Homeward bound

Well she's got the all clear from vet Harry Scott. She is ready to be brought home. Going to be a long haul recovery now and she'll end up with a fused wrist joint so will be limping a bit for life - poor thing. To go from being a fit, active athlete of the dog world to a disabled one in one second is not good. But her personality and temperament should be the same as always, such a gentle sweety. At least she won't go running on icy puddles again!
I'm collecting her 4 pm this afternoon.
I am expecting a delivery today - which I rearranged from wednesday for today because I was expecting her home yesterday. Blinking delivery company's system is not good as the number they gave to contact them didnt work! They called me to confirm delivery for today while I was on the phone to vet and left a message on answering machine but I didn't realise it was there until this morning. As I was home all day I did not suspect a message had been left. So it's on the van now and I hope he comes before I have to go out to fetch Honey :( Their base is in the lanes at the back of Bournemouth Airport and a pain to get to so I don't want to have to go to pick it up. I'll see if my neighbour could take the delivery for me if I'm out.
I feel lost without Honey around - keep looking for her or waiting for the nuzzle when she wants a cuddle. Daft me being so soft about her. She is a dog and gets treated like a dog but she is also a member of our family. Thank goodness she does not get on the furniture. I have leather sofas and her frame would rip them to shreds in no time. I hope she will manage the hop in and out of the patio doors to go in the garden. There is a bigger drop by the back kitchen door which would pose more of a problem for her. She is also uncertain of the vinyl floor in the kitchen and hates to cross the room more than she needs to. Going from hall to dining room is 3 steps across the corner of the kitchen and she can cope with that.
Can't wait to get her home now. Going to be regular visits to my vet for next few weeks though to change dressings and check on progress.
