She’s still got a little hitch in her giddy-up, but I’m really happy with the progress she’s made after her TTA surgery.

Piglet and Franny
Piglet loves bags. LOVES them. He didn’t even let me finish emptying this one before he started crawling into it.
Poisonous Piglet
Beware of cats bearing hourglass shapes on their bellies. They are BAD NEWS.
Staple Free!
Frances is still on restricted activity, aside from slow leash walking and her physical therapy. Her official re-check and post-op x-rays are scheduled for the 26th, so we’ll know more then, but for now it all looks good.
She still hates her crate, but will go in it if she has to. Last night, I put her in it for her own protection. She would not stop fun policing the cats, which involved her launching herself after them every time they did something bad. Which is approximately every 30 seconds.
Pigtail
He sleeps with his tail curled like that ALL THE TIME.
Shiny Dog Is Shiny
She seems to be recovering well. I think? It’s just so damn hard for me to tell, because I have nothing to compare this with.
Piglet Percival Smith
I’m not always a total asshole, but when I am, I like to kick the fat cat out of her bed and then gloat about it.
One Week Post-Op
Because it’s all about Franny, these days, here’s more about Franny. At a week post-op, she’s walking well, stretching out her woe leg on her own, and occasionally she’s even lying in the frog dog position. As of yesterday, per the vet’s instructions, she’s off all pain meds, too.
I am in awe of how fast dogs heal, and of how fast they start to shrug things off. They’re truly amazing.
Lapful of Piglet
I think the cats are getting short-changed, because all my attention has been focused on Frances. Piglet has taken matters into his own hands and decided to stake his claim on my lap. He’s a very sweet boy, when it suits him.
Tornado Warning
I got home on Monday, just in time for the tornado sirens to go off. I was afraid that would happen before Frances was allowed to do stairs. I couldn’t take her down to the basement, so we waited it out in the bathroom. Not ideal. Also, NOT COMFORTABLE. Next time, I’m going to have to take a kitchen chair in there with me. Sitting on the side of the tub got old FAST.
