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 wondering now about the feasibility of Really Huge beachball-type balls that could be batted about a field with the cone. I'm obviously going to have to find some kind of non-face-impacting play.
...can I borrow a goat or three?

Like these, but huge. (http://www.southan.co.uk/8-coloured-plastic-football-5705-0.html)
I don't think I could stand there holding two dogs and inflate a ball from scratch, not with Spike going mental and Squish possibly terrified (he's not keen on large balls for some reason.)
I'm thinking I may need my mum to help me make this workable. She could walk Squish while I play with Spike. or something.
