Picked Kate up at a very quiet Fairview-University.\u00a0 She got into the truck cab under her own steam, stands on her new hip and walks short distances with the aid of the walker.\u00a0 Her progress from last Friday amazes me.\u00a0 She tires quickly, of course, but she’s already on the mend.<\/p>\n
Now the fireworks.\u00a0 Rigel, who hates thunder, doesn’t distinguish between thunder and fireworks.\u00a0 She becomes agitated, barks.\u00a0 No fun for her.\u00a0 Or us.<\/p>\n
I discovered a new sensation with Kona’s injury yesterday.\u00a0 I put the bandage on, wrapped the coban around her thorax to hold the bandage in place, and the dog who had been snapping and biting, shrieking and limping, bounded up the stairs as if nothing was the matter at all.\u00a0 Today, after Kate got home, I checked it for heat or tenderness, both signs of infection and it felt cool, plus she didn’t flinch.\u00a0 Being able to help her move from a limping, snarling state to a normal carefree state in just a couple of minutes gave me a lot of satisfaction.\u00a0 Made me realize what Kate feels in the urgent care.\u00a0 It’s a rush and a pleasant one.<\/p>\n
Gertie, who almost certainly bit Kona, is asleep at my feet, looking innocent.\u00a0 In this instance my guess is that Kona snapped at Gertie and Gertie bit back.\u00a0 Kona has become a bit crankier as she ages.\u00a0 I don’t think this will be a long term problem.<\/p>\n
It’s going to be a busy July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
