Week 11 post op

 This is week 11 and 9 for Raven's hips.  They are still popping, no explanation as to why.  Anyway, Raven has had a good week:  He has been able to run on a leash several times much to his amusement.  He's such a good boy, he sometimes stops abruptly with a sheepish look in his eyes as if he thinks he's doing something wrong.  We have to tell him it's ok to run around a bit.  Still having issues eating.
Raven being a worm
 Raven has perfected what we call "the Worm", due to being conditioned to lay down at all times. He plays mostly laying down, and rolls around stretching, and lunging on his belly like a seal.  Sula is not as good about laying down, but when she does, she has a more "Viper" technique, striking and snapping.  
Sula only has one more week to go before she can be let off leash.  Can't wait, this puppy is ferocious and needs a lot of exercise, so keeping her contained hasn't been easy.  She's not as cool and collected as Raven.  Unfortunately, her hips are popping more and more.  I'm already set against doing TPO surgery with her simply based on her personality and energy level, especially because Raven's hips are still popping even after his TPO.  I'd rather do total hip down the road if needed when she's mellowed out.  And still hoping the JPS will do the trick.
