My boy was released from the hospital on Wednesday evening. He stayed with the in-laws until Friday night. We all agreed it was a good idea to let him do some healing without having to be around the herd of other dogs. He is acting like normal, just not eating as much. He slept with me all night last night. Its nice to have him home. I don't think I could have handled the alternative. They cut him from his breast bone all the way down. I took this picture because I was in shock at how swollen he was and the bruising. The bruising came from them giving him some local anesthesia and they hit a vein while doing it. The swelling is almost gone, but his skin is really stretched out. He has a ton of staples holding him together. When I looked at in the hospital I almost got sick. It make me very queasy. I have to take him out on a leash and he can't run and jump around, but he is definitely getting better. Now we just have to make sure that he doesn't eat things he's not suppose to.
The in-laws left for Virginia this morning. They are visiting their daughter's family for the week. It is amazing how much we rely on them to help us out. I have to make sure that I leave work on time this week because I don't have anyone to let the dogs out for me if I'm late. Also, my father in law waters the horses and cows every other day. It is a huge help to us, so the help will be sorely missed this week.
I picked up the new Quiltmaker magazine this week. It has an article from Bonnie Hunter on how to use up all those pesky scraps. I'm going to have to use her system because I have a ton of scraps that need something to do. I've got scraps from the very first quilt I made. I've just been throwing them in a huge basket all these years. Now I have something to do with them.
Oh, also the cow that escaped earlier this week came home. My husband went out that night to see if he came back and he was standing at the fence waiting to go in with the rest of them. Thank god.
Work is still crazy, but hopefully this next week we will be able to wrap up all the work. This past week we had a lady for our headquarters reviewing our files. Things went well until Thursday. We reviewed a group of files and found out that they were all wrong. We are now trying to figure out if they can be fixed or if the work will have to be terminated. On a positive note, the President has given all executive branch employees the day after Christmas off. Now hopefully our review will be done, so that we can all enjoy it.
