Recovering

I'm doing well since the accident just a short 3 days ago. I'm leaving the staples alone so I don't have to wear the cone. No one's left me alone yet. That happens Tuesday when Mommy has to be at work. They have it set it up so that every 3 hours or so, someone will be coming over to check on me. They just want to ease me into having to be at home alone for long stretches of time, like when they goto baseball games or work. I got to come to baseball practice last night and did really well. Most of my days are spent laying in my favorite spot by the window on a bunch of comfy blankets. Mommy still is getting up in the night to medicate me with pain pills. My hind legs are more swollen as the days go on. I'm able to go up the stairs and climb onto the bed. The first night home was rough. Mommy and Daddy got to pick me up from the vet at 6:30p and were instructed to watch for me to urinate. I couldn't help it but I was whinning the whole way home and for the next 4 hours off and on. At bedtime I still hadn't urinated. As soon as all the lights were out I quietly climbed the stairs to go up to Jaelyn's room. I laid by Jaelyn's door, with my front paws under the door and my nose up to the crack under the door. Mommy left me in and I jumped on the bed, in my spot, and fell asleep. I just wanted normacy and to be with my sister Jaelyn. That next morning I finally urinated and Mommy was able to take out the saline lock IV that the vet left in "just in case". I was starting to perk up and wag my tail a little more. 3 days later and I'm having a hard time eating my own food and go out into the backyard alone. I usually stand by the back door but won't go out unless someone goes out with me. I won't pee however unless I'm alone. A girl needs privacy. It's getting out there that is difficult. It's because the whole back yard smells of my best friend, Sprinkles. I'm sure over the next few weeks, that will get better. I just pray as time goes on, my emotional pain will subside just as my physical pain. In the meantime, I'm getting people food, tons of treats, and their undivided attention. I'm gonna be one spoiled doggie but they don't care because I was given a second chance at life on Friday and I'm so grateful.
