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.

The Uncrate

Miss Franny refuses to enter her crate, even when it’s full of chicken. Since she must be confined while she recovers from surgery, I had to get creative. This is the space where the bedroom, bathroom, and living room doorways meet. By closing doors and baby gating doorways, I was able to create an uncrate for Frances. It’s not her favorite thing in the world, but she tolerates it.

One of the staples is a little wonky, but everything looks nice and clean and dry.

Apparently this is comfortable?

She is having ups and downs. She’s not interested in drinking water, so I’m spiking it with tuna and boiled ground chicken and serving it to her warmed. Her appetite has been okay, but this morning she only ate half her breakfast, so it could be better. All that is to be expected, I think. She’s touching her toes to the ground a fair bit, which is good, but this evening, she started carrying her leg up. That worried me, but then when I took her out to potty, she put her toes on the ground again. Not the most fun roller coaster.

This is going to be a looooooooong 12 weeks.
