Marty’s photo of the day #4605: Six-and-a-half weeks have passed since Nellie got her new bionic left-rear leg (CCL removed, knee refitted, and a metal plate with six screws installed). Deb and I have one more week of sleeping with her on the pullout couch mattress placed on the great room floor before moving up to the third floor bedroom, where we’ll put our regular king-sized mattress on the floor and sleep with her there for a few weeks. But we’re making progress!
Nellie still has to be on a leash, but that doesn’t stop her from trying to convince me to run with her after whatever she spots. This photo shows our morning routine, where we walk out to the point and gaze down at the lower level of the Essen Wildlife Refuge, hoping to spot one of the foxes that lives down there.
Well, at least I’m looking for the foxes. Nellie is looking for squirrels!
