Happy Wiggly Tail

Grace slept like a log last night, we have her in between us at night, her in her own bed on top of our bed. I feel like she is safest in her own bed, it’s like a cocoon for her to snuggle in.

Did all her medicines this morning, she’s starting to wisen up that there might be antibiotics inside the canned food so it takes a bit longer to trick her into eating those. I will go see what I can use from the pet store to make it harder for her to detect that there is medicine inside the foods.

She knows her rights, when we come in from being outside she gets a treat, when I clean her nose crimple, do her eyes and her ears she gets a treat.

Her little body starts to relax more. The muscles are still a tiny bit tense but I’m trying to help that with walks and letting her rest. I think the daily pain killer will help a lot and of course now that all the bad teeth are taken out she will feel less pain.

She’s very different from Pugsley and in some ways similar which I find very comforting.

She follows me everywhere, if I go from the bed to get something she jumps off and follows me. She likes to be near me and I think would be happiest if I just carried her all the time and let her sleep on my lap.

We are still learning to walk together, she doesn’t know how to do that, she’s less scared on the street now but still hesitant. Also it’s hard to know when to take her outside, she must have been kept inside almost all the time or just peed next to her bed or something I really don’t know. We will learn as we go. Yesterday she sat in her bed and started to pee in it at the studio so I scooped her up and took her outside. So of course I smelt like wee all day….

I’m not that worried, I’m sure we will get everything sorted out in time. Worst case scenario is I buy something from the vet if she pees on the carpet.

She is sleeping now and seems very very happy.  She was all happy wiggly tail this morning when she woke up. It was lovely to see. I know we are going to have a wonderful adventure together.
