When you have one of the Flip HD camcorders, you keep it with you so you can capture weird happenings like the video shown below.
It shows Alvin The Cockapoo going beserk on a pillow. And then it appears he tries to explain his actions.
After you view this video - please comment on the dog behavior - I think Alvin might need a doggie shrink!

Canine Luxating Patella (Trick Knee) 12 Days Post Surgery - Simon Stitchless
Twelve days after luxating patella surgery on his right back leg, Simon got the surgical stitches removed by his vet. The vet reported that the surgical site appeared to be healing as expected with no infection and minimal swelling.
How well does he walk? He walks effortlessly without even a hint of a limp. In fact, he has escaped to run through the doggie door so he can play with Alvin on the deck.
Because he does not lick the surgical site, we were able to dispose of his ecollar. This makes it much easier for Simon to find a comfortable sleeping position.
The Next 4 Weeks Of Recovery
Now comes the hard part - continuing Simon's minimal level of activity for the next four weeks. Interesting that the vet said to watch his weight, so we compared his weight on July 17 - 5 days after surgery - to his weight on July 26. He lost 1/2 pound or 2% of his body weight.
But the deal is - he's also eating a lot less than before the surgery, leaving about 1/2 of his nighttime meal and consuming fewer cookies (treats).
It will be an interesting 4 weeks!
