Well, here's an update on Kizzy.
Friday-day of spaying. On another planet, both of us. Woken during the night for feeds, a little at a time-she was so hungry, she was licking the spoon before I had it out of the tin!
Saturday- beginning to pick up-her, not me. Went for 2 short walks on the lead as instructed. Night time, she tried to climb on the sofa with me. She now understands the command 'off!' as it was repeated so many times. Back to sleep, and am awoken by her climbing over the arm of the settee, her paw holding down my head by my hair, and she then lay down over my head. The command 'off' that she had learned so well, made not the slightest difference.
Sunday- raring to go....her, not me

Longer walk, but still on lead. She doesn't move far from me, so was concerned when she went into the living room on her own and stayed there for some time.....She wouldn't be on the settee, would she.....??
Have tried to get a photo since of her on the settee, creeping through with the camera at the ready, but when I get there, she's climbed off, with a look on her face that says, 'what, me, on the settee? Never, I wouldn't do that, not when you told me not to.'
Just going to sneak in again.......
Gotchya!!

(This was a picture of her just getting off the settee)
So innocent....I was never on the settee, not after you'd told me not to....
Both had a peaceful night-brilliant- about 7 hours sleep!
Monday-not eating a lot because she's not burning off the energy on long walks. We've been out on two walks today on the lead and she's absolutely desperate to go and run with other dogs and play. Don't thinkshe understands why I won't let her off the lead. It's hard, because we meet on average about 15 dogs on the field at any one time.
Won't eat out of her bowl, so I'm putting her food in her Kong.She's only eating about half her usual amount. In character, she has reverted to her BS (before spaying) ways- throwing her bone around, dragging her fleece from one room to the other, emptied her box of toys

This was a picture with her toys strewn all over.
jumping about

The above was a video.
Her external stitches are ok, but I'm worried about the internal ones. Not a lot I can do. (just waiting for next Mon when the stitches come out......)
Watched video of Gracie's pups- kizzy was in the other room and came running in when she heard them and sat watching, really alert, with the tail giving an occasional wag. She still thinks it's better to be a spinster aunt than a mother.
Well, only another 7 days to go till we can get back to normal.......
Back to the photobucket tutorials- don't know why the photos are all the same
