Brita seems to be doing well.. slept all night – no whining – I’m sure the drugs helped! So it was pretty uneventful until a bit ago when I took her out front to potty. The temporary fence I put around the front yard for Olivia is coming in handy. I do keep Brita on leash however since a rabbit lives right around there and my guess is that she would go from standing still to mach 1 if she saw it! Jake was not happy that he had to stay on the back porch while I took her out front and Jake, being Jake, never thinks he can’t do something but instead just figures out a way to do it. I can’t tell you whether the screen was loose or not but I assure you it’s now out of the window and he was at the front door to greet us as we tried to push our way in. I will say that a solid “platz” or “down” has calmed down my dogs on more than one occasion including this one. So he stayed down while I threw the wiggly “why can’t I say hi” Brita into her temporary padded room. All is well now.. the K9s are sleeping. More later.
Uneventful day (a good thing!) … Nothing new to report. I realized how different than the other 3 dogs who had surgery over the years (Jake, Josephine and Teddy). For each of them it was a hip issue and walking was a problem unlike Brita who is walking just fine but shouldn’t. I notice she doesn’t have full control of her tail which will come but other than that, the challenge is slowing her down.
More tomorrow…
