Sophie is home from surgery! She is already hopping around all over! It is really weird… she has a wrap thing on the good leg that she sitill has so that leg is sort of stuck straight, but she is like draggint it behind, and her front muscles have already gotten so strong, she looks like a muscle man LOL and she is just walking around like nothing draggin the good leg so she doesnt bend it! No complaints with the amputated leg yet. She has already came home and peed and pooped YAY HURRAY! She has pink stitches, and a red wrap on her little leg! aww mommy is so happy to have her home it feels good to haveh er home, and it feels even better to have her home and be pretty much asking like her normal spunky self. At the vet they had pigs ears for sale and she was so happy to have that special treat oh my gosh! The vet said, i dont think she will want to eat or do anything today, she was so excited tail (stub) flappin tongh giving me a bath when i grabbed that, she was trying to bite it out of my hand while i was holding her! It definitely feels good just to feel the love and knwo she is back in my arms. I am rambling and I am sorry for that. I thought like some way some how she would be differnt or act different, or seem different to me, or i would feel sorry for her or,,,,, actually, I am not really sure what i felt, but now, i feel a sense of contentment and peace. I am happy she is home, and 100% she is still my SOPHIE GIRL!
So glad to hear that Sophie is home. They often come home all excited and happy and seeming just fine, only to crash the next day. I think it’s the pain meds and adrenalin that keep them going that first day home, but they wear off, and you realize this is pretty major surgery, and it will be some time before they are fully healed. Be sure and don’t let her over-do it, because that can cause a setback in her healing.
Best wishes for a boring, but speedy, recovery!

I think you are doing just fine with this blogging thing. It is new for me too.
I am happy to hear Sophie received the care she needed in a timely fashion. It is especially good to have her home. My Shadow boy had his surgery March 21 and I notice he will surprise me with energy and exuberance at times. I think the best advice is what Rio’s momma, Micki said, just be careful she doesn’t over-do it.
