Please, do NOT awwww, they’re so peaceful and cute.
Just 1/2 an hour ago, there was pandemonium because we’re serving dinner 10 minutes later every day in preparation for turning the clock back Sunday.

Maeve is quite content, tanning her belly in the sun with the rest of the pack. We’re still watch slow progress, but any progress is good

Well, on a positive note she stood for her breakfast this morning for the entire bowl.
On the less enjoyable side, it was at 545 am when everyone is supposed to be asleep!

Well, because Maeve has control of the dog room/ kennel room, the rest of the pack has been moved to transitional housing. A polite way of saying thrown out.
Here, we see Jack, Capone and Bixley sharing Calliope and Capone’s mattress as Grover is squeezing into Lucy’s little Kong bed.
Don’t worry, Jack has a full sized toddler bed upstairs in Mom and Dads bedroom. Bixley and Grover both have Kuranda beds there and there’s even an extra dog bed in the spare bedroom. Occasionally, Jack will sleep in the basement on the toddler bed there

Firstly, Maeve is doing well. She’s healing nicely, we’re adding a new medication to lubricate her scar. Sometimes she still scoots. Other times she will bunny hop, and then she occasionally walks but usually runs. Trying to keep a 6 month old pup calm is a full time job. Every leaf that blows needs to be chased and vanquished. Each bird that lands in the yard is suspect.
Next, we are humbled by the outpouring of well wishes, prayers and donations to help her through this. We were flabbergasted ( yes an old person’s word) by everyone’s response to one little puppy’s issues. Whether it was a dollar or a thousand, thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts.
Finally, we would like to thank all the people at Ohio State University Veterinary who performed this tedious 7 hour surgery. The Surgeon, the assistants, the techs and residents all made ours and Maeve’s ordeal bearable with daily reports and regular phone updates . I know when we picked her up, many commented on her personality and how she’d be missed.

We will continue to update her condition. Thanks again!

Besides being unhappy with solitary confinement and waking the household at 3 - 4 am because she could, Maeve decided 6am was a great time to get Dad to feed her and clean the dog room. But as shaky as she is, she stood for breakfast then went outside immediately for a “ walk”. Basically her standing and taking a few steps with some tension on the rear harness. Dad said she needs to work on going out due to the minute possibility that she might gain a little control. 🤞🏻
