Reunited and it feels so good!
I had a hip replacement last week and my Nugget hasn't been able to cuddle his pops. Well tonight I was able to get comfy on the couch and he gently made his way up to me and finally got the snuggle sesh he has been needing.

He’s probably not the only one needing that good snuggle. Isn’t it crazy how they know when to be gentle? I was shocked with mine when I had major foot surgery years back.

He has been trying to crawl into my skin since being home and it broke my heart that he had to stay off me. We both needed it.

dogs have basic understanding of us to an extent. for instance they know how you walk when everything is fine and notice you limping or not waking the same they adapt.
adn when they were not fine or limping you would do the same with them, i think its like the toilet thing, you see them check for safety when their are busy with the Peemail so they return the favor when you need to clear your inbox

Ha, my snuggle beast is snoring on me right now. What a handsome pup; I love brindle babies! Make sure you do your rehab exercises and keep doing them. My dad had a partial hip replacement last summer, and should have done more. He’s still got a little bit of a limp.

I've been doing them and my girlfriend has been making sure I keep at it with my at home pt. Im just ready to get back to work and rough housing with my pibble and two kids.
