I really need to get clearance from the surgeon that Kryten is cleared for normal activity! Last night after I had decided that I was done waiting for kids I went out to close the front gate. When I opened the door to go back inside, Kryten came charging out. I think he went 0-60 in 1.3s, it was impressive to see that much dog flying around and actually being able to corner far better than he could before his surgery. It took 3-4 laps before I could safely stop his imitation of a race horse and once I got him stopped he went into full guard mode, likely due to all the scents in the yard.
This morning he showed no side effects of his unplanned activities, which was great. Not hurting himself meant he still got to go to the bakery for his walk today. About a third of the way there we came across a woman and her small (medium?) dog who had questions as she had never seen a mastiff in person before. The dogs were separated by a low fence with horizontal rails. Kryten somehow managed to squeeze himself through the fence, I can't figure out how he got his head through let alone his chest. Afterwards he was non weight bearing on his surgical leg if still or a very pronounced limp while in motion. Needless to say, he didn't get to go to the bakery. During the 5 minute walk home the limp disappeared and he is using it normally now but that was scary. Given how quickly it resolved I am leaning to him having hit a nerve in the leg when he pushed through the fence rather than it having anything to do with the surgery site.
def sounds like a good sign to me. I have following this thread since it started and I want an answer so I can only imagine how you feel.
