Hi Randi! I'm so glad to hear that you have a ride lined up and I will pray that it comes through for you! Sounds like she is doing better and that is certainly good news!
One little warning about the playpen... you might want to put a net or blanket over the top to be on the safe side. When Bailey had her AAI surgery, everyone kept telling me to put her in a playpen to keep her safe so I did. Her surgery was on Weds and I brought her home on Friday. The doctors said that she needed to be left alone in a quiet environment as much as possible to let her body rest. Of course, she wanted to be with me constantly. Later in the afternoon, I put her in the playpen and closed the bedroom door. She barked and barked and barked and then I heard this "yelp" and then more barking... decided I needed to go see what the yelp was about; I opened the door and there she was standing on the floor wagging her tail as happy as could be! I literally felt my stomach come up to my throat and could not believe what just happened!!!! She had jumped out of the playpen!!!! Never had she ever jumped that high, not to mention she JUST HAD NECK SURGERY!!!! Thank God, she did not get hurt or damage the surgery but that was the scare of my life! I moved her into a large crate after that one and set up a video camera connected to the computer so I could watch her from the living room.
Lesson learned, while the playpen is a good, soft environment.... NEVER underestimate your yorkie!!! |
