I was all set to make the trip over to see Lainey Saturday morning, but with the roads in the condition they were ,and the "white-out" conditions being reported on the highway, I chose against it.
I'm actually glad that I didn't see her on Saturday because it sounds like she had a pretty rough day. Her TPLO surgery on the 2nd leg was on Friday and she was just a mess on Saturday. She wouldn't eat, wouldn't get out of her cage and wouldn't even attempt to put either one of her legs to the ground.
Fortunately, by Sunday when the hubby and I arrived for our visit with her, she was a whole new dog! She was walking ON BOTH LEGS (with assistance from the sling) and was just so happy to see us. It was the first time in a long time that you could "see" that she felt better. I was able to feed her and take for a walk to do her "duties". It felt so good to get a glimpse of the dog that I remember.
If she continues to improve, we should be able to bring her home early this week.
