Daisy Update

Daisy had her surgery on Wednesday, and it went well. They pinned 2 of the 3 bones that were broken and said that the other two would support the 3rd one. She's in a new, little green cast now, and they pinned it so that if she put any weight on it she would feel pain. So, now she's hopping around like a 3-legged dog, but it hasn't slowed her down any. Andy's mom came by the other day and was surprised at how active she was despite the fact she had just had surgery. We're now learning to cope with the joys of an indoor pet - she's short-haired so she sheds like crazy, and she's not house broken since she's always been an outside dog. But, like I said, she's very obedient and smart, so we're staying optimistic about the potty training. As far as the hair, we bought a "professional" grooming tool (that's what it said on the package), but I sat and brushed her for what felt like an eternity yesterday and the hair on the brush never seemed to lessen. They also had to shave her leg and a spot on her back for something during the surgery, so she has even more loose hair in her coat right now. She's precious, though. She's just laying sweetly on the rug right now. Our new challenge is to send the bills to the neighbor. I have the voicemail where the lady called and apologized (and left her first and last name, her husband's name, and admitted to throwing the brick), so I haven't deleted that, and we're going to make copies of all the bills before we deliver them. Hopefully we don't have any major battles ahead of us. I have this dream of handing the bill over and the guy writing us a check write then, but I have a feeling it won't be so easy.
