Day 5 (Sunday) ~6:30 AM
Good morning, Boo!
I slept downstairs with her both nights I was home. She woke me up at 5:30 AM on Sunday making licking noises - I opened my eyes to make sure she wasn't managing to tear at her bandages, and I found her looking particularly comfy on the couch opposite of mine. I didn't have the heart to make her move, but when I woke up again at 6:30 to give her her meds, she was off of the couch. She's definitely managing to get around. When she walks, she touches with her front left but doesn't use it to hold much weight at all. When she gets going a bit quicker, she avoids using it altogether and bounces on three legs. She's still not quite clear on the dimensions of her cone, but she's getting better and we don't have to help her maneuver through doorways or around corners quite as much as before.
This morning she will be at the vet again. I'll have to check with my brother to see how she was as they were getting her there. Cross your fingers that her wounds still look okay after 48 hours away from the vet! If we could get on an every-other-day schedule, that would be amazing.

If she continues to do so well, she'll get to shift to a Monday-Thursday schedule which would be awesome. Cross your fingers that she'll be there by Easter weekend so we won't have to worry about finding a vet at the lake to change her bandages.
