1st night home

Niko did great. I heard him bumping into the walls with his cone around 2am and came down to let him go outside - making sure that I used the sling to prevent his back leg to "hit" the down when he went down the step outside the front door. The sling, by the way, is working wonderfully. I used a towel and sewed handles on to the ends - it works like a charm when he has to go down step. I take the cone off to go outside and usually after he has done his business, he likes to sit down and experience life without the cone. I sat outside with him for about 10 minutes, brought him in and re-coned him before heading back off to bed.
