Sadie's staples were removed two days ago. I was worried because she still was not putting alot of weight down on her leg, however, she is using her leg so much better today. I am hoping that she gets better with every day. Sadie likes to sit outside (now that we have had some nice days). She will not stay out by herself. I chain her leash to a tree but she wants me outside with her. It is difficult because now I have to sit outside with her. She is happy just to lay on the grass and chew on one of her rawhides. It is so difficult to get her to go inside. I have to offer her a piece of cheese in order to get her to move! I understand how she is feeling. She has been cooped up for over 5 months (in a 5 by 7 area). She wants to be outside and she wants to spend time with her people. She loves people, dogs-everybody. During the winter, I would spend time in her little area. I would roll a ball to her, massage her, kiss her, and play with her. Unfortunately, I cannot spend every moment with her and she gets upset. She will bark at me if I am in the kitchen and especially if I am on the phone. She wants to be free. We have 4 more weeks of captivity to go-I hope this is it! My dog needs her freedom. This situation is making all of us crazy. Hopefully I will be able to post the latest flip video of Sadie and my daughter Sydnie. It was taken after she got her staples out and her Cone removed from her head.
