First full day home with Bogart. Tony had his schedule of when to give pills, feed, ice pack and heat pack. He had a lot on his plate along with taking care of a 19 month old. Glad I’m going to work! Of course I worried about Bogart all night since he had been bleeding the night before but when Tony went to get him out of his kennel he hopped right up and was wagging his tail. Bogart did a lot of lounging around today. I think Tony had a little melt down moment. Bogart has always loved to lay on the couch but he couldnt get up so Tony had to lift him up. It made his sad that he had to help him. The good news is that Bogart wants to get up just cant right now. I said we need to worry when he doesnt have the desire to get up on the couch. Oh and Tony finally got a kiss from Bogart. Im still waiting….
Grandma and Grandpa Oliver came over to see Bogart. Grandpa is having a hard time with this. And really so is Nico. She knows he has an ouchy and she really acts up when we are trying to help him. Its almost like we brought a new baby home and she is jealous. She is jealous of all the attention and toys that Bogart is getting. She wants to ride him so bad. We need to watch how we react to her. I’m afraid we respond loudly and quickly when she trying to play with Bogart more aggressively than she should. So Nico went home with Grandma and Grandpa so they were not so upset by being around Bogie. Bogart also got a get well card from Grandma and Grandpa Stewart!
I got home and Bogart was laying in the drive way soaking up the sun while Tony cleaned out the garage. He seemed to be doing pretty good. He has no desire to try stairs yet so we keep having to carry him in and out of the house. He got his pain patch removed tonight. He seems really down but I did see a little of the old Bogart. Nico and Bogart have a supper ritual. She ‘stashes’ her supper on the sides of her highchair so he can get them when she is done. He didnt finish his dinner but he was ready to get the ‘stash’!! I also got him a big comfy bed to lay on. He is so spoiled.
Bogart eating Nico’s ‘stash’ from supper. Check out Bogart’s shirt. This is his Tri-Pawd shirt i made for him.
The rest of the night we just chilled. When it was time for bed he made me a little nervous again. He had no desire to get up. Wouldn’t lift his head and would not get up. We had to lift him to his legs and then he walked but VERY slowly into his kennel. We even tried a treat to coerce him into his kennel. He didn’t care. Another moment when you doubt your decision.
Just chillin

Day 5 is still really early. Bogart probably didn’t want to get up and leave the comfy spot that he had chilling out with the family! He looks pretty contented on his new bed. And looking for food is a very good sign!

Love the shirt. So cute, that pic of him looking for his “stash”.
