Well, it's sunday AM, and it's been a few days.
The paw licking might have been from the turkey, since after we ran out (two feedings) he stopped the licking. Go figure, huh?
Yesterday we found a weird scab/wound on Mojo's neck. It might be a needle hole from the anesthesia? Who knows. There's also a red weal thing on his incision, so Monday we'll head into the vet and have them checked out.
In other news, Mojo's biting like crazy. It's driving us crazy trying to control it. We're not sure what the deal is, but we're trying to stop it.
Hmm. We got a block of extra sharp cheddar, and Mojo really loves it...more than the lamb sausage. We'll use 'em for treats if/when he goes to agility. We had him run all over the place, running through the tunnel & doing tricks, all for a few chunks of cheese.
We took Mojo to the park today for the first time since the operation. We sprinted back and forth a couple of times (and got totally winded...Mojo can outrun both of us, consistently). Then Mojo met a terrier, and they ran around for a few minutes. Fun!
When we went though the park (on the path), we let Mojo off-leash just to see. He had a leash attached, but we weren't holding it. He did pretty well, staying within range and coming (mostly) when called. Whenever he didn't pay attention, we'd just turn around & he'd run back to us :)
We're sort of confident about his off-leash ability, but I think if he saw something small & fast running away he'd chase it for sure. We'd have to run the other way, and it's unknown whether he'd come chase us or keep going...
