It's been a hot minute since I've posted. Thought I'd start a new thread since I'm no longer "freaking out". I still can't figure out the picture thing, but truthfully I've been too busy to just sit down & look at it & try.

Sierra has been doing really really well! She is loving her Physical Therapy appointments. She's going twice a week. This is week #3 of them & I dropped her off this morning. She pulls me in the door, and collects treats from the receptionist while she waits to be taken back. It's good to see this since this is the same facility where her leg was amputated & she was checked in for a few days when she was in pain with the back leg infecion. She's let that go & is happy to see her friends. The PT is really paying off. She is actually running in (super) short spurts now.

I bought a ramp / step for my couch to help her up & down. Of course the turd won't use it. But her four legged sisters love it. Sheesh! And yesterday I was working on paperwork at about bedtime in the dining area & noticed her not around. I found her in bed looking quite satisfied with herself. We have no ramp. Brat! I fussed at her. She knows to wait for me to pick her up & put her in. I'm gonna have to figure something out. Hate to lock them out of my room during the day, but I don't want to chance her jumping down from my bed by herself.

We are moved in to our one level apartment. The unpacking / organizing continues at a slow but steady pace. We have carpet runners & non skid mats everywhere, but as she's improving, she is venturing off of them with no problems.

One thing that has me on edge is her sister India. She has a lump at the top of her left hip (and you know how us cancer mama's are... we jump right to the worst conclusion). Well, her vet looked at it about 2 months or so ago & said it's just a fatty cyst. But it feels too hard to me to be that. Now I'm noticing her stumbling occasionally in her back legs. And yesterday I noticed her picking her back left leg up and then putting it down. It was slight. Almost like a nervous tick. So I'm calling the vet this morning & seeing when I can get her in. Please send my India baby some positive vibes!

I'll update soon I promise! Hugs to all!
