Callie

Callie had her amputation surgery last Thursday, July 14th.  Recovery has been pretty easy for the most part so far.  We had a few sleepless nights in the beginning, mostly for Greg and I because we were worried of what she might do during the night.  We solved that problem by putting the lampshade collar on her...she hates it, but its for the best for everyone!  Brayden has surprisngly been very accepting of Callie's new 3 leggedness (and the big "booboo" on her side) and didn't even ask questions.  He is really gentle with her now and asks us if he can pet her most of the time.  He loves his dog and is so happy to have her home...he asked for her a majority of the two days she was at the vet for the surgery.  

Below are some of our favorite pictures of our sweet, loving, crazy, neurotic Callie over the years : ) Greg and I got her from the SPCA shortly after we were married and she has been a big part of the family ever since.  Although she has taken a little bit of a back seat since Brayden came along, we still love her very much and hope we have many years left to spend with her.

She's gonna recover faster than you and Greg! Hope her hair will grow back quickly.
