Advice Re Two Dogs Being Separated Post Surgery

Our 10 year old dog is due to have some surgery tomorrow (removal of one anal sac) and I'm worried about how our 11 month old GSD x Mal will cope. They are generally not separated for long, but when they are, the youngster whinges and cries for his friend (they really are great friends, even though he drives the old girl mad sometimes). We had this situation a couple of months ago, but got around it by having a new roof installed at the time, which meant the pup went to a kennel and the old girl mostly lived inside with us while she recovered. That particular surgery was really quite minor though...

So apart from bones, Kongs, daily walks, training and play sessions, what on earth else can I do to combat this, so that he doesn't drive our neighbours (and us) crazy?

Evenings won't be an issue as both dogs sleep inside, but as he's quite rough and tumble, we will need to keep them separate during the day so the old girl can recover...

Looking forward to seeing what others have to say :-)
