Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

It's awesome what you're doing for Chuck! If he hasn't been taught any low key games, this is a great time to teach him some so there are familiar activities he can do while recuperating. Hide and seek with treats hidden for him to sniff out can be a good way to exercise his brain and tire him out, though use caution if he's highly food motivated. Three card monte/the shell game is another good one to practice, which you and he could play without him having to move much at all except to point at the shell with the treat.
thankfully he's pretty content just chilling most of the time and chewing on whatever toy i give him. he does love to play fetch, but it doesn't appear that he needs it, so we stopped once i found out he was limping.
That's good to hear, and hopefully he'll get to play fetch in comfort again soon!
