Mary and Reenie were out and about today on the neighborhood walk. The most telling thing that has happened is another new name for the dog named Layla also known as Wiggles, Twinks, Little One, Ol' One Eye and "Why Am I Yelling at a Deaf Dog?" The latest name is derived from her absolute lack of 'lead sense.' If there is a wrong way to turn while on the 30 foot lead, Idjit Dawg will find it.
We acknowledge this dog is a "cuddlebug" as Mary terms it. That part is true. But the dawg is also an idjit. She continually wrapped the lead around Reenie's legs and then couldn't figure out how to go the other direction. As Reenie said, given she was tied up by Idjit Dawg and Shawna was resting every few paces, Mary looked like the hare in this parade!
No real news on the medical front. Mary is still taking the pain killers but almost on a 6 hour cycle now, way down from the original 3 hour cycle. We expect the surgeon will remove the last of the staples, give advice as to how to treat the incision and then give us the rundown on what to expect next. They haven't ordered a blood test yet so he is clearly feeling she is on a good path. That may happen after he sees her tomorrow if there is something to be concerned about. The fact she is making progress, the swelling is way down and she looks good may result in a decision to not perform the draw. We'll know in the morning!
