KD is back

Picked up KD this afternoon. She is still wandering around getting used to being back, but she seems to be returning to comfortableness with her surroundings.

And she is off

Well, Adrien went home this afternoon. ATA said she wasn't ready to start rehab yet, but the new family is ready for her and will keep her quiet and followup in 2 weeks with another xray. Am cleaning up the house now and laundering all the quilts. The cleaning people come to do the house tomorrow anyway, so KD will come home after that.

A farewell to the licker

Adrien is at ATA today getting an xray to see where she is in bone regrowth and her new family is meeting me there this afternoon to pick her up and get rehab instructions. She has been a very sweet house guest and I will miss her but I am also thrilled with how excited her new family is to get her.

Meet and greet

Adrien has had a few people express interest in her through Austin Boxer Rescue. One couple came by tonight to do a meet and greet with their little male dog. The meeting went well and they are interested. I said I wanted to hang on to Adrien through next Wed.'s xray to see what they say about rehab.

1 more week

Adrien is getting antsy. She saw a cat a night or 2 ago when going out for a potty break. She went wild and pulled at the leash. I had to reel her in even on the 5 foot leash so she didn't try to run. Same thing yesterday with a squirrel. She walks me all over the backyard sniffing the scent trail. I have to redirect her to go to the bathroom and take her back in. Hopefully we are cleared for more walking next Wed after the xray.

1 week down and 2 more to go

Adrien is taking it in stride. She is very good natured. I am letting her spend almost all her time other than overnight in her xpen. She whines a bit when I am there and not paying her attention, but she settles down. She mostly just lays around dozing or staring trying to get someone's attention so that they will come give her some love.

3 more weeks

I meant to blog on Wednesday after Adrien's appt., but I never got around to it. Well, the doc said she is doing well, the incision is closed and stitches are dissolved. There is some bone growth, but they want to hold off on starting PT and come back in 3 weeks for another xray. Oh well, another 3 weeks of confinement. She is doing well with it, but she is clearly very happy going outside. I may have to find some time to take the xpen outside and put her in it and hang outside with her.

I say we call it sealed

There is a teeny tiny little spot of a scab at the topmost part of the incision, but that is getting smaller and may not even be there by end of day today. We have another week to go on the wait for xrays, but she has been so good that I have been letting her spend all her time when someone is home in the xpen and I have stopped using a collar on her in her crate. No problems over the past day and half with licking and messing up the wound so things are progressing nicely.
