When The Curmudgeon got up, I went to bed trusting him to keep an eye on Gavin.  According to him, Gavin spent most of the day sleeping.  This is a good thing.  He did keep Gavin and Patty separated all day since he didn’t think he could manage them if she got too peppy and wanted to play with Gavin.

                It turns out she was happy to have her Daddy to herself each time she was out of her crate and made no moves to pester Gavin through the crate door at all.

                Once I finally woke up, The Curmudgeon was already down for his nap.  They did tire him out today and since Gavin was so good about his ear, he trusted him to leave it alone.  Something I wouldn’t have done.  Yes, I did scold him a tad.

                I decided to give the dogs a chance to be together.  Gavin was out of his crate and I let Patty join him.  She gave his ear a couple of good sniffing and then left him alone.  She didn’t try to engage him in play so I’m guessing she knew he wasn’t up for it.

                If all continues to go well, Gavin should have his stitches out on the 23^rd.  Patty will be happy since I’m sure it is taking all her best behavior to keep from teasing him into playing with her.
