My New Harness

The latest in unwanted apparel
Hi all, the new boxer shorts have gone into retirement (so long as Lyndon continues to mind his manners). Sadly though, The torture cone and evil boxers have been replaced by the monster harness. Yes, the ruffwear harness is the new fashion trend of the week, and this one is here to stay for a while. Lyndon is adapting to it okay, but it’s obvious he doesn’t like it one little bit. The funny thing is that once he is fine on the stairs and doesn’t have to wear the harness any more, it will be time for him to don his sweater. I’ve never been one to dress my dogs up (except for Halloween for fun and really cold days for protection), but that trend is going out the window with all of Lyndon’s three-legged garb.
The good news is that Lyn is doing pretty good. He can go out potty on his own now, although I still have to stand by the back door to make sure he doesn’t sneak under the deck. He can go down any amount of stairs without any help, he can run around the back yard (albeit clumsily), and he’s back to eating his normal food.

The part that still isn’t so good is that he doesn’t have the confidence to go up even a few steps, and the few times he has tried my other dog, Scampers, barks and jumps at him and tries to knock him back down the stairs. Luckily the harness will help me to teach Lyndon how to go up the stairs, and leave one hand to fight off Scamp.
Well, we’ll see how this harness thing works. Till next time… TTFN.
