Hi Heidi and Joe,

Hope you're well on your way to Utah with the "brood."   Just realized you probably don't have email access at the cabin.  I'm sure Cheryl will be calling, so, we'll have you covered either way.

Cammy is doing just fine.  At the moment, she's lying in her bed, fast asleep.  The bed is between us at the head of our bed.

She is settling in well.  Her appetite is ravenous, and the resulting digestive results are impressive.  Last night she barked to go out, and Cheryl says she already knows, "I'll pick you up."  That's not a surprise.  Today she got to check out her surroundings, and seems to love them.

She's taking the meds as scheduled, and there doesn't seem to be any more seepage.  I'm sure the Neosporin is helping.  I can see why you were concerned about the angle at which she's holding the leg.  I saw her doing it this morning, but I also saw it at a better angle later in the day.  As we discussed, under the circumstances, normal for Cammy will be what it will be.

She's so cute, it's scary.  We can't wait to get the cone off of her.  She's so adaptive, and HAPPY... !!  as are we...

Sky (our parakeet) was within a couple feet of her today, as he sat on my laptop screen, with Cammy asleep right next to me.  As long as she's not making any moves toward him, he's fine.  Cammy's recovery process will help him adapt to her.  She certainly hasn't affected his willingness to talk.

We put her to bed last night at about 9:30.  She yelped and whimpered a bit for about twenty minutes.  So, we put a nightlight on for her, and left the hall light on as well.  "We" were fine after that, and "we all" slept through the night.  We awakened her at about 7:30.  She did both, and finished a hearty breakfast...

When she's not sleeping we keep her with us, either in our arms, in her bed next to us, or in a nice sized penned area near us.  Because we have a fenced in yard, we can let her out without a leash.  She does her thing and immediately returns to the house.  Pretty impressive.

After 24 hours of caring for her, we're confident in our ability to support her needs, and how to respond to her.  She is a remarkable pup.

Thank you for your kind messages on your website.


Cheryl and Norm
