Baby steps!

I just took this picture of Lucy and Daisy this morning with my camera phone so the resolution isn't the best - but I think you get the picture! (pardon the pun). This was a good morning for Lucy! She had breakfast and then we went outside to take care of other business. I put her on the cement driveway and after she stood for a moment, Daisy was jumping around her and trying to coax her into following her. She paused a little bit and then started walking back towards the garage. When she reached the garage door she stopped and did her job, then continued walking into the garage and stopped at the bottom of the stairs that go inside the house. That's a big accomplishment! She's resting now, which she does quite a bit. I'm okay with that - I think it's her body telling her to take it easy. Her cognitive skills are still very low, but today is only day 5 after being clipped by a pickup truck! You can see in the picture her front legs have been shaved down to her feet - giving her a chicken drumstick look. Also, her sides around her tummy have been shaved, leaving a strip of hair down the middle of her back - it's the Mohawk look! We're so thrilled to have her with us we don't care how she looks! But she shivers a lot and so she'll be wearing her t-shirts and sweaters until her hair grows back. Thanks again everyone for the calls, emails, and stops at the store! I'll try to keep this blog going on Lucy's recovery with ever notable change.
