I have one very tired, very medicated Great Dane girl here with me in the living room! Layla was spayed today, & she is handling it so well! She has a good 5-6 inch incision on her tummy, but she isn't bothering with it at all, which means she doesn't have to wear the "lampshade" :)She was quite a sight when I got her home, though. Poor sweetie even fell over while going potty outside! Those anesthetics got her good! She's doing a lot of crying, especially when I leave the room, but really, she's a trooper!! What a good girl!
The vet told me that Layla's recovery time will be between 10 & 14 days! After 5 days, though, Layla should be feeling back to her normal self, but she still needs to stay pretty low key. Don has a 4-day this weekend (WAHOO!) & we considered going somewhere, but we have decided instead to stay around the house & take care of Pony. It's worth it! And four days together, whether at home or out exploring, is always wonderful! Hope that you all are having a truly fabulous week so far! It sure feels like fall here, & I love it! Many of the trees have beautiful leaves in shades of red, orange, & yellow now. The nights are getting quite chilly (you can see I have brought in my bougainvillea!), the days have been overcast & rainy, & you can feel winter on its way! Soon, I'll be in Uggs & coats! It makes me wonder...
Will Layla need one of these?!!
Now, please know that I am most definitely not the type to dress up my dog! But I really have heard that because Great Danes have such short hair, they get cold veeery veeeeeery easily! And so, maybe Layla will need a sweater! Although, I can't seem to find one... I'll keep looking. If there's anywhere cold enough for her to need to bundle up, I know Germany will be it! ♥ And...it is kinda cute!
