His knee has healed up very nicely. All in all we've only lost one staple. Not bad at all.
His fur is already growing back in nicely on his rear leg and while the knee itself looks swollen. he's nor really favoring it at all.

Day Nine
Nubs has decided he wants nothing to do with his antibiotics and now is spitting them back out at me after I give them to him. I took four tries this time to get him to take the pill, 2 times I thought he had swallowed said pill, only to find it on the floor when he walked away. 3 more dosages and I'm done.

The Capturer
Here's a tail of the bored Nubs.
He had been caged up for 5 whole days now, and every minuet of every hour that passed was like sitting on pins and needles. He just couldn't take it any longer. He whimpered, moaned, and groaned despite the protest of his capturers trying the hardest he could to get their attentions.
"Maybe they forgot about me" he thought to himself as he started to shake the prisons door. "HHHHEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!" He cried out, but was instantly quieted when the wall of his prison cell shook with vengeance.
"Be Quite! ENOUGH!!!" said his capturer.
Nubs curled up on his fluffy bed and let out the most pitiful sigh ever. He just couldn't understand why he was stuck in this cell. He began to itch his knee where his captures had done some sort of horrible experiment on him when out of know where his prison door opened...
"NUBS! LLLLLLEEEEEAAAAVVVVVEEEEE IT! Dude, why in the world are you being such a BRAT tonight?!?" his capturer walked away
"SUCCESSS!!!!!!" Nubs thought as he bolted out of his prison cell.
Nubs stopped to stretch his legs out and made a mad dash to the door.
"Noooo! Foiled again!!!" Nubs cried out when he saw that his only means of escape was blocked off.
"Nubs, what are you doing? I go to grab you food and this is how you repay me? Cage NOW!"
"That's it" Nubs thought to himself "I'm going to fight back!" Nubs sat down and faced his capturer...
"You will NOT put me back in that cage woman! You will let me be free, and you WILL PLAY WITH ME!"
His capture still kept coming at him and Nubs finally pulled out his secret weapon, EVIL EYES!
I Said YOU WILL PLAY WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!
"NOOOOOOO!" Nubs cried as he was placed back in his prison cell.
-----------------------
Nubs had given up for the moment. Laying down in his bed thinking about his next move. Soon he would escape his cell for good and go on a nice long walk around his neighborhood or in the forest... yes he would, soon...
The End....

Day 5 and 6
Nubs knee is looking so much better these past couple of days. Most of the bruising is now gone, and all is left is some swelling of his knee. Today (day 6) has been the best day for him yet. I keep having to put him in his crate for refusing to lay still. He really just wants to play. He has even tried playing tug with his leash while we are out side, which is to say really annoying when it's 20 degrees outside + wind chill.

Day Four, and it keeps getting better!
Today is day four and Nubs is really improving. His knee is really healing up well as now he has started to chew on his staples a little bit more. Nothing major still no cone of shame, but if he starts getting more interested in it, I be putting one on him.
Swelling has really gone down alone with the bruising. His hair is even growing back . He's really starting to use that back leg for walking, but still doesn't like to stand using it. I'm happy with how things are going so far and am shocked for it only being 4 days and already he's doing so much better.
"Not the camera again! Geeze!"

Day Three
Today is better then yesterday. It seems the ACE has done it's job today because Nubs is just completely relaxed, not a care in the world. He's made his bed in front of the heater today and all is well.
The bruising from last night has gotten darker, but Nubs doesn't seem bothered too much by his knee. I can tell when the Pain meds has started to wear off because he'll start licking the stitches, not enough to cause an issue with them, but enough that I catch him. No e-collar yet.
I can't help but think that I've raised my dog well or I just have a sissy dog that doesn't like the cold. Potty breaks have been sort, to the point and then a mad dash inside (while I'm attempting to slow him down and being dragged across the snow) Nothing stops this dog.
