And so recovery begins….

Shmi returned to her Foster parents Saturday (1/12) to begin recuperating from her lengthy surgery. Much to her dismay, Shmi must remain in here crate for the next several weeks. Six or more to be exact, but don't tell her I said that. Her appetite is growing which is a good sign. She didn't like her liquid meds, but really who does? Now, the pill pockets she loves. As long as she thinks they are treats, it's all good. She seems to enjoy her luxury suite, but often cries out because she wants out " ATTICA, ATTICA." When she gets out of her crate, she walks about, struts her stuff, and shows her love. She is very mobile and seems to be very appreciative of help she has received. She does sport a soft recovery collar to prevent her from pulling out her staples.
