Doing well

I am recovering well. My wounds are starting to look a bit better. The hole where my drain was is finally starting to close at the edges. I am at that stage where I am feeling ok untill I try to do something and then I hurt and regret it!

Because there is nothing else going on in my life I will post a few pictures of my fur babies!

Maddy, Scamp and myself on the beach!

Maddy and Scamp snuggling!

Kissing

Have you noticed that the first thing to go in a long term relationship is kissing? I have been with my DH for 8 1/2 years (married for 1 year) and we do not seem to kiss a lot. I normally kiss him in the morning, a kiss goodbye, a kiss hello, a quick 'I love you' peck, but that is about it. When we were first together we used to just lie in each others arms and talk, hug and kiss for hours. I miss that. Seems silly, but was great to spend so much time together.

Well this morning, we laid in each others arms, talked and kissed for quite some time and it was great! It wasn't sexual, just loving. You should try it, it makes you feel very happy and loved! I say bring kissing back into a relationship!

Sorry this is a pointless post, not a lot to talk about. Nothing has changed. Have had a nice weekend with DH and Maddy is doing well. I took her stitches out yesterday and her wounds are looking good.

The MIL

The trip to the IL's was thankfully uneventful. I had geared myself up for the questions, the comments and had come backs ready and a little speech in case the MIL started going on about IVF, grandchildren etc. Thankfully nothing, they asked how I was doing and that was all!

The insensitive comment came from DH's grandma. I told her about my op etc, she asked about kids and I told her it may be difficult, may need IVF etc. She then said to me 'well, we still want grandchildren from you'. OMG! I am working on it! I will do my best!

I am healing well from my lap, the wounds look good, I am on my feet and feeling better. I still cant bend properly or lift heavy things, but feeling better.

On another note; Maddy is doing better, her chest wounds where we did the surgery are healing nicely, but the wounds on her back legs are taking their time. She is a nervous wreck though, poor girl. She is getting lots of cuddles from me though!

Maddy update

Maddy is a little better this morning. She is very sore still, but the shock has decreased which is good. I am worried about walking her when she gets better as she is already a nervous girl due to her past history and me rescuing her. This attack is really going to put her back for a while. Thank you all for your concern!

We are off to visit the in-laws this afternoon, they live 30mins drive away. Maddy loves them so will cheer her up. I am not looking forward to seeing my MIL due to her constant questions and IVF comment (see below). I really hope that she doesn't bring the topic up. This is the first time seeing them since my lap and I cant/wont cope with the interrogation today.

Maddy got attacked

Maddy, my dog got attacked this afternoon by two rottweilers. DH was walking her around the fields and 2 Rotties saw her from a distance, got lose from the owner and attacked Maddy. DH managed to get her away from them but she has bite wounds and punctures on her back legs, bottom, neck and chest. I had to rush her into work (I am a vet) and got K my friend and vet to operate on her to stitch her up. Her chest wound was very deep and she was so close to getting a punctured lung. Thankfully she is now home recovering. She is sore, bruised, scared and in shock, but should be OK in a few days (hopefully).

My dog

Here are few pictures of Maddy my rescue dog: I have had her for 18 months, she is a Staffordshire bull terrier X. She is about 6 years ish. I sadly do not know much about her history. She was dumped at a rescue center when she was about 2 years old and spent nearly 2 years there. They were going to put her to sleep soon if they couldn't find a home for her. I fell in love with her and she is a very lovely girl.

Her with Santa, her Christmas present. He is sadly no more!

This is her on the beach, one of our favourite places to take her:

Excuse the horrible rug, in a old rented house of ours, NOT our rug! lol!

We are training at dog agility at the moment and she loves it. She is very fast and can jump extremely high! We have our first show on Saturday 2nd of may. If I get an decent pictures of her competing I will put them up here.
