I so gald that she's on the mends. It will get easier and better, I promise you.
We pretty much held Hot Rod most of the time that we were home and awake. I would bring his crate up to our bedroom and put it so he could see me. He finally would settle down and go to sleep. He did wake me up a few nights. Those were rough but once I held him close, he settled right down. It's amazing how they have us wrapped around their little paws.
Give Nina a big hug from all of us.
