Please give that "walking him home" idea some more

All dogs react differently to the effects of surgical anesthesia
and the pain after-effects of the surgery itself...

He MAY be either still "groggy" or in some amount of "pain" or
discomfort even a day after the surgery!

I would *strongly* suggest that his Trip HOME be made
by "motor vehicle" and NOT Dawggie-Power!

Even 24 hours after the surgery, SOME dogs are still "groggy"
and just want to be left alone and allowed to sleep.

There's going to be some "stress" on ALL Three Pups when
they all realise the New Walkin Buddie Guy
is Comin IN OUR Howze!!!

*I* might suggest you pick him up and RIDE him home "alone"...

Then possibly "tie" him up to the car or a handy tree or fence -
OUTSIDE the house...
Then leash and bring Buddy & Tash OUT for a lil
"meet & greet" on more neutral territory.

THEN you can try walkin IN the howze and just say
"OMG! *Look* who just came *in* "with us", guyz!"

I agree with Phred. You don't want to deal with the possibility of
any medical problem caused by too much too soon.

Seeing as this procedure is being done through the shelter and how lacking they have been in understanding, I don't suppose there is any way to check up on Docker this afternoon. Good for you taking Thursday and Friday off. That will be so helpful in getting things off to the right start.
