My beautiful Bonnie finally got her sutures out this morning and now is medicine-free, not to mention pain-free! She’s healing well and will look so cute when her bangs grow back. She doesn’t need her Elizabethan cone anymore and we don’t have to worry about any infection of her surgical area. She’s back to her normal, sometimes growly self, but loving life, Snoopy, Shea, and me. She loves her walks and car rides as per usual, and for me, despite missing her very expressive eyes, it’s much easier to look at her healing face and eyelids without the sutures that she’s had for two weeks. It’s wonderful to know she won’t need 22 drops a day and other oral medications that cost a lot of money for years on end, not to mention the difficulty of scheduling these maintenance periods throughout the day that interfered with my aspiration for an otherwise low-maintenance lifestyle. I still have a gofundme if anyone is interested in helping pay for that bilateral enucleation, but thank you so much to those who contributed toward that one-time expense to give Bonnie a much higher quality of life as an otherwise healthy, blind dog! 🙂
Double row this morning, including a choppy “skills” row with Shea in the boat. I was Port Stroke, which was I think the first time ever in that position. We made it most of the way across the Carquinez Strait to the C&H Sugar Factory.
Had a great time at the Vallejo Thursday August Night last night. The live music in both intersections was impressive and very engaging with the crowd.
Had a great weekend when my daughter visited from where she currently lives in Florida. It’s much nicer to hang out in person than just on Zoom. She knows I’ll always lobby for her to move back to the Bay Area though.
Here we are jointly saying hello to our family members in Italy:
