Oh, the red weal-like thing on his incision is gone. It was an infection! His last pill will be tonight.
I tried a new game with him today. We have a lot of cheese, obviously, and a lot of it is sliced up into tiny treat-sized cubes. They're mainly for agility training, because he doesn't have to chew them.
The game is basically standing there and throwing small cubes of cheese around the apartment, and watching Mojo fetch them. It's not much of a game, I know, but what can you do?
It's interesting, because Mojo really uses his ears and eyes first. He hears the impact of the cheese then looks in the area to see it bouncing around. If he can't see it, then he'll go and sniff.
The problem is that if he doesn't see anything, he doesn't know where to start sniffing around. When he starts sniffing I'm trying to guide him, but I'm not sure what to say, and I'm not sure if he knows why I'm talking.
Some of his toys smell really terrible now. Weeks of dog saliva are taking their toll on the stuffed animals. I guess I'll have to figure out how to wash them soon.
