At Home with the BoulevarDog

The Trusty BoulevarDog came home on Monday afternoon and has been resting comfortably and sleeping quite deeply all day. One thinks that the time at Boulevard Pet Hospital, while healing, has not been restful for her; she is generally not a fan of other dogs, but it is hard to get away from them at a veterinary office. One suspects she did not get much rest that was not created or induced through chemical means.

She has taken two brief walks on our street to relieve herself and has been eating heartily. For now, she is forbidden from climbing stairs (Chez Boulevardier has many) so we are restricting our activities to one floor of the home. The restriction from climbing is due to the five-inch incision on her belly; it needs to heal up before strain is put on it, not to mention the many ligated blood vessels inside her abdomen that formerly were attached to her spleen.

She received a visit from mon petit chou today; the two were very happy to see one another. And, though Your Boulevardier is a bit anxious about the fact, the chien sans rate will spend a few hours at home alone this evening while Your Boulevardier visits Bijou in Hayward. A report will follow.
