My dog just got spayed. What fun, safe, limited activities can she do?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 months and 24 days old

Piper just got home from being spayed, and all she wants to do is play. What is something we can do for her to have fun but is still considered 'limited activity'?

Chew toys and food kongs are ideal at this stage as she would be likely to lie down and rest the wound in order to 'play' with them. Regular, limited lead walking will also help to deal with some of her excessive energy. She should not be playing and running, jumping or stretching games as these may cause the stitches to rupture
