Yesterday (Saturday) afternoon, the rain subsided, we had sunshine, and fairly strong winds, probably up around the 20 knots mark, for an hour or two, which gave some hope for exercise in the park.
Coco is in need of plenty of it, and our instructions were to keep his leg and paw dry, which is hard to do, when the rain keeps tumbling down.
Where we normally take him, for his run off leash, was out of the question, somewhat like a marsh, without much binding, so we decided on Blackwattle Bay Reserve, which weathers the weather better.
At the word “Park”, Coco was up, running in circles, tail going full pelt, never seen him so excited, must have been because he’d been cooped up for so long, What he didn’t know was that he’d be kept on his lead, and there’d be no running, or jumping, just a little bit of rolling.
Anyhow, he had a lovely time, when the next one will be, is in the lap of the Gods; the welcome rains are back with us today, and expected for the next 6.
On Wednesday the dressings, and stitches, were removed, the doctors were very pleased with their work, but poor Coco’s foot looks a mess as these photos will attest.
It won’t take that long for his fur to grow back and he’ll be as beautiful as ever. 😀

He’ll probably get over all this a lot faster than you will. But yes, that paw looks pretty weird at the moment.
I have a good idea what his reaction to “park” looks like. Annie reacts the same way to “walk.”
Happy to hear he’s doing so well!

I think he’s over it already Susan, always hungry, scrounging around looking for munchies.The Vets certainly did a good job.

Good to read that Coco is full of vim and ginger.
It must be all your caring ways.
Nothing like a park to run around in to bring out the very best in a dog, actually in any of us.

The fur on his belly looks like silk, I’d love to give him a good pat and belly rub.

“hey WO is it okay if Yvonne gives my belly a rub?’
