Awe I'm glad your little one made it through! I have a carry bag for her, but haven't used it much since she was first brought home. I think our hardest thing is going to be keeping her inactive, with her brother (1yr old Schnauzer x poodle) around. They love each other, and actually look kind of lost if one is missing. The furniture jumping is going to be a task as well, I swear Pebbles was a cat in her past life, she loves jumping up to anything high up. (Even the dinner table)
She is crate trained though so we have that on our side. Luckily I'm a stay at home Mama at the moment, so she'll have round the clock care
how old was your pup when it happened? Pebbles is only 8 months... I was shocked she could even get this severe an injury so young.
