Hello :)
Been a while since I stopped in here to say hi. Hope everyone is happy and well. As for me, life is great. Just playing on Paradise Lost and enjoying the hubby and animals. Happy Fall and Halloween gang!

Re:
Hi Susa, same to you. Archie is adjusting well to it. I tell him he looks like a member of S.W.A.T.

How long does he have to wear it? Poor baby. It is amazing how fast they adjust to things.

Re:
He has to keep in on anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months. Just depends on how long it takes for the swelling to go down. Fortunately it's not tight at all. It's more for cushioning his elbows than anything else. Now that he is use to it we will take it off when he goes outside to play. He needs it when he's laying on the hard floors. He has two beds but he won't sleep in them, too hot.

Re: Hello :)
hmm ... What if you got some gel packs and cool them down in the refrigerator, then put them inside some type of pillow case, or underneath a cloth/blanket in the doggy bed? Kind of the opposite of a hot water bottle.

We thought about buying a cool bed but right now he never lays in the same place for more than a short time. I have put down rugs and padding and he ignores them. He loves his beds when he's playing with toys but not for sleeping. The pads on the brace work well and hopefully he won't need them too much longer.

Re: Hello :)
Yeah. Mom's dog won't sleep on her pillow, or in her dog houses. I can't figure out what she might like. I finally laid down an old ratted blanket on the bathroom floor. She'll lay on it every once in a while, but she just prefers the bare floor.

Re:
That is a great picture, Becky! I need to kiss his nose.
My Lily only wants to lay on bare floors. She likes the cold and that is what provides it. So are they waiting for Archie to get some more padding on him, or are they just waiting for the inflammation to go down to get his brace off?

Re:
Hi Brian, thanks. I'll try to be around a bit more now.
Susa, yep Archie is like Lily, he loves the cool floors. The hope is that as he gets older he will have more control over his muscles and not fall so hard when he lays down. Once the swelling goes away we will try and remove it to see how he does.
Today I have NO plans, so I am just going to veg and play online.

Re:
I am Brian thanks.. Oh and congratulations on your Runboard promotion. I tried to post it in that thread but I don't have permission to post there. So I'll do it here. A promotion well earned. At the risk of turning this into an Archie thead.. I can't help it, I love this big boy. 5 and 1/2 months 70+ pounds
