So with over a week's worth of recovery time, our Kodi Bear is doing great. We have him set up well in the office... or his "rehab room", with his own water bowl, food bowl, new bed, and even a little space heater for the cold evenings. He has to stay in this environment until we get him back to the vet for a check up. The doctor wanted us to keep him in close quarters for at least a 10 day period. So that means, away from Dexter, and away from us.
The hardest part about it all, so far, has been trying to make sure that Kodi does not feel totally left out. We can hear him whining at times when we're in the living room watching TV or talking together. Therefore to combat that, Kelly and I do our best to spend 15 minutes here, 30 minutes there alone with Kodi to love on him and remind him that he's still our first born.
So here are a few photos of our baby, and his rehab pad:
Below is a shot of Kodi's back left leg where the incision occurred for his ACL surgery.
Thanks again for all the sweet wishes so far, folks. Kodi loves all the loving. So feel free (for those in town) to come by and give Kodi some hugs and kisses along the way.

Kodi looks naked, all shaved and such. Keep him inside where it's warm or he'll freeze. LOL. He really looks good though for what he went through.
He's got a nasty scar but when the fur comes back you'll never see it I imagine. Give him a big hug for me.

Hey, My parents Lab has had both of his legs done years ago and he is running around like nothing ever happened. So I am sure your little one will be great in time. It sucks when your loved one is in pain and there is nothing we feel we can do for them. Especially pets...
Take Care

Which Jordan is this? We know about 4.
