Well...this has been an interesting week. I had to take Maggie to be spayed on Monday. She couldn't have anything to eat or drink so I had to keep her in the house all day until I kept took her in. A couple of my friends were coming out to fish in our pond and when they arrived they had about 10 other people with them to fish and then they were going to fry the fish here and eat them. I love my friend and it ordinarily would have been no problem at all but the dog was stressing me out. She does not like being in the house and is not house broken. All day, I had to keep saying, "Don't let the dog out and don't feed her." Finally I got to take her to town and got her safely home that evening. We have to keep her in the house while she heals, but on Thursday I put her on a rope so she could hang out outside for a little while and not get into trouble. The main problem with letting her outside is that she is not supposed to get in the pond because she mustn't get her incision wet. She apparently got bored and started picking at her stitches and got them to open a little and the area got swollen, so I had to take her to town to the vet and they gave her an E collar and some antibiotics. She is sooooo bored in the house. I've been trying to spend as much time in the basement with her as I can, but I can't stay down there all the time.
Also on Thursday I had two of my nieces here to have an art day with Aunt Sherry. We had a great time making baskets and jewelry and then I discovered I had to make the emergency visit to the vet, so I left them with my husband. He was thinking, "How can I entertain two little girls?" No problem...they wanted to go fishing, so he was happy to take them. When I got home they were playing pool and talking about how many fish they had caught. Happy ending for the day except for the unhappy dog in the collar.
Yesterday I took them with me to my friend Shawn's house to pick up my jewelry left over from her sale the previous day. It was like an art field trip for them to visit another artist's studio.
Today I get to stay home and rest with my puppy all day. Whew! A welcome bit of peace.

Your nieces sure are lucky to have an Aunt like you! Take care!
Poor little Maggie, and poor you it sounds like a really stressful day, even though I am sure you were happy to see the girls happy.
