Sunny Pupdate (@7/31/22)

 

 

 10 days post surgery and Sunny is doing great. Lots of snuggles on the couch.

 

 She doesn't show much interest in licking her incision, so we've downsized from the large "cone of shame"  to a donut collar.

 

 

 We're doing "stretchy-flexy" exercises 2-3 times of day.

 

 

 Her incisions are healing VERY nicely!

 

 

 

 ....and the swelling has gone down almost  completely!

 

Now.....to come up with ideas on how to keep Sunny's  mentals occupied, without stimulating too much of her physicals!

 

 

 

 

Nature Friday - Under the Sea

Under the Sea

by Rosy

 

What fun it would be 

to live under the sea,

With Nemo, Crush and the Mermaid FiFi.

 

We'd swim around with the turtles 

Be friends with the sharks

We'd see the squid, Squirtle

and stay up after dark.

I'm not sure about dinner tho, what would it be?

No fishies, or crabbies or lobster I eat.

Where are the cookies, the jerky and crunchies?

Looks like I'll have to go home when I get the munchies!

Thankful Thursday - Sharky Style

 

Today, Sunny wanted us to tell you how thankful for all the POTP everyone sent her way. She is powering through her recovery so far, and we know part of that is because of the power of prayer and pawsitivity! 

 

Now it's up to Mama and Daddy to slow Sunny down so she doesn't over do it!

BOL!

Sunny Shark Aaaws - Plus a Pupdate

 

Let Shark Week begin!!!

Sunny Pupdate @7/25

(Arriving Home and Establishing a routine)

I'll be documenting Sunny's recovery here on Mondays, (after a cute Aaaw-worthy picture Sunny of course). If you continue please note, I'll be showing her incision healing progress toward the end of the post.

 

 We were very impressed with the detailed post op instructions given to us by the surgeon's assistant. He explained in detail everything we needed to do for Sunny during the next 2 weeks. She will go in for her first post op check up August 9th(about 2 weeks from now). 

 

After a short ride home from the surgeon's office on Saturday...

 

 

....Sunny arrived home safe as sound, albeit a bit naked, and chilly.

 

 

 

 We put an extra blanket in her crate after seeing that she didn't mind being covered up.

 

 

 We are icing the incision areas 2-3 times a day for the first week.

 

 

 

 Sunny has been cooperative most of the time but her left leg has been very sensitive and painful. This is making it difficult to ice for more than a couple of minutes at a time. After icing, we flex/stretch her back legs to keep her muscles conditioned. She does stand on her own, and we keep her crated and coned to ensure she doesn't move around too much.

 

 

We have a sling to help her get around. It is a big help keeping her weight distributed and lets us support her weight, especially when she goes potty. We are doing 3-5 outside potty walks a day, no more than 3-5 minutes each.

WARNING: GRAPHIC WOUND SIGHTS BELOW

 

 

 

 

Her right knee looks good, a bit red and a little swollen, not bad for 36 hours after surgery.

 

 

 

 

 Her left knee is a bit more knarly, more of what we expected to see 36 hours after surgery. She is also favoring this knee/leg a bit more.

 

 

We're keeping an eye on both incisions and will report any issues to the Vet if needed. They warned us things would probably look worse before they got better.

 

Besides wanting to spend more time up and about, Sunny is being a very good patient so far! 

She is on a variety of pain killers and suppressors, along with an anti-inflammatory. All of these help keep her calm and sleepy most of the time.

Sunny Update

 

 

 At about 4pm MST yesterday Sunny had her surgery. According to Dr. Freeman, her surgeon, it went "Pawfectly"! She stayed at the hospital last night, and will continue her stay today and this evening. This is to ensure she is medicated, if needed, and comfortable enough to go potty at home.

 

We can't wait to pick her up at 9:30am tomorrow! Although, that's when our hard work begins.

 

Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers, we will keep you updated on her progress.

 

 

 

Nature Friday Through the Years

 

 Happy Nature Friday and thank you for helping me celebrate my 5th birthday this week! Mama says it was a "milestone" birthday and worth a whole week of "look back" sort of posts! 

To wrap up the "look back" week, here is a collection of Birthday Nature Friday posts!

 

 

 

Here I am on my birthday trip to Carmel by the Sea, CA

Always stopping to smell the flowers(and the peemail BOL)!

I celebrated my 1st Birthday with the 

Dahlias at Sequoia Gardens

 

 

 

My 3rd Birthday I spent seeing the Rosy Roses at the Humboldt Botanical Gardens!

Thankful for Family and Friends

Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes. I had a nice quiet birthday, and hope to have a family pawty once Sunny is back home and feeling better.

 

 

On this Birthday Week Thankful Thursday, I want to say how thankful I am for my family and friends!

 

 

 I was lucky to have Angel Arty as my awesome big brother and travel buddy. I still still miss him a bunch.  Mama and I like to sit and look back at pictures and videos remembering the fun times we had together.

 

 

Jakey and Sunny are great siblings can't wait to get back to  going on lots more adventures when we get back to traveling in CeCe next year!

 

 

Most of all, I am very lucky to have such a pawsome Daddy(and Mama). Mama and I have lots of fun together and I just love being a Daddy's girl! 

 

 

I have also met a few of our Blogville friends in  the furs!!

We had a Mini Bar in 2019, and I got to meet my Uncles Murphy and Stanley along with Angel Arty's Best Gal Mabel!

 

I got to meet Bailie and Madison from My GBGV Life, when I was at BlogPaws in

 2018! 

 

 

 I met Koru Bear for the first time at BlogPaws too.  He is Angel Sugar's little brother

and I have been lucky enough to see him(and his brother Kenzo) through the years when we visit Carmel, California!

 

My most memorable Golden meeting, of course, was my first kiss with Angel Declan.

 

 

I am so thankful for all our friends who stop by and see us during the week. We have all laughed and cried together.  I have made so many friends, not only in person, but virtually in Blogville during the past 5 years. We are thankful for each and every one!  

 

We thank YOU for taking the time to stop by and see us!
