Of course like always it's been a crazy hectic week. This whole working 7 days a week is killing me, which is why I'm home from my weekend job today because I'm sick. For the second time in 2 weeks. Even though it's been crazy, it's been a pretty good 2 weeks.
The Chair and the Dean of my school in NY came out to California and stopped by the school where I'm student teaching and observed me teach for a little bit. They said that I've "done them proud" which is probably the most wonderful compliment I've ever received. I got home that day and Jack, like clockwork, wiggled and squirmed with excitement of my being home.
This second week of Jack's recovery Brian thought it would be a good idea to bring Rusty over to keep Jack company. So, Rusty was with us for a whole week, and at first I thought he was depressed because he was here for more than an overnight visit, but he really loved it! Jack and Rusty snuggled and napped together and when it was finally time for Rusty to go back to my in-laws he was so sad!

Today we went to Surgical Group for Animals and saw Dr Jenkins, Jack's surgeon, as well as Jack's other buddies Frank and Rick. Jack got his staples out and now, we are free to run and jump and swim, (although it's a little cold for that now.)
Even though we were told he shouldn't have been running until he got his staples out, here's a video of Jack not listening to doctors orders about a week and a half after his FHO surgery:
Thank you for posting this. My pup is a pit mix that needs FHO surgery on both hips, and I was concerned about the recovery. It seems like your pup is doing great!
