We're actually doing pretty well at it so far... Of course, he just finished his 'major' pain pills Sunday, so he's been a little drugged so far. He just hangs out in the living room on a pile of dog beds, blankets and pillows. He's always been a good sleeper and a major cuddler so he's been pretty good. We keep a leash on him at all times and crate him (w/ an E collar) if we leave. He's started to want to play with his leash though.. he'll paw at it and carry it around in his mouth. Like he's walking himself. J is home most of the time, as she was laid of in Dec... so that actually works out well. He has left the incisions alone since day one, so we are comfortable with keeping him out of the E collar while he's supervised. Hardest part really is keeping Treo from jumping on him. She's such a wild child.. always running around like a nut.

Here's some pictures of his Xrays from after the surgery. Kind of interesting to see how they do the surgery. New Xrays will be done on Feb 4th (4 weeks Post OP). I'll have to work on a new picture of him, as I took some the other night, they looked ok on the camera's little screen, and then I opened them on the computer and they looked AWFUL! Staples came out fine yesterday, Vet says he looks good. Minor swelling, but its not an issue. Says he's doing good, as he's 'toe touching' while just standing around, which is good for this early.
