Abbey had her surgery yesterday. Now in recovery. She will have to take a easy for a few weeks. Basically she has been sleeping since she got home. You do feel bad for them.

Glad to hear she's had the surgery and that it went well! Poor thing, it must be difficult when you can't explain what's going on.

Oh and good luck with getting her to take it easy ;)

Hope she has a speedy recovery. I'm surprised there's no lampshade on her to keep her from digging at the stitches

When I am with her we take the hood off to give her a break from t being on. We do not have the plastic lamp shade style, we have one that looks like a airplane pillow around her neck. You blow it up with air, works great and she does not walk into as many things like with the plastic cones.

Hope she heals up fast and well, but how do you make a dog take it easy?

Not easy at all. I just keep her on a leash which really helps. It is okay if she puts weight on it, just want to avoid to much jumping and running. I carry her up and down the steps which helps a bit. Where I live we just let them out the door and they go running off leash. We have a fence system so they never leave the yard. When I get home my wife usually lets them out and they run down to see me at the truck, but not no more. We keep her in the house and then only on leash. About 8 weeks.
