While I was at the beach, Cooper had his best stay ever at the kennel where I board him! They were just pleased as punch with Prozac Cooper!
What I realized since having him home is that three Prozac a day really make him a little too lethargic and he sleeps a ton. Make no mistake, I have enjoyed drugged up Cooper and it has been a very pleasant couple of weeks since he started his medication. But in addition to sleeping a lot he also isn't eating that much. I have decided to knock down his Prozac to two pills a day and see how that works for him. Hopefully, it will give him some emotional balance, but not kill his appetite.
I woke up sleeping beauty today to take him to the dog park. He was raring to go when he got in the car! He did not chew up the new mat or bark the entire way to the park. Both improvements!
It was a bit muddy at the dog park because it rained last night and this morning.
Cooper did not care one little bit.
He was kind enough to take several baths in the water troughs to wash himself off! Muddy mess! I blame Tibi for his love of sitting in the water trough. She taught him that!
Then he met a new friend Bo and they chased and chased and chased each other for a long time.
Then they did this even longer.
Good times!
All in all, things are improving with Cooper and I am hopeful that by tweaking his medication we can find a sweet spot to keep him balanced and happy! This morning I woke up and found him sleeping on the landing of the stairs, just like his predecessor Astro used to do. It made me smile.
