Stitches

It is hard to believe it has been two weeks since Sage went to the vet for her surgery.  We are in a rhythm, now, a routine that seems to work.  Although she is gaining more and more of her energetic self, the "enforced quiet" has been nice.  A "staycation" for us.

Today she goes back to get her stitches removed.  One less thing for me to worry about, watching to make sure she didn't like.

But she continues to be a pretty good patient, although she wants to leap, and charge (slow walking is still an unknown for her) she adapted to the soft crate, the tethering, and now almost seems like a junkie looking for her medicine "fix."  

We have a long way to go.  In the past two weeks I have heard lots of stories of people trying to keep their dogs quiet after this surgery...mellow seems to be the word of the day.

But today, another step in the recovery.

Murphy's day and day 14 of Sage's recovery.
