Leg's all healed, X-rays and exam give him a green light

Sorry for not posting for so long, things have been a bit hectic (not Jack related). We got back from the vet Thursday and Jack's tibia is all healed up. Yay!!!! Vet said to do short walks, 1.5 miles or so, for the next 3 weeks, then longer walks, longer lead for the 3 weeks after that, and then it's off-leash city! So with this news we moved back upstairs into the bedroom and will be turning the office back into an office. No really interesting news from the past 2 weeks or so, and sorry, no cool pictures. It's been fairly uneventful for Jack, just taking it day by day. Now he has full run of the house again, upstairs and down, only restriction is still being on leash to go out back to pee or poop. We're looking forward to him being able to come and go again as he wants, and to getting him back with his playgroups at WagginWagon. Of course the only downside is our beautiful back yard of newly recovered and healthy lawn will again become his playground, which pretty much means it's gonna be a great big beautiful mud pit... totally worth the trade off. :)

1 More Week Down

Well here we are, past the 4 week mark. Nothing too exciting to report at this stage. Jack's pretty much operating normally although still in jail. This morning during my routine exam of his leg I discovered a staple that was missed two weeks back, so we're off to the vet (the normal vet, not the surgeon) to have it removed. Overall Jack's at about 95% on his leg this week, ongoing incremental improvement. There's no disguising that he feels totally fine, and ready to be out doing what he wants, but he begrudgingly stays inside. Happily there's only 4 more weeks to go before his Xray follow up, and outside walks start. I can't tell you how ready we are for life to get fully back to normal (one of the biggest things will be moving back upstairs and sleeping in our new bed, and making the office an office again). Here's Jack's new side as of yesterday afternoon. X-26 days. :)
