Zoee's knee- Update #34

Hugs to all of you!

Of course you also realize how lucky you are to have this option, for Zoe to be cared for w/ someone you know, and have the chance to heal. Missing her is one thing; worrying about who she is with just would add SO MUCH to that burden.

Prayers for Zoe to heal up completely on her stay w/ Grandma!

Thanks everyone!!

Sandie, you are so right. I am very lucky to have my mom not far from me (only 1 1/2 hours) and am lucky she is not working. Zoee will get better care there than at home with me.........under normal circumstances.

So, one of the volunteers at ARF had a great idea. I did not even think about it. But she suggested to take Taggart to the dog park. DUH! We never go to the dog park because I can't handle both of them by myself with Zoee being so leash reactive. And I feel bad taking only one at a time. Bruce never wants to go with me either.

When I got home from ARF this evening I fed Taggart and we headed to the park. It's only about 5 minutes from our house. He had SOOOO much fun!!! He ran around for about 30 minutes. He basically adopted another couple that was there with their Corgi. We will definitely be doing this several more times over the next three weeks. And I am thinking about what I can do with Zoee for one-on-one time so I can continue to take Taggart to the park.

I talk to my mom everyday on my commute home. So I will definitely keep this thread up to date with info on Zoee. I know she already went for a swim today too. So glad the weather is nice enough for that.

Aw, poor Zoee with her boo-boo knee. *Sigh* I hate to see Mz Logan favor one side due to hip dysplasia, so I know how your heart is breaking. Thank God you have your mom, that's so awesome and lucky! I hope swimming helps her recover. I know your house seems so empty without her.

Yay Taggart at the dog park! Sounds like he fell in love and oddles of fun! Smart move!!!

Hugs to all!!

Talked to my mom today and Zoee was having some swim time. She doesn't stay in the pool though. She gets in, swims a few strokes, gets out and shakes all over my mom. Gets almost all dry then gets back in the pool to do it again.

I made the mistake of talking to her over the phone. She then began looking in the house for me.

I won't be doing that again. Poor girl. But she is no doubt loving all the attention she is getting from my mom.

I think she will be good as new by Easter (April 24th).

The house is SOOO quiet without her. But Taggart did bark earlier when our neighbors friend was out front. Good Boy!!!

Of course the difference with him is he stops when we tell him to. Zoee........not so much.
