You have my sympathy, The only problem I think, is lack of exercise. He doesnt understand about the cut and stiches, he's starting to feel better and wants to resume his exercise routine. I have a feeling you're going to have problems whatever you do until he is able to get back to a normal routine. Do all you can to stop him getting bored. I agree with melissakins, huge bones will keep him occupied and immobile.

Kali only does the bear rug attack if your walking by her or are trying to brush her while she's in hyper mode.  Our main problem with the not moving is she loves laying right in front of the kitchen door so you can't get in the house.  If your lucky you can throw your shoulder into the door to get it open enough to squeeze in but sometimes you have to get TD treats...which luckily are kept in the breezeway.

Tealk had elbow surgery. He wants to jump all the time. It's almost impossible to keep him calm. Even when you put him in his crate he jumps up and down like Tigger. It is driving me crazy and it has only been 1 week. He is supposed to be calm for 3 weeks. I think we need some of that calming stuff.

Hey K9ldy00!, I've been wondering how Tealk is doing, you're a member of the getting-grey-hairs-fast club too, eh? Glad to hear that he is feeling up to being bouncy, sorry to hear your faced with the same thing we are keeping the crazy boy calm :)
Did the vet say if it was ocd of fcp in his elbow?

It was a fragmented MCP in the elbow. In three weeks they want to do a TPO surgery on the right hip. The left hip already has arthritis, so they can't do a TPO on it. They were talking complete hip replacement on the left. I'm just taking it one step at a time. I have no insurance on him so it's credit card time.
Tealk thinks there is nothing wrong with him. He can't understand why he can't play with the other doggies. He just thinks I'm the mean Mommy. ::)

I know you can get it at Petco or Petsmart. Let us know how it works.
