Belle had a pretty good weekend, lots visitors, and lots of love. Yesterday, day 5 post-op, was the first day I have seen the spark back in Belle’s eyes. We are increasing the time intervals between the Tramadol from 3 every 6 hours to 3 every 7-8 hours. She seems to be doing very well with it. We had a pretty good nights sleep, only a short panting period around 2am. Today, we are going to try decreasing the number of pills to 2 every 8 hours. Keep your finger crossed she does well. I really don’t think she is enjoying being in a drug haze, but I also don’t want her in any avoidable pain!
She was so proud of her boy as he was sworn in to “officially” become a lawyer. Brett received his Bar results last Tuesday, just as Belle was getting taken back for her surgery, it was a bitter sweet day for all of us. But yesterday, she smiled as his feet as he took his oath!

It sounds like Belle is doing well. 5 days is still really early on. She’ll be back in the pool in no time!

I remember I saw a lot of pink elephants when my pawrents had me on the Tramadol. It was nice for the pain, though. We weened off slowly, too.
Hope those visitors are giving you lots of belly rubs!
