Before I tell you how Rooney is today I have to answer a question that has been asked multiple times about the picture of Cassidy from yesterday. "Was Old Pooh posed for the picture with Cassidy by the window?" The answer is no. While Cassidy was sitting on the stairs or anywhere else in the house on Tuesday waiting for her brother to come back, she had one of his Poohs with her. Above you can see her with New Pooh on the back stairs. She put Old Pooh down as she was looking out the window and he happened to land as you see him. Cassidy doesn't get to hold any Poohs for long when Rooney is home. It was interesting to see her carry one around the entire time that Rooney was gone.
Rooney today is feeling a little better. He seems to be coming back a bit slower from this surgery than his first. He barely touches his paw to the ground and has more trouble walking. His appetite is good and he is drinking lots of water. He doesn't seem to be in much pain. Just very tentative with his leg so far.
Cassidy of course was really happy to see Rooney come home yesterday. She would not leave his side. Here you can see her in the family room with her brother. She didn't mind at all being locked up with him for the day.
The Girl came home today and Rooney was really excited to see her. He then proceeded to get a really long neck and head rub from the Girl. No wonder he likes her so much.
Rooney had his Physical Therapy sessions at home today working on his range of motion. His knee moves smoothly and he has a pretty good range of motion when forced. He just doesn't seem to want to do it himself yet. We'll see how he does over the next couple of days.
The Girl wouldn't let me post any pictures of his knee or any video of him limping around the yard. She says it is too sad to watch. As he gets better I'm sure we'll see more of him.
Now he is resting nicely in his locked down family room. I'll bet he's hoping the Treat Lady sleeps in there with him again tonight.
