It’s been two weeks since Lexie’s surgery.
2 weeks . . .
1234 dollars (yes, really).
10 stitches.
1 giant plastic cone.
56 pills that I had to hide in peanut butter.
14 nights spent sleeping with her on my parents floor.
14 mornings of waking up and pressing a frozen spoon against my eyes to try and hide the bags.
2 books to pass the time.
4 early morning concerts put on by my brother in the kitchen.
8 workouts done in my parents garage.
3 bruises from doing ab exercises on the garage floor.
4 far from excellent runs.
1 door eaten.
And tonight it all ends.
Tonight the stitches come out and Lexie and I get to go home.
Tonight I get to make dinner in my own kitchen, and I can chat with my dog the entire time without anyone asking who the hell I’m talking to. I can watch whatever I want on tv, I can sit around in my underwear, and then I get to sleep in my own bed.
I am so, so excited.
Welcome! I'd love to hear from you: leah *at* whydeprive *dot* com
Your poor bank account. Don’t worry, she’s totally worth it
Glad it’s all coming to an end. 
It’s been a long two weeks for the both of you! I’m glad you’ll get some rest and relaxation finally. Hopefully there will be lots of wine involved!
$1234? No way. That’s about what I paid for Maya at the ER when she ate too much bread and cheese on our last trip. I wish I was kidding too!
All I can say (again) is that you are going to be the best mom!
Hooray, you made it! I’m glad to hear that it sounds like Lexie has been healing well- have a fun and relaxing night!
This sounds so exciting!!!
Lexie’s so lucky to have you in her life…
You’re the best dog mom EVAR!
I am so happy for you! I had a pet go through some severe medical issues that left me sleeping on the floor with him nightly for a week so I know how you feel
Your an amazing puppy mama!
So happy you got to go home!!!!
P.S. Does that spoon thing work?! LOL
So glad you’re home Leah! There’s no place like home! Best line in a movie ever. Glad Lexie is healing and so sorry about the vet bills. What a huge, huge burden, but I’m glad your girl is bouncing back. You are a very good dog mama. I talk to Sadie all the time…infact usually I sing to her in the kitchen. It makes my kids crazy, but Sadie seems to like it since she happily lays by my feet while I cook.
