It Takes a Village


Everyone needs friends and family to help them heal. Not only does Boney have two doting moms who love her very much, but she has Beanie and Booda who keep her company and share their love. Neither of them have taken to licking and cleaning her wound (thank God!), but they are all about cleaning her ears, licking her face, and keeping her company.

Tomorrow is our two week follow up with the vet. I will be interested in knowing how they think she is progressing. I know some of you may think I'm projecting, but I think she is a little depressed. She looks sad and tired. She doesn't get out of bed without A LOT of coaxing. When we get walking, she does have a spring in her step and her appetite is fine, but I think she's tired of being sick. And she is still in some pain.

Her stunt this evening: We came home from work and took her out for a walk. We left to go celebrate a friend's birthday. We didn't want to put her e-collar on her (see the picture below), so we put a white polo shirt on her. When we came home, her shirt was ripped off and lying on the steps. She was alone in her bed upstairs looking all innocent. Her wound looks cleaner than it ever has -- the little devil!

How incredibly cute is that picture and that story. Let me know how she makes out today - my thoughts and good energy are always with her and you all. -Jo
