A walk around the yard Bella style

Oh boy. The directions sent home with Bella after her spay recommend that she only be walked on leash and only when necessary. No normal activity for one month after suture removal (which is in two weeks). Tell that to Bella, would you please? She’s ready to resume “normal activity” now!

The first day after her spay she was content to sleep and stick very close to us. Every time we changed rooms, so did she. She had a little bit of a restless night Saturday night trying to get comfortable in her now-too-small-crate. She banged around and woke us up pretty often. Yesterday morning she literally came bouncing out of her crate ready to take on the world—and her back yard—again. She was ready to go out there and chase squirrels! Can’t let that happen, but yet she was bored silly yesterday. Rick and I took turns taking her out. Or should I say that she took us out.

It was interesting to see where she took me. My normal mode is to open the door and let them outside, not really wondering what they do when they are out in the yard. Not since she was a small puppy and couldn’t be trusted by herself in our huge yard has Bella had so much scrutiny! She obviously has her favorite spots and smells, and I got to see them first hand this weekend (and will continue to for several weeks). It was interesting following behind her, and I got the idea to dust off the little camera and take a video of it. The video consists of three parts and if you get bored just hit the pause button. In the first video I say “prior to her spay” but of course, as usual, I was confused. The second video is the longest at almost four minutes. So if you’re so inclined and need a walk, please join us.

You might notice that I now have more work to do with the leaves!

 

 

 


Repeat at least six or seven times per day. Maybe more.
