Today Mick has now returned home! It was so good to see him walking (albeit slowly) from the vet to the car. He was so cute and adorable. The vet who walked him out couldn’t praise him enough on how well he did.

Got home, and one of the first things we did is let him do his business, and was it worth it! He felt so relieved to pee. It could’ve been the excitement of him being home too. He ate some food, treats, and drank some water.

The family room is where he’ll be kinda “living” while he recovers for 2 weeks, and have things moved around to give him space to walk. Just need to add the yoga mats we got to make sure he doesn’t slip.

Around lunch time, he kept giving me a look of needing to go out, so I took him out back, where there’s a deck and some steps, and he handled the 3 steps no problem, and peed another gallon! This guy is definitely a trooper. He usually drinks water like a fish, and with the cone on, it’s hard to reach the bowls, so I temporarily took it off and noticed he was starting to understand he’s a tripawd and was positioning his legs to give him the best balance!

He’s now sleeping on a very comfy bed with my foot resting on his front right paw to know I’m here for him.

It’s going to be an interesting 2 weeks of him being a lampshade with 3 legs, but I’m so happy he’s home.
