19 days after surgery
Walks
Today Milo had his longest walk since the surgery. We walked to Riverside Park and then to Starbucks and then back to the apartment. I guess that would be about 24 blocks. He was exhausted!
He seems very happy. He is picking up branches along the way. He pulled us towards the dog park, but we had to say no because 1) it was kind of late already to be inside the park, and 2) he would be so tired by the time we get there that he would just have to lie down.
We might end up driving him there so that he keeps his energy for the park.
Balance
It seems to be getting easier for Milo to pee on 2 legs, although sometimes he needs to interrupt it to avoid falling. Other than that, he has not lost his balance or fallen today.
It is easier for him to hold his balance when he lifts his left hind leg, so he has support in the front with the left leg and in the back with the right leg. I hope he is making a note of that.
Barking
No concerns here. Milo is barking again. Milo does not bark too much in general. Not even when someone knocks on the door. He only barks when he is happy, excited, or wants food.
