maggie did good at the vet today. She told me to massage it and to get her up every couple of hours.

She is doing real well. She seems restless. But, then again, so am i. Too much sitting around the last couple weeks.

she was funny today. At the vets we were waiting in the little room, i got up to use the bathroom i put my pocketbook on the chair so that she knew i wasn't leaving without her shut the door behind me and ran to the bathroom. I came out and everyone was laughing as maggie escaped out of the room and was belining it to the front door. She thought i was going to leave her again! Everyone got a big kick of the three leged dog running by.

All and all it was a good day. We are both ready to get out!

The swelling was edema due to her not getting up enough and putting pressure on the back leg.

It is gone today but she is easily overworked. She was before this operation. Now it is even harder. It has been hot here the last few months and we havent been able to do anything.

She is 12. I went on a walk today and rethought my decision. I am not sure it was the right thing. She lived for exercise, walking, the woods, swimming. Now we are confined to our back yard and small jaunts. That is not what she likes.

I don't know…………………..
