Doobies recovery so far

Doobies been very restricted to what he is allowed to do.

He has to do ice therapy everyday.

Massage therapy.

And physical leg movements on his leg he got surgery on.

Honestly it’s so hard for him to do any of this. He gets super frustrated when we don’t allow him to do what he wants to do. All he wants to do is be back to his normal self but unfortunately due to the surgery we have to limit everything 😭 so far this play pin has been great for him and he does enjoy it but he does wish he could be closer to us all the time. When we do allow him out of his “castle” his sister Lucy has been very supportive with bringing him balls and giving him lots of kisses. #therapydog #Lemon8Diary #dogs #dogsoflemon8 #dogsurgery #dogrecovery
