Anvik is doing fine. Acting like nothing ever happened! He was running and bouncing around the yard last night. He tried digging under the gate yesterday, but didn't make much progress. I'd rather he digs than climbs! The fence line is pretty much dig proof and the ground is frozen now. He's eating like I starved him for a week instead of one day! He has figured out that he can do all his usual stuff with the jacket on. The first night he wouldn't pee with it on and he wouldn't lay down. He's not bugging the incision.

He actually slept through the night last night without howling or wanting out at 4am. I could get used to not having to get up in the wee hours of the morning with him! The howling and 4am pee breaks have been constant since Anvik arrived.

He had a painkiller this morning, but I'm not sure he really needed it. The vet said to give him Meloxicam for four days. I don't want him to feel so good that he finds a way over the fence! It's 7 feet high in that pen, but Anvik is the best escape artist in the yard!

It's a lot FASTER, and cheaper, to purchase an item from a Canadian vendor,
rather than "import" a product to Canada from a USA vendor.

I order stuff from the States pretty frequently. It does cost more with customs, duty and the exchange rate. Some places charge crazy shipping rates to Canada too. I order Feliway from an American pet site since it's cheaper even with all that than the price my vet charges for it! I found the bite-not collar on the site I usually order from(entirelypets.com). They charge a flat rate of 20 bucks USD to ship to Canada. I'm going to call the place cyber_sibes posted too and see what their shipping rates are. Since Anvik is doing alright with the jacket, I'm not in a big rush to get it here. Might as well get one now though--I'll need it for somebody eventually!
