Doc's Mom
New member
Hi all:
I have read many threads on how to keep your newf busy after they have had surgery or just need to take it easy; but what about if it is me and in my case Doc is fine? I have to have surgery next Monday on my foot to remove a bone spur and to fuse my joints together because there is no cartilage left and when I walk it is rubbing bone to bone. I will be on crutches for 5 weeks and in 2 different casts. I am so worried about my dogs and how to keep them occupied since I won't be able to walk them. My son will be able to walk them, but there is a period of 10 days that he will not be home and it is only 5 days after my surgery. :uhoh2: My daughter will be home with me then to make sure they go out to potty and feed them, etc., but she can't walk them by herself.
I plan on using a lot of Kongs, and letting them run in the back dog pen, but I still feel bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
