Lola is on trend

I saw this article a few weeks ago, and realized that Lola is not just post-op, she's stylish. While her shaved "tattoo" may not be heart or paw print shaped, it does offer a peek at her secret spotted skin. (She had a pain patch there for a few days post-op).

She is also super model thin. But making serious strides to regaining her more curvaceous figure. She's finally hungry (after a week of not eating). 

She has a little cankle problem that may prevent her from cashing in on her new stylish appearance. The IVs have left her paws rather swollen. But they too seem to be improving.

She's exploring new fashions, as she needs to wear a t-shirt most of the time to keep her incision clean (and keep her bedding from getting incision goo on it). 

And no dog surgery would be complete without the cone of shame. Lola's not wearing it all the time, but when resting she does have a tendency to lick her paws where the IVs were, so she gets to wear the cone then.

Overall she's recovering well. Night one at home was uneventful. She hasn't had pain meds in about 14 hours and seems comfortable. And I'm just really happy to have her home.
