just when i think atlas can’t get any more adorable, he goes and does. just look at him.

i think the splint is supposed to slow him down. atlas’s opinion: “i am just as speedy with the splint on as i am with it off!”

there is a fine line between feisty and ornery. the line depends on the current mood of the observer.

atlas’s new nickname is thumper. can you guess how he acquired it?

unfortunately for atlas, he is starting to develop rubbing sores so i am having to curb his enthusiasm for speed and limit his walking and movement. (i was good about enforcing no running, jumping, or playing. i was not so good about enforcing no movement. that seemed like a lot of no’s for an energetic pup.)

the amount of attention atlas receives seems to have increased exponentially.

when this is all over, i am going to have to post pictures of all his splints together. they are so colorful. the last one had bright yellow tape with green dog bones. the current one has aqua tape with navy stars.
