Well, I think were all good now so I think this will be the last update for a while. Today she woke up great this morning, went out to do her morning poopy, walked around the yard a little, and when Gizmo took off running up the hill towards the house for his traditional snack, Chia knew what was up and took off running up the hill much to our joy and concern she would hurt herself all at once! It looks like she is going to be just fine now.
Our biggest issue now is holding her down. She jumped on the couch! BAD! Tried to play with a toy (a little), not cool. We need to prevent her from stressing her stitches and staples. It is simply amazing that just 90 hours after the attach that gave her a 50 / 50 chance to survive, a few hundred stitches and staples later, a good 50% of her body stitched, stapled or bruised, that she was actually RUNNING this morning. Imagine one of us with 50% of or body beat up!
Again, Thanks so much to everyone that posted, replied, PM, E mailed, and called, or those who even followed quietly. I think there is something like 300 reply post combined on a few boards I go to, and 1000s and 1000s of page views for people just checking in. This extended family is incredible, and words cannot describe how thankful Lisa, michael and myself are for all the support.
I know it just a dog, but damn it, we did not need this **** right now, I got cars to build!
I have a final update picture from this evening when I arrived home. Mrs Chibby was a little sore and did not get up real fast, so we just laid together a while, and of coarse Gizmo wanted to make sure I knew he was there too!
Maybe in a couple months when Chia's hair grows back in I can toss up a coupe WhatYaThinkOfMeNow pics!
Thanks again.
Frank, Lisa and Micahel Serafine
