Well, Brandy came out of surgery just fine (whew, what a relief), and it seems like she's well on the road to recovery (Thanks to Hawkins Animal Hospital). Bit by bit, day by day, she gets a little more use out of the leg. It's still tender, however, no redness, no swelling or discolouration. The incision is nice and clean and dry.She's a tough little cookie, hasn't complained once...not like my dad and his knee, but that's another story.
I can't tell if she enjoys coming to work with me or not...I believe she's bored (and I can't say that I blame her, the excitement level in the real estate industry is pretty low right now...although there are always the "colourful characters" - and I say that with tonge in cheek - for amusement), but she's so well behaved you'd never know I have a dog in my office. Everyone loves her there, and wants to keep her as the office mascot...fat chance of that! I think she'd quite after the first week. She's big on working and thinking, and well, mascot just doesn't entail that.
Thought I'd post some after picture of her wound. Two pictures below, once of the 2nd day after surgery and one a few days later. You can see the difference in just a couple days (even though both pictures look pretty gross the 2nd one is much better, trust me).
And, on a little less messy-medical note, just wanted to share a picture of my happy clients (my uncle and his girlfriend) with the picture of "Casey", just added to my site, a cute little dapple dachshund.
