Next halloween we can add a peg leg to make the costume better

Lyndon and I had a long talk last night before bed.  He agreed not to waned and whine the whole time and I agreed not to put on the cone.  We decided to try sleeping in my room again.  Well, true to his word Lyndon slept like a rock.  In fact at one point he was sleeping so well that I got a little nervous and woke him up to make sure he was alright.  I’m sure he was thinking, “Geesh, she’s never satisfied. I stay awake and she begs me to go to sleep, I go to sleep and she wakes me up!”  Luckily he is making up for it by sleeping most of the day.

"No not winter again! We hate winter!"

Another funny thing happened today.  I had to run a quick errand today, so I put the cone on him and set out a potty pad incase he had to go potty before I got back. When I returned, not only had pooped on the carpet, but he tore the potty pad to shreds just to spite me.  It was so funny that I couldn’t be mad at him.  It was like a big “F you” for leaving him with the cone on.

Lyndon told me that he was sick of me taking pictures of him (he hates the camera), so I decided to put some old pictures of him in the blog today.  Till tomorrow…

I'm gonna miss this view so much!

Well, I finally figured out what was making Lyndon such a panic attack at night… the stupid cone of shame!  I had only been putting it on him at night because that is the only time I am not watching him like a hawk.  I tried everything to get him to calm down last night, but he was running around absolutely frantic.  It really upset me.  So After trying everything I could, I figured I would rather just stay up all night and watch him than sleep while he was so upset.  I pulled of the cone and wallah… he stopped panicking, layed down and fell asleep (almost instantaneously).  So I took all of the cushions off of the couch and lined them up on the floor next to Lyndon’s doggie bed.  Hence, I was able to sleep a bit too with my hand on lyndon to make sure that he wasn’t bending back to lick.  So I think that is what we a re going to have to do till his stitches are removed.  Now that I know what is stressing him out there is no way I am going to put that cone on him for more than a few minutes while I go to the bathroom. 

Scampers and Fifi are behaving better now that I am allowing them in the family room with us.  That doesn’t mean that Scamp is above startling Lyndon up so he can lay in Lyn’s bed.  We are now having more of a problem with licking… I really really have to watch him now, he’s so sneaky.

Amputation isn't the most annoying thing mom's ever put me through!

My baby boy is doing pretty good.  His stamina is increasing, he’s sleeping more soundly and he is moving around better.  He still has a bit of a problem laying down.  He does this really cute thing now where he stomps his back leg four or five times in quick succession if he wants to lay down… I guess that’s his hint for me to help him down.  What a cutie!
