Better and Better

Emme seems to get better and better. Her shaved rectangle on the back of her neck is growing more hair and now resembles a front lawn covered with snow. This makes things look much more normal. You can still easily see the incision and the stitches but not the raw, pink skin. This is an improvement.

Today she seems more itchy than the previous days. There is a lot of head shaking and attempts at scratching but she stops when told "No." She is handling taking care of her business without a collar and leash. She goes outside, takes care of business, and comes back to the porch quickly. Maybe I am worrying about nothing.

She is back to her noisy, protect-the-neighborhood-from-marauders self. She loves to be on the porch to keep an eye on things. The problem is, she thinks anything she can see is her business. She doesn't limit herself to her own backyard. The next door neighbors are getting a new roof so there are trucks and workers all over their yard. The fact that it is next door, doesn't deter Emme. She barks and growls to keep the invaders away. Needless to say, it was a long afternoon yesterday. Maybe they will be done this afternoon. Then Emme can lighten up. One can only hope.
