The odds are there to beat

I was really, really hoping Spike's energy level would keep pace with his healing; but I admit I didn't really expect it.

Today he's climbed his first tree since the surgery, actually managed to pick up a stick (it was a bow-shaped one, and he spotted the opportunity to seize it by the raised part a split second before I saw the need to stop him) and grab hold of the leash in an attempt at leash tuggy. He dropped both leash and stick instantly and he hasn't bashed, bust or split anything - I checked very carefully.

still. holy shit. I really hoped he was going to stay chilled a little bit longer than this.

i'm trying really really really hard not to laugh.

it makes me think of how i tried to tether luce to a crate at night after her knee surgery in order to prevent her from jumping onto my bed, and how i woke up at some point in the middle of the night with her in my bed, having dragged the crate halfway across the room to get there.

you can't keep a good dog down!

Oh, Come ON Now.

Awwww. I know it's a pain in the ass but it makes me so happy to know that he's already working around his new face and getting the hang of things. He is unperturbed! GO SPIKE! Overcoming all obstacles like SUPERDOG! :)

1.) You go Spike. Just don't hurt yourself.

2.) My love for Leonard Cohen is epic. Not just for his craft with words and music but for the fact that I would do his seventy-six year old self in front of witnesses.
