lyndon baines

Well last night was even less pleasant than the night before.  This time not only did I get no sleep, but Lyndon didn’t get any either.  He has finally started to take an interest in his incision, which meant that I had to put the cone of shame on last night.  He was upset about the cone and anxiuos  because of the pills and restless because of having to go potty every hour.  Poor baby. 

The good news is that his stamina is increasing a bit.  He has been wandering almost constantly and every time I lay him down he gets right back up again.  Stubborn little rat is still refusing to eat anything other than ground turkey, so I’ve been really careful about taking him outside to avoid a nasty accident.  Lyndon has really gotten the hang of postitioning himself for potty time, and he hops from one plant to the next trying to find that ultimate perfect spot.

Lyndon and Scampers three years ago

My other dogs, Scampers and Fifi, are still quite the problem.  Scampers has spent all morning crying and howling.  Finally I brought Scampers down into the family room with Lyndon and I.  Scamp could have given a crap about Lyndon, he didn’t even look at him.  Scamp went straight to Lyndon’s food dish and started eating.  Later on Scampers went over to Lyndon in his bed and barked in his ear.  Lyndon jumped up and Scampers curled up in Lyndon’s bed… I was so mad at him.  Scampy has calmed down now, he’s laying next to me on the couch. 

I have to really watch Lyndon now because of his interest in the scar.  He’s a bit redder and a bit more swollen today.  Everything else is going pretty well, though.  Here’s to getting a little sleep tonight (for us both).
