Follow-up pictures

First, a few Dolly pictures.  In the first, she’s laying on the dreaded lounge chair that caused the broken leg.  At least she’s not afraid of it.  Actually, we wish she was a little more afraid of it, lest it happen again.

Some pictures around the house…  I put together some planters in late [...]

Halfway there

Wednesday marked three weeks since Dolly broke her leg.  We had the cast replaced at the two-week mark because it was rubbing on her elbow causing it to bleed and bother her.  She’s gotten the new cast wet twice now, but hopefully we got it dry enough that it’s not rotting her flesh underneath, otherwise [...]

All sorts of stuff

Very random post ahead since I’ve had pictures on my camera for a while.
I wanted a nice picture of Dolly and she was laying nicely on the deck stairs so I figured that was a good setting.  I got this really nice picture of her:

Sue tells me that while I was at the store getting materials to make a run for her, she was actually running around a little.  She keeps the [...]

She’s pretty doped up at the moment, so I expect she’s just going to [...]

Dolly’s a trooper …

I just got back from the vet, and Dolly is hurting, but in relatively good spirits.  She was very happy to see me.  She  sat with me and put her head on my lap, and gave me a few licks.  I hope I made her feel a little better by coming to see her.  They [...]

Dolly update

The vet just called Guy and told him that Dolly broke both bones in her leg, just above her “wrist”.  It was a clean break, giving us two options.  Have them set and cast it and hope it heals, or the suggested surgery with a plate to secure the bones.
We’ve opted to let them cast [...]

Poor Dolly……

Well,  if it isn’t one thing, it’s another.  This evening,  we took the dogs out for their nightly run to get them some exercise.  When they were nice and tired, we sat down for a minute, and Dolly took up her usual position lying on the chaise lounge chair, and waited for us to go [...]
