Update on Abbey.  Well the vet never called in pain med refills for her tramadol so she's been just taking her gabapentin since Saturday morning.  I didn't sleep at all Saturday for fear that she would be in pain and scared all night.  She seemed to be pain free as far as I can tell.  If she is hurting, she isn't letting on.  Still getting plenty of rest and we are excited for her staples to get out in a few days!  Her sister can't wait to snuggle up with her again!  Yesterday she was taking a nap on her bed in our living room so I took the opportunity to take the trash out.  In the less than 2 minutes I was gone, Abbey took it upon herself to get on the couch and look out the window!  I think she was fake sleeping to get her helicopter mom out of the room.  She scared the living daylights out of me!  I wouldn't let her get down on her own so I had to lift her off the couch.  I know she wants to be able to do those things so badly!  Can't wait till Thursday!

Abbey had her staples out yesterday and she has been doing AWESOME!!  We lowered her dosage of pain meds and she seems very content with her new dosage.  She laid on the couch yesterday and watched her birds outside for 2.5 hours straight.  She was in heaven!  She also got to spend time with her sister Harper and there was a lot of tail wagging and face licking.  It was one of the sweetest things ever!  We met with her oncologist yesterday and we are starting her chemo treatments next week.  Praying she tolerates it well!  I just got my normal sweet, loving girl back to her normal happy self and I would prefer to keep it that way!
