Yaay! I’d say give her hugs for us, but after a couple hundred hugs she might collapse from exhaustion. So how about just a couple big ones representing the group? ---

Just got back from the hospital. She _looks_ better and _sounds_ better. She was even laughing. She still has pain, but it seems to be lessening. ---

Just waiting for the vet to call so I can pick Creamsicle up before I go to visit the Spousal Unit. (She was limping badly last night.) ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > _Much_ better today. Eating Jell-O, and broth. She may be released tomorrow afternoon. Careful with that Jello!😃 After my kidney surgery, years ago, I wanted to eat something the next day and I recieved yellow and green jello. I ate slowly, bite by bite. I seemed to be okay. A friend arrived bearing gifts, flowers and books from other friends. I smiled at him, opened my mouth to say hello. As my friend told others later I then procedded to give my very best Linda Blair impression. He dropped the stuff, grabbed a pan and helped me out. Now _ **that’s** _ friendship!⭕p Hope she goes home soon! ---

Mrs. L.A. and I joke about green Jell-O, from seeing it on the ID channel being used to hide antifreeze by wives killing their husbands. Tonight she had green Jell-O. 😃 ---

So glad things are going well. Let us know when you’re headed home, and there will be 4,000+ people in your front yard with flowers, cards, and… well, I guess brownies, cookies, and candy are out. Jell-o it is! Your lawn will recover eventually. ---

I just have to change out of my work clothes (shorts and T-shirt today – isn’t telecommuting wonderful?) and I’ll be off to pick up the Spousal Unit. 🙂 The vet gave Creamsicle a shot of long-lasting antibiotics (one shot, two weeks) and an anti-inflamatory. She was almost normal when I brought her home. No lifting her right-rear paw. Today she _might_ be tender with it, but I have to squint to see it. I kept her inside yesterday afternoon and evening, and she and Tonka have been lounging on in chairs on the covered part of the deck all day today.
