Jack doesn't whine, but every time he moves at night I wake up to check on him (probably more me than him). The bucket seems to keep him from getting any significant sleep (which is so far keeping the same from me as well). The color of his leg is gradually improving, the skin irritation from shaving is gone, and the bruising is evening out. This picture was taken last night before we went to bed. No photos yet today. At the morning constitutional he was a little more confident going outside (getting the hang of being on a leash and sling in his own yard), although seemed a bit more unstable on his legs when peeing. It's likely just me, but he seems to be getting more clearheaded this morning (at day 3 in jail, w/ 53 more to go, he is definitely going to get bored). And for the life of me I don't understand why animal meds are not MEAT FLAVORED; getting the mouth of a 100# dog who does NOT want his mouth open is loads of fun (yes, he now trusts no food to not have hidden poor tasting surprises - he's even completely chewing up his chicken to make sure). Oh did I ever mention, Jack has some seriously large and well honed teeth; thank God he trusts us (although at this rate, I'm not sure for how much longer).
