It is now two weeks and two days since my puppy dog was involved in a 'squirming when held' incident. The result of which was a broken toe - here is a picture of her after she had her leg splinted and bound two weeks ago at the vets
Doesn't she look sad. I am pleased to say that after a couple of days she got her bounce back and the challenge since then has been to get her to take it easy. She is not a dog that does anything slowly, she has two types of movement, stop and go go go go go. She was supposed to go outside for toilet breaks only at the beginning, however we soon discovered (by her standing at the bottom of the drive barking very loudly at the open road and refusing to come back in) that she needed a little more. A little 10 minute walk around the block has been enough, until the last few days. Now she is desperate to go for a run, we are keeping her on the lead to stop her from doing this at the vets insistence, however it is so difficult watching her desperation. I have made her a little sleeve that goes over her plaster for when we are out, which makes her runny hop thing quite amusing to watch, my husband took this video of her yesterday:
I am so hoping that when we visit the vets again this Wednesday she may be freed from her restrictions!
790. Bright green leaves against brilliant blue sky.
791. Listening to a church service while sat a distance away in a beautiful garden.
792. His words that pierce through my self preservation and remind me that NOW is a pin prick compared to the eternity He gives me.
793. Balls of beautifully coloured yarn triggering my creative mind.
794. A happy 11 year old returning from a residential trip to London.
795. My cosy ripple blanket keeping my toes warm on very chilly 'summer' evenings.
796. Resurrecting an old flapjack recipe much to the delight of all the family.
797. Surprise fairtrade roses from my hubby.
798. Helpful dog wardens.
799. A light week ahead of me.

ReplyDeleteI loved reading your list of every day blessings! Your poor little dog; how I hope he gets better. How like we humans she seems. Too impatient to sit still and be, always wanted to move.
