Abi

On Thursday morning Aaron noticed Abi had a hematoma on her ear. She had one 5 years ago. She either shook or kicked her head too hard to cause a blood vessel to break. Either way she needed to have surgery. Aaron dropped her off yesterday morning at the vet. Natalie was very concerned about Abi going to the doctor. She even said she wanted to go to the doctor with Abi. Surgery went well but she needed to stay overnight. We had playgroup yesterday afternoon and we got home after Aaron was home. Natalie thought Abi would be home by then so she started asking about her. We had to explain to her that Abi was still at the doctor. Izzie had no idea anything was different. Parker was very upset. He was very down all day and spent most of the day in the laundry room. He looked really sad last night. I can't remember the last time they were not together.

This morning Aaron went with Natalie to pick Abi. She was very happy to be home. She looks good although she has a whole bunch of stitches on her ear. She has to wear one of those funny collars but she is actually doing well without it. She just needs to be under supervision when she is not wearing it to make sure she does not kick her ear and pull the stitches out.

Yesterday the house felt weird without her. Sometimes the dogs make me crazy but I missed her yesterday. I am glad she is home and she is ok. Hopefully she won't need this again. We are going to try to get her on some hypoallergenic diet and see if that helps her itchy skin and her constant ear infections.

Here are some pictures of Abi's ear.









Also I had to take a picture of this. This is what happens when Aaron dresses Natalie.......
