all day.

We were woken up to heavy equipment use in the yard. We were told the guys probably wouldn't be working today. 😂

I think I'm stressed about Bear. He's doing fine. No signs of infection. He's getting around with our help. I don't love how infrequently he uses the bathroom, but I know it's hard on him. I just feel like I'm gonna break him or hurt him and I hate that.

I'm just over here in my feelings. 😂

I might have to have a drink today. Coconut Dr. Pepper sounds nice.
