Sofie So Hurt

My sad sad baby.

Sofie got spade on friday. I havent' been posting in a while I know, but this particular weekend has been so challenging. My poor Sofie won't settle down, she constantly wants to lick her wound, and the razor burn is very itchy. We havent' been able to leave her more than a few short hours, and then when we got home her protective collar was mysteriously removed. On the very plus side, she and Steve seemed to have bonded greatly this weekend, as he was the only one that could calm her. She laid completly submissive in his arms as he gently rubed the surrounding areas of the wound. She wouldnt' let me do it as much. I think she must feel safer in Steve's arms. I firmly believe that if you are good to a dog {especially} when they are hurt they remember it with love forever. So it is nice to know that she loves Steve as much as she does me. That makes me very happy. And I know Steve feels so good about it too.

Today she seems a little peppier, she seems to want to play but not overly intersted in running. We took a walk this morning {not very long or fast} and she is sleepy now. This week I will have to find a balance between activities that keep her mind off her stiches, and tire her just a little so that she can rest. I have been using the pain meds sparingly, b/c its not good to overly medicate her. I use them at night or when she seems really uncomfortable.

In Other News: We have been really trying to get our lives in order! We have condensed some of the Steve Stuff and Genna Stuff to make it Steve and Genna Stuff. We bought a new desktop computer and are taking both of our old ones to my work so that we can keep up with technology! I'm so glad about that! I have been working on my wedding album {I know I wanted to do it in Jan, but am trying..} I have been re-decorating our master bathroom. It was such a modpodge before, so I bought some frames and hung some cool wedding photos up, updated our accessories, bought a towelbar, toilet paper holder, door hooks all to match. Which really is pulling the room together. I just have to finish the valances for the windows and get some new shades and all will be perfect. I dont' think we are going to paint in there. Although I want to, I would have to hire a professional because the celings are very high.

I have also been working on a photo collage of black and white wedding photos for our office room. I am so excited about that. Hope to get it done this month along with the wedding album pictures...

Here's to Sofie getting better, Valentine's Day, and my projects.
