The joys of an invalid dog, with 2 crotchetty owners



We are making progress with our sweet Princess (aka Boo and Boo Bear). From the very forlorn pose of her return (above) after we took her to the vet, Friday, where her daddy ran her over in the dark, after thinking he had seen her come back into the house, she is now trying to walk on 3 legs, by herself. We had resorted to a folded towel, under her belly, like a sling, to offer support.

That first day, we treated her to her fave food, McDonald's cheeseburgers, but she just wasn't interested at all. Now she is eating fairly well, for which I am very thankful. I snuck her painkiller and anti-inflammatory into a Laughing Cow cream cheese triangle, and sandwiched it between 2 Lay's chips! Hate being sneaky but she fights trying to take it otherwise.

So glad she is on the mend. It will take about 6 weeks to heal, but at least she's on that journey.
