Almost back to "normal"

Today marks one week since "that awful dog" attacked Jazz and Oscar.  We took Jazz to the vet yesterday for her checkup and he removed the drains, which seemed like a turning point for us all.  She no longer looks like a science experiment and she acts like she feels much better.  He left the stitches, saying the wounds need another week to heal before taking them out.  So we go back next Monday.

I brushed out both dogs yesterday afternoon.  Jazz had a number of mats caused by the oozing from her drain tubes.  Oscar just needed attention; however, while brushing him I discovered a small puncture wound on his shoulder where "that awful dog" tried to bite him.  We missed it that day, but not to worry it was small and almost completely healed on it's own.  Just a small scab left.

We were greeted this morning by one of the most spectacular sunrises we've seen here.  I posted it on FaceBook for those of you who might want to take a look at yet another sunrise.  I know we post way too many, but.....they are really beautiful!

And so, the road back to "normal" has begun.  I pulled out the carpet, rolled it up, and took it in for cleaning (more damage from the oozing tubes).  Also, walked around the boat with a damp cloth trying to clean up more spots.  Sheets and towels are being washed.....cookies are being baked.  We went to Starbucks for morning coffee/tea.  Oscar is barking less, and Jazz is feeling normal (but she sure hates to have the cone on her neck).

I did not post any pictures of Jazz in the last week....they were too gruesome.  But here's one taken this morning at Starbucks.  I know it still looks bad, but if you had seen her last week you would be amazed at how much she has healed.  After the stitches come out, I am going to get her bathed and groomed.  Then we will be leaving Coconut Grove for fresh, new scenery....Marathon Key!  Already have our marina reservation!
