Just wanted to pop in with a quick update on our girl. It became apparent quickly she would require a larger area to safely recuperate and move around with a bit more ease than her crate. While her crate(s) are medium wire size...with her limited mobility it would have been difficult for her to get situated comfortably. I ordered an x pen through a local pet supply store and picked it up a couple of days ago...
This morning she is able to put a little weight on her leg...although in the photo her full weight is on the right leg. We are seeing improvement...as the veterinarian advised....but another 9-10 days of rest and recovery are required. She is hurting less...with pain medications...and is more comfortable. She is back to sleeping in her crate in our bedroom at night...and spends her days in the x pen. With a bit of snuggle time with Mama on the couch...she still requires physical cuddles and attention.
My dear nephew and his wife have said good bye to their French bulldog, Daisy. Poor little one had undergone two back surgeries...and lost an eye in January due to a herniated retina. She began showing symptoms of yet another back issue...and they made the difficult decision to let her be at peace. They are beyond devastated...and baby brother Dozer will be lost without his big sister. Sometimes we have to put our own wants aside and remember what is best for our fur family members.
The cold temperatures have returned with bitter windchills and winds. I could hear the wind roaring during the night...but our snow has melted a great deal! Fingers crossed no storms in the forecast yet.
With Liesel requiring all of our attention...I've done little in the way of home decor or shopping. I do plan to do a bedroom refresh in the coming weeks...the evenings are getting longer and I can't wait to shed heavy bedding....and warmer clothes.
Hope this post finds everyone well today. Thanks so much for stopping by & spending a bit of your time with me.
