Nico spent the day at the vet to get neutered. He is still a little dopey from the anesthesia and pain meds but otherwise is doing well. He got to spend the afternoon up in the office at the Lake Placid Animal Hospital, sleeping under one of their desks. I'm sure he felt more comfortable there. He spends a good chunk of his day sleeping under Shelly's desk at home. The doctor's orders are no running, jumping, or climbing for the next seven days. That should be a fun challenge!
It's quite funny watching Nico try to pick up the rugby ball. Once he does he has a grand old time running around with it barely in his mouth.
Today started off a little rough. Nico had a straight-up freak out session when we walked by another dog this morning. He gets so amped when he sees other dogs; barking, pulling, and this morning essentially screaming. He wants to go say hi and play, when he can't he sometimes loses it. Shelly and I are regrouping and have a plan to help refocus his energy. The rest of the day he spent with me at work. He made a few new friends and overall did very well. We wrapped up the day with a short walk on the Paul Smith's College campus while taking in an amazing sunset.
