Diana is home! Her first wish was to go in her beloved yard and pee twice - to reclaim her territory, I suppose. She does not want to be in the house for now, so if she behaves, we will let her lie outside for a while. We reinforced the latch on the gate where she got out, so she should be safe in the yard.
She walks stiffly, but otherwise seems fine. She still has the bright red stitches in her eye. They'll come out in about five days. Don't feel bad about the eye, because the vet was talking about taking it out anyway, since the sight was gone, and we were not able to control the pressure in her eye with glaucoma medication.
I don't have a digital camera, nor a scanner, so the picture above is the best I can do for now. I will take more pictures and post another when I can.
UPDATE: She's back inside, resting quietly, as they say, on her pillow.
UPDATE 2: Diana's picture disappeared, so I uploaded this one, which is not the original.
Welcome home, Diana.
ReplyDeletePiskie, we were going to put up a big welcome sign, but we haven't been able to teach her to read - yet.
ReplyDeleteHoooray! very good news.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that you already know this, but it is always worth mentioning that lots of kisses make any doggy feel so much better.
Oh, yes, Dennis, kisses are healing. The gate in the background of the picture is where she got out.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! Yay!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the picture. Aren't you still relieved after your scare about which eye it was?
ReplyDeleteHey, Oyster! Yes, great news.
ReplyDeleteLapin, I am relieved. Just thinking about an 11 year old dog getting hit by a car and surviving is a wonder. And that she wasn't hurt worse!
YAY! Welcome home sweet Diana!
ReplyDeleteThat is good news. Nothing like being reminded of the pleasure of simple things.
ReplyDeleteI am relieved to learn the picture is not current. Living in Seattle, and it being the end of November, I was very disoriented by the bright light in the yard. Does it frighten you?
Eileen, KJ, thanks.
ReplyDeleteKJ, sorry to startle you with the light. I know your eyes are not acclimated.
yes, welcome home.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! My cats and I are thrilled that Diana is home with her family.
ReplyDeleteWe're thrilled, too. My grandchildren have been giving her love, but we gave her her pain medicine, and now she's gone to sleep.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Diana. You look much like our dog Cisco, who is a dear one like you are.
ReplyDeleteThis news makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteShe's snoozing away right now.
ReplyDeleteThis is great,great news! I am happy and relieved for you. She'll no doubt heal even faster now that she is home where she belongs.
ReplyDeleteI am going now to your post on St. Andrew. I was going to write something this morning but was feeling lazy an knew I could count on you!
Lindy
Lindy, Diana is glad to be home. I can tell.
ReplyDeleteI was lazy about St. Andrew, too. I found a painting and sent folks over to Padre Mickey, along with a wee commentary.
The Mu-man and I are so glad that Diana is home. We and our pets are so miserable when we are apart. She. like all of us, will be much more comfortable in familiar surroundings and in the loving arms of her family.
ReplyDeleteBoocat, that's quite generous of you and Mu-man, especially if you are aware of Diana's opinion of cats.
ReplyDeleteSo, how did i miss this yesterday? Great news! I'm so glad that she is home and able to find her 'spot!'
ReplyDeleteOffTopoc, but I have permission, don't I?
Have you seen Clumber's Advent greeting?
I am using the Kleenex just thinking about it!
Susan, she spent much of the day lying down outside, occasionally taking a short walk.
ReplyDeleteI see that her picture has disappeared. I'll try to upload it again. Then I'll go visit the old dog, Clumber.
I see her picture now. What a sweet looking little thing.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Diana and all of you. She is home- that is great news.
ReplyDeleteFran, thanks. She's still resting quietly most of the time.
