Recovery

First, thank you to everyone who wished us well here and on Twitter. Mom said it helped her get through the day, knowing that we had some awesome friends out there. 

Second, Petunia did great today! The surgery only took a few minutes, the vet said. And from her behavior, you'd never think Petunia even went to the vet!

But she has some stitches on her elbow. Looks ugly, doesn't it?

The vet had very strict instructions for us. 

No running.

No jumping.

No playing.

No stairs.

No swimming.

So what does Petunia do? 

After being carried inside the house, she ran into the living room. 

She jumped on the couch. 

She started playing with Tallulah.

Once we went outside, she immediately ran down the deck stairs and 

to the baby pool and got her paws wet. 

We've already been through three bandages, the kind from the stick to itself tape. 

In frustration, mom decided to wrap her in this Ace bandage to try to keep the bandage on. 

We'll see how long it works.

If anyone has any ideas, let us know.  

We have a recheck next Friday. 

The pathology report should be back by then. 

The waiting is the hardest part. 

But with some wonderful bloggy friend support and good pet insurance, 

we know things are going to be okay.
