Today is Thankful Thursday so let me say that while I am truly thankful for all my blessings, the one I’m focusing on today is Zoey…

My baby girl was spayed on Monday, as I mentioned in my Awww Monday blog post, which you can read here. Thankfully, she is healing nicely.

She is still feeling a bit “off” so she spends a lot of time snuggling with her head in my lap.

And she still looks for big brother, Zen. He’s her security blanket, her source of comfort when I leave the house. She is definitely feeling his absence. I keep telling her that we’ll go get him and bring him home soon; but I can almost see in her eyes that even today wouldn’t be soon enough.

Our vet took excellent care of my baby girl from start to finish. That care even included a laser therapy treatment on the external incision site to help it heal more quickly. And healing it is; although I can’t get a good photo of it because she wriggles so much when I try to check it. So, in addition to being thankful for Zoey and how she’s healing; I am also thankful for Dr. Simpson, Dr. Barr, and all the wonderful staff members at our primary vet, Furwell Veterinary Hospital, right down the road from our house.
