Last night a group of girl friends came over as a belated birthday celebration but as it was also officially ‘Freedom Day’ for Lloris from crate rest, it was a bit of a joint party.
Lloris decided to mark ‘Freedom Day’ by deciding to take himself down the stairs (WHAT!?!!) to greet everyone. Not just once but three times! Each time giving me one of the ‘stunned me to silence moments’, when you can’t get there quick enough to stop him and you‘re almost closing your eyes with your fingers crossed!
Up until now he has shown absolutely no interest in tackling the stairs at all, he has just been waiting at the top for me to carry him down.
Thankfully he was still happy to wait at the bottom to be carried back up each time though!
Cheeky little pooch he shall do himself an injury!
I think he must have been paying attention yesterday when I asked the physio if climbing up and down stairs would ever be an option for him in the future and the response was;
“The idea of surgery in these cases is to try to return them to exactly how they were before, so stairs a couple of times a day in a controlled way, i.e: not racing up and down, would be fine.”
I just wasn’t ready for this to be so soon! Think I shall get that stair gate put up to restrict him for a little longer.
I would like to say he was a good boy at the party and he was very cute and adorable and of course everyone loved him BUT;
My friend Lotty came early with some decorations to put up. Out comes the bunting and we are just working out it’s positioning. As we lay it on the floor for literally seconds whilst I grab some tape, Lloris jumps on it and piddles all over it. Guess decorations are over rated then!
He then manages to dribble pee over his Aunty Mirelle as she carries him up the stairs.
We then have squealing and peeing going on in his pen as everyone is arriving.
Once he’s over the excitement of seeing everyone, he spends the majority of the night being cute, sat on my lap for cuddles watching everyone chatter and he’s snoozing away; sending my legs numb! He is certainly not a lap dog!
He finished the night in disgrace by wolfing down some left over chicken and repaying me with a puddle of pea on the kitchen floor.
It was like we have gone back a week on the incontinence! I should however be grateful no no.2’s made an appearance whilst we were tucking into the birthday cake!
Now for today. It’s wet and miserable out. Against my better judgement, we’ve had breakfast inside this morning followed by peeing on the kitchen floor. So today is definitely also NOT an accident free day.
I decide to try out his balloon sock around the house to see if he can actually walk in it. After I WWF wrestling him to the floor I finally get the thing on him!
And he’s away! We shall test it outside tomorrow!
Tomorrow we have a busy day lined up making a start on all of the new exercises he has been given. Fingers crossed he behaves for them!
Ps: Lloris is a star! Following our visit to the pub on Sunday he’s made their ‘Show Reel’ I always thought he had the face and personality for the movies! Maybe I need to think about getting him an agent
