Ava Recovered & Weeds Are Gone

Tomorrow will be 10 days from her spay surgery. That was how long she was suppose to wear the cone, all walks by a leash, contained if not confined. The cone went off a day or two after she got home. She did drag the leash around if I wasn't walking her for about a week. She would lay down and show me her scar without me asking every day. That has healed completely with another five days of antibiotics. She has been "rough housing" with Watson and Henry for the past couple of days. You will notice her left leg where the cut was, has healed also without any swelling. She should be good to go now for the next 10-15 years.

A Lot Done These Past Two Days

By nature I think I am pretty pro-active. I might be lazy at times but once I decide to do something I am pretty focused on getting things done. I've been that way for as long as I can remember. Today was one of those days, which I will explain after I show you what happened yesterday.

A Long Day Watching TV

I'm old. I've seen a lot, experienced some. Until today I had never ever watched a Congressional Hearing from start to finish, even a video of it later. So by the time I write this on Monday, the day is almost over but still time to hopefully get some outdoor photos. That doesn't mean it was a boring or quiet day ... oh no!!

Ava Continues To Improve

I DO understand there is a lot of news going on but many of us are keeping a close eye on Ava. It all started for her on the June 30th blog where my kitchen looked like an episode in the old tv series called Dexter. I have all the seasons on my DVD shelf. For the viewers that wonder about that show ... most I know felt Season 4 was the best and then the other 4 seasons were never has good. There were subtle changes. Well just some trivia ... After Season 4 of Dexter, their writers took another job on a brand new series called Breaking Bad. That is also on my DVD shelf.

Ava Needs A Med To Calm Down

Ava was not hyper but as she started feeling better, she wanted to wrestle Henry and Watson ... not good to heal. She wanted to trot or run ... not good for healing inside organs. 10 Days requirement to keep calm and restricted if not with me ... is 10 days, no matter what. So last night as you see wasn't much different than Thursday night ... but things changed Saturday morning.

An Interesting Day As Ava Heals

The interest all started last night after spending some time outside in the cool weather. I needed to fix dinner, Ava still needed leashed or confined. So she helped me out. While standing in the kitchen I decided to let go of the leash and see where she would go and if she would try to trot. She walked in the crate and laid down, she had made the choice for me.

Ava Recovering From Being Spayed

I picked Ava up yesterday and arrived home a little after 5pm. The hounds and dog were thrilled to see her as they surrounded her sniffing her face in the garage before climbing a few short steps into the house. I was going to have to come up with a plan to keep them away, to let her rest and at the same time following the instructions of nothing more than 10 days of walking leashed.

AT&T Fiber Internt Plot Changes

It was a long day today and as I sit here at 4:09pm CST, it is hard to believe it basically is over ... but the fun has just begun for the next 10 to 14 days. I have SO MUCH to write tonight that I didn't want to put it off and I had time since Ava is sleeping off her anesthesia from her spaying surgery this morning. I will start with her story since it is a lot more important than my AT&T internet story ... BUT ... you might want to stick around for that story because it ... is ... just ... unbelievable !!!!!

A Busy But Calm Day

First of all, the photos tonight are of no particular order, but will give you a good idea I think that all of us had a busy but calm day. There were no phone calls today so being on hold for hours didn't happen. With my payment to AT&T for their "balance due" on their free phone they gave me, processed and showing $0 on their site, I started the process to port my number and phone to Spectrum Mobile mid-morning.

A Totally Unbelievable Day!!!
