In preparation for Brinkley coming home this evening I spent the night last night cleaning the house up and getting everything post surgery ready. I bought two 3x5 rugs yesterday to go on the linoleum in front of the sliding door so she doesn’t slip when we go outside. I put up an x-pen in the living room so she can be around us when we are home, but she will still need to be crated when we aren’t home. I'm forseeing sleeping in the floor with her the first few nights, but we'll see how it goes.
When I pick her up they are supposed to give me a harness that goes under her abdomen so I can help her walk and an e-collar, but I’m hoping we won’t have to use either of those much. I hate those giant plastic e-collars, and I’m sure that’s what they have ready for her. I purchased one of the donut type inflatable ones that should fit her in case we need to use it instead.
Here is the setup I have ready for her. I hope the drive home goes well. We’re expecting some snow and it will be rush hour St. Louis traffic I’m driving back through, so it will probably be a long ride home.
