Time flies when you're.... Having surgery?

So all was going well until Coda had his neutering, hernia, microchip surgery on May 29th. He recovered well but we had to keep him quiet and mostly indoors for ten days. He was not a happy camper! He kept jumping on the sofa and running around like a lunatic. Just as he was getting back into the swing of things, I then had my knee surgery on June 19th and since then I have largely been out of action so walks have been few and far between. Last night was a major victory with a six block walk :) Coda now has so much pent up energy that when we play with toys, in grabbing for the toy he has bit my arm twice (major bruising but no broken skin!).

As I've been largely immobile our training has been confined to what can be done while on the couch so I have taught him "high five" with his right paw and "side" where he lays on his side, the latter being somewhat weak still.
