Gracie is an angel. Her damage total is very light. She shredded a piddle pad. She tore holes into the little bag in which they stuff newspapers when it rains. That’s about it.
A puppy, on the other hand, can be a little whirlwind. I spent the weekend puppy proofing the house. Fortunately, I already had cabinet locks and outlet covers in case the nephews and niece visit. I added a few extra throw rugs in the basement. Since the little guy has a bum leg, slippery floors would exacerbate the problem. I still have more things to do. I have a few low-lying things that will definitely be plundered if not properly stowed.
I also bought a tiny harness and collar for him. It is not fancy stuff. I could not resist. I bought a little sweater too to keep him warm, but I think it is too big. He is a tiny fellow.
I received a status report from his foster mom. She said he was neutered last week. The surgery went well. She also said his leg seems to be getting better. The muscle tone is showing an improvement. Let’s hope the improvements continue. It would be great if the leg could be saved. No offense to tripods!
I am still waiting for the all clear for the puppy slumber party. As soon as I have a date, I will let you know. For now, I need to pay attention to Ms. Gracie. Because of the heavy rain, she was deprived of her twice daily speed runs. She is feeling feisty.
