Post surgery for reina. . .

this was the day reina had her surgery. we brought her home and she wandered around the yard for a bit and then layed down to rest for a bit.

the poor little girl, she had to come home sporting a brand new "BONNETT" also known as a cone. she hated it and it took her forever to get use to, but it is a must have so that she doesnt pull out those loosely stitched stitches.

and look at how big it was, you cant even see the tip of her nose. she couldnt get to her water in her dish or her food to eat it. so my mom made and executive decision and cut it down a bit. she is now able to drink and eat just fine but still cant get to her eye

look at my dad holding her hand. you cant tell he loves her at all. he says he doesnt really care for animals too much but i know deep down inside he would be sad with out reina. lol. he loves her so much. he talks to her and plays with her and just adores her, but shhhh you didnt hear that from me.
and then it was night time. she likes to sleep with her head on the pillow. i swear she doesnt know she is a dog. and she is such a bed hog too. but she was so comfortable and slept most of the night through just fine. she looked so peaceful. she has to leave the "bonnett" on until monday november 10th. and then she goes in to get the stiches removed and the bonnet taken off. we have made it through a week and only got one more to go. i think she can do it. im so proud of her for putting up with it this long.
