There has been purring and rolling on his back already. Happy to be home! Happy to see me! Happy to see food! And rolling around on a new to him bed in a colour he likes, a huuge dog bed, but I know he likes dark green and often chooses it.
Having a floppy poncho rather than a plastic cone is so much better for him. He has to wear the cone when I am not around they said, so, at night or maybe if I have long work meetings (I might sit with the laptop in his paddock monday at least)
