Maggie is motivated today

Well,  today Maggie did a lot of firsts.  We let her sleep in, then I carried her down the stairs, but she walked to the water dish, drank some water, then out the door she went.  Before I got out, she went down the deck stairs out to the back yard.  WOW, she did a great job going down the stairs, to our surprise.  She did her #1, then decided to grunt out a #2….first #2 since her surgery, last tuesday.   She walked back into the house, ate her breakfast and medicine.   Then off to the couch.

She’s resting and taking it easy this morning.  It’s icy and snowy outside, too bad because Maggie loves the snow, but not this time, maybe next year.  Her wound looks good and the t-shirt seems like it is helping out, e.g. keeping the wound covered.

Maggie is a great trooper and slowing returning to her old self.

God Bless,  Marion

  1. Yaaaay for the first poop! I know it seems crazy to be so happy about that but what a relief for all of you, especially Maggie! It’s the first big indicator that things are on track for a smooth recovery. That and the way she tackled those stairs like nopawdy’s business. Yay!

  2. Goldens do it their way, that’s for sure!!
