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. 😂❤️

Vanilla Coconut Dr. Pepper acquired.


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.

Today was a bit rough.

Today was a bit rough.

The yard construction seemed to disturb Bear's rest, and he was super confused when we took him out to use the bathroom. Change isn't always easy for him. He's adaptable, but it takes him a bit to learn. He's pretty heavily drugged right now, so I can imagine how confused he must feel.

I shaved and wiped his butt today because he had poop stuck in his fur. He didn't enjoy that, but he allowed me to do it and seemed more comfortable after.

He FINALLY peed and pooped for us today, just a few minutes ago. His regular potty spot is all messed up. Everything looks and smells different. The timing of the work in the yard is not ideal with Bear being drugged and recovering from surgery. We planned it to not go like this, but in the end it wasn't up to us. We are just going to do the best we can.

Other than that, he's eating and drinking. He's getting around pretty well on his potty trips. We're supporting him with his sling and that's going ok. Unfortunately, the yard is going to be in a constant state of change for the next few weeks, but hopefully tomorrow will be better.

This is how our day is going.

This is how our day is going.

Bear has drank, but not really eaten much. He's supposed to be on bed rest, but every time we try to walk him for potty purposes he thinks he's supposed to get a real walk, so he hasn't peed or pooped yet today. He wants to wander. I'm sure the yard construction is spurring his curiosity and not helping him rest.

He's not sleeping as much, and he's grumbling. He's not having a great day, I don't think. Poor buddy. 🙁


Someone's looking a bit brighter this morning. ❤️
