Big day around Ruby-land. Bright and early today Ruby had her stitches out. She’s been a model patient, never really trying to lick or chew on her incision. While the scar still looks pretty big – it really looks much better than even a few days ago and her fur seems to be growing back pretty quickly. She jumped up the curb in front of the vet’s and back down it on our way out. I haven’t really let her attempt any steps yet. When we got home we figured it was a good time to test the doggie door – I went on the other side of the door and called her – she hopped right through! As I’ve been told, these tripawds can really do more than some of us give them credit for. I had a great video of the event but in my excitement, deleted it. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to do a re-shoot . . . She’s getting back to much more of her routine – not sleeping quite as much – and walking/hopping better and better each day.
