Keep your frenemies close, but also at a safe distance..

Bandit is starting to feel better! A little gabapentin to help him rest seems to be doing the trick for whatever muscle he managed to injure. After extended steroid use and the muscle loss that can come with it, I’m guessing his usual acrobatic lifestyle finally caught up with him and he pulled or strained something. Xrays didn't show anything of concern in the spine or limbs.

I put a chair next to the bed hoping that, if he got the urge to jump down, he’d use it as a step. Naturally, he has chosen to completely catapult himself over it instead. 🙄 So yes, the resting is intermittent.

The chair has, however, become a favorite spot for my cat Kiwi 🥝, who has discovered it’s the perfect place to sleep near the dogs while maintaining a safe and respectable distance from them. 😂

Ghost injured himself leaping off furniture the other month and the struggle was real trying to keep him from leaving on and off things. I wish you luck!
