[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 19187"] When Sarge (aka difficult child Dog) had to have his tail amputated he was so pitiful. Not only was he in pain, he had an E-Collar on. He was on pain medications and they seemed to make him a bit loopy which just added to his anxiety. He wouldn't sit for the first 4 hours after he came home. I finally got him to lie down by lying on the floor with him, but he would keep moving with a lot of heavy sighing and whining. He wouldn't stay in one place for more than a few minutes I finally got up on the couch and lied down on my side. He climbed on the couch and stretched out completely on top of me. His head with the big ole E-Collar around it was resting on the side of my head. And he finally slept. Having a 70 pound dog stretched out on top of you isn't comfortable, but the poor thing just needed some mothering and I needed some sleep. To top it off, we'd only had him a week. He probably was wondering what he got himself into! Comes to a new home and we tortue him!!! Poor thing. I slept downstairs with him for 2 or 3 nights until he felt well enough to jump up onto my bed - my bed is pretty high. Now he seems to be suffering from chronic ear infections. I always know when they're bothering him cause he shakes his head and comes to me whining and lays his head in my lap. Fortunately, the vet has seen him for them a couple times and now I can just pick the medications up without having to bring him in and pay for an office visit. Honest, I don't seek out high maintenance animals. They just seem to find me. All of my pets are high maintenance. Except for the bunny. But she's still a baby. Give her time.
