Kayleigh update...

Sounds like it went as well as it could have! She really sounds like she was getting relief by putting her head in the snow, poor girl. Can't wait to hear that she's back to her normal self! (except for the whole taking the vet's hand off thing) Thanks for the update, I was thinking about y'all today.

I don't think she would anymore. When she first arrived, Kayleigh had some serious issues, particularly with men. It took a long time and a lot of work, particularly from Stuart, to convince her that not all men were going to beat her. It's been over three years since she actually showed any aggression towards a person. Other animals, well, that's never going to change so we just manage it.

She was not nearly as excited about going to her off-leash area as she usually is. She stayed beside me so much that I put her back on her leash early!

This is what she did most of the time. She always loves snow, but I think today it felt good on her face.

Watching some ravens. Normally she'd be chasing them.

Ready to go back to the truck. It's not really clear in this picture, but you can kind of see the lump on the far side of her face. It's right under her eye.

She's pretty pathetic tonight. Not doing much and even took her time eating her soaked kibble. Kayleigh never takes her time eating!

Only a few more days till you feel much better, Kayleigh! You sure were a good girl for your mom & the vet, keep it up!

You look pretty happy, considering!

Aww sweetie your face looks so swolen

I bet that snow did feel good on it.
Hopefully in a few days you'll be back to woofing your food down and chasing those ravens again

Lots of love for you girl

Oh Kayleigh, poor sweetie. Rest and relax this weekend sweetie, all will feel better on Monday. Here's another gentle KISS for your swollen cheek.

Aw, poor girl! Good luck Kayleigh! They're so sweet and sucky post-surgery.

I also had to do the extra bloodwork for Kate. Man, it adds up!! I think between you and I - we're doing a good job at keeping those guys in business!!
