More energy ... sometimes

Dave and I were gone for the Labor Day weekend, but Erin said that she and TJ played a lot. He chased his toys, played a kind of hide & seek in the house, etc. They also took a really long walk. This morning I took him out for a walk, and we basically jogged around the entire neighborhood, with only short stops. This is definitely NOT the typical behavior for him lately, and I take it as a good sign. He still has a lot of discharge on his neck, which comes and goes. He also still spends a lot of time sleeping. Yesterday I could hardly get him to come out of his room. His legs are really raw from scratching and chewing. Erin bought him some new socks (boots?), and she's been keeping those on most of the time so that he can't scratch himself raw.

Thursday is his last day on antibiotics, so it will be very interesting to see what happens with his skin and itching once that's over with. Yesterday and today his ears seem to be really itchy again, so I hope the infection is completely gone.
