Well it’s been a long morning, but my baby boy is home and resting peacefully! Meekah has yet to leave his side, she is such a good sister!! It was definitely a lot harder seeing him for the first time than I had thought..I tried to prepare myself with research photos and videos, but I guess there’s no preparing yourself for these things. It was really rough at first, and very difficult for him to walk at all, but now he’s settling in and starting to learn that he’s gotta do things a little differently now with the help of the slings until he can walk alone. At first he was basically hitting his face on floor everytime he walked, but he’s realizing to lean on us and the slings to help him. Is this normal? To those of you with Rotties and other big breeds – when your tripawds first came home was it very slow going and tough to get around at all even with help?? I worry that it’s going to be really hard for him because of his displaysia..any help??!? suggestions?? it kills me because it makes me question our choice. I assume you’ve all gone through these emotions and struggles to??
He also wouldn’t pee at first, I think he Disnt want us to have to help him – too proud! But when he finally peed it was 10 minutes! haha. He is also very excited to be home with his toys, and has even played ball a few times while laying down! And I know our road will be slow, and long, but seeing that his personality is still him is a very big help for me moving forward! Well be spending the next two days cuddled in the living room and loving on our baby boy!!!
