Resting Up

Resting up

The theme for this weekend was rest. After we got Sol home and got her settled and I fixed dinner, I was out. I don’t even think it was 8:00 PM yet. I was just simply exhausted.

Sol has been resting, but I am pleasantly surprised by how well she is doing. It doesn’t appear that it is taking her much time to get used to her “new mouth”. She shows no hesitation when eating or drinking and her appetite is as healthy as usual. She still follows us from room to room and is always present whenever there is action in the kitchen. We had burgers on the grill on Saturday and she nearly went out of her mind. You would have never known that just two days earlier she had had part of her jaw removed.

Seeing how well she is doing just days after the surgery really helps me know that we made the right decision. I was very worried about her quality of life and that she may never adjust to having part of her jaw removed. However, she is doing remarkably well. It is like she doesn’t even notice.

Thank you all for your thoughts and well wishes through all of this. It really meant a lot to us. And I can’t even put into words how grateful I am to those who made contributions towards Sol surgery. Your generosity is simply amazing!

Check out the fantastic card that Penny from South Africa made for Sol. How awesome is that? Thanks Penny!

The pugs look so relaxed knowing that their new sister,Sol, is back with the group and doing well. It’s amazing how they know things about each other. Wish I was snuggling there with them!

I knew there had to be readers from outside the US and Canada, but I’ve never seen any that referred to where they were. Now I see we have a “sister” in South Africa. A truly global community. Penny, the card is great.

I’m so glad to hear that Sol is still doing well. As for being exhausted, it’s nice to know you really are human, Corrine. You seem to always get so much done, I was beginning to wonder.

Have a great week everybody and enjoy your extra daylight.

So pleased to hear Sol is doing well. I’m sure she must feel the love of her global family! Love the picture, seems everyone needed to recover from a rather traumatic few days! Keep on improving, Sol!

Penny is very touched that her card was featured and received so many wonderful comments. It was made and sent with lots of love, and licks!!

This is the best picture ever! That sunshine looks so good..it’s snowing (again) today in Seattle.
Yay for you Sol! Hope every day just keeps on getting better.

So happy to see all five of the pugs (Yes, Cupid counts too!) all crashed out together…They are obviously a close-knit and supportive little community of their own!

Sooo happy all is going well!

Penny, love the card! I wish I had talent! :-(

It warms my heart to see the entire 4-legged family together again (as it should be). I do believe that Benny, Henry, Luna, and even Cupid knew that something wasn’t quite right in the family and I bet they each did a whole lot of worrying about Sol. Now that she’s back in the bosom of her precious family, everyone has breathed a huge sigh of relief and keeled over to take a long, well-deserved nap together. Good going Corrine, ya done good!

I can’t tell you just how happy we are that Sol is recovering so well!
We’ll keep our fingers (and paws) crossed and hope that this is the end of it!

Best wishes to Sol for a speedy recovery, and great big hugs of support to you!!

Love the picture of everyone.
