emmie...post surgery...

she tore a ligament in her knee and had to have surgery. after a couple stressful days at the vet clinic, she's finally home and on the mend. it's amazing how your pets become so much a part of your family. so much so...that i slept on the couch last night just to be close to her (my bedroom is on the second floor and obviously, she can't climb stairs right now). i was, seriously, up all night checking on her...just like i would my own child. it's official...my dog is part of my family...too bad we can't put her on our family medical policy. :O)





i love the way she has her head tilted here...she was listening to the kids talk about her...so sweet...


behold....the elizabethan collar
i nearly fell over laughing when i saw this monstrous thing! thankfully she has left her leg alone and we haven't had to put it on her. if the need arises though...surely i will have pictures to post. :O)
