Brinkley's Back... (back to driving me crazy!)

[Heather & Brinkley]

So as most of you know Brinkley had quite the scare last week.  Saturday we went for our second hospital visit where the gave him lots of fluids and gave us some extra medication.  Well, he's certainly feeling MUCH better... and now I can't keep him still.  I know he's felling better... but I also know that it's only been two days since we were at the hospital and I don't want him pushing it.  He's always been an active dog that enjoyed running... and running... and running (with some fetch thrown in).  But I also know that we need to work back up to that because his little body has been sleeping and fighting for a week straight.  What a difference a couple days make because now I'm fighting to keep him chilled and relaxed. My frustrated dog is unleashing his inner puppy from within...He was never a huge chewer as a puppy but it's like he's channeling the puppyhood chewing stage that he never experienced.  I just found him with a scotch tape dispenser in his mouth.  Thank goodness he hadn't chomped down (ugh! and yikes!) And then I found him with a newspapper in his mouth (with the plastic wrap still on it!!)

Keep in mind, I have NOOOO idea where he found either... because I'm a stress cleaner.  I've been under so much stress that my house is spotless.  

I'm so glad that he's home and feeling better... but if he keeps this up, he won't be healthy for long.  Both of those could have landed him right back in the emergency room.  

We played ball in the hallway and nows he's sleeping.  Phew.

Lol! Well at least he is feeling better! Parker has started getting a little destructive lately too and that isn't normal for him!

Glad to hear he's feeling better...

Thanks everyone! I kept him chilled with a few fetch sessions thrown in until today.  He just woke up ready to GO! So I picked up Brinkley's buddy as my friend's house and took them to the park where they ran and ran.  I didn't let him push it but he needed it!  He's home and not as tired as I anticipated.  Glad he's feeling better!
