Great God Almighty she is home at last

What a girl. She came bouncing into the room at the surgery center. She was S-o-o-o glad to see daddy! They put her in one of the “cones” but I ordered the stiff “no bite collar” and I am so glad I did. She is still very clumsy – especially out on the grass, and that thing was just making it worse. Despite all I have heard, when we got home she was making a lot of noise. I took her out in the backyard and she peed for ever. Then moved to another part of the yard and – to my surprise – let go of a “long log”. What a good girl. Then another pee and we came back inside and I put her in the pen I made with furniture, ironing board, rugs and a full case of Heineken (probably have to find something else to replace that soon). She whined until I petted her and stroked her and now she is down and out. The “site” looks really gruesome – I will post pictures later. Now, the hardest part for me…getting these pills down her! I surprised myself – didn’t cry or show my actual emotions…just talked to her and loved it when she started licking my face with that big tongue. Same baby I dropped off a few days ago…who will no longer have a “sore” leg. She is so happy just to be home…me too!
