The Pooch is Back

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, just after I got up, the vet called.  We got the unexpected news that Lizzy was really doing well and she could come home any time after noon.  Rachel went back to sleep for a bit and I did work but around 10:45 all of us left to get Lizzy.

We got down to San Antonio quickly.  The vet spent about 10-15 minutes with us explaining what he did with Lizzy and how we should take care of her for the next 10-14 days.  He was really nice and made us feel good about how things had gone.  He said she's on some pain medicine that may make her lethargic.  Then he went and got Lizzy.  Lizzy seemed very confused - as if they had just woken her up or something.  She seemed basically happy to see us but just not sure what was going on.  Even when we got her in the car, she wasn't sure what to do and just stood there for a bit.

By the time we got back home, though, Lizzy was really back to her normal self.  As soon as we got in the house she wanted to go in the backyard.  When she came in she ate a bit.  A little while later she found a rawhide and threw it up in the air and chased it before checking on it.  Really, she didn't have a big incision on her neck and shaved around there, I wouldn't have guessed anything had happened to her.

Rachel tutored in the afternoon.  When she got home, we had salmon, steak which was cooked on the grill and corn on the cob.

After dinner, we went on a very short walk and took Lizzy with us.  She did well.

The boys are getting ready for bed.

Until next time...
