Cassie part 2
Adendium- (Hey using that Greek post from years ago again!!) She came home on Tuesday afternoon. THe sky threatened snow while it rained lightly. I wasn't sure they had a leash for Cassie, so I went to a local pet supply place and paid $17.00 for a pretty leash.
The Nurse went over instructions about Cassie’s medicines, three in total. One for pain, one to keep her calm, and a third to help her liver repair itself. The Doctor, a nice person went over what had been done to Cassie and how she should spend the next week. Her biggest health concern, that kept her in overnight was air leaking into her chest cavity from her lungs that could stop her from breathing. She needs to stay calm at home, and not run around. Difficult with Misha, the bully. My fear bringing her home alone is that she would pull her collar, run into traffic, and do another Lake road, but this time her luck would have run out.
To my surprise, she jumps right into the car, crisis averted. On the ride home I see her out of the corner of my right eye looking out of the side window, then I look back again, maybe a moment later, and she is gone. Then I look back again, she is on the seat looking out the rear window. It’s like she is a ghost in my car. It’s raining, and gloomy, dark even for an early December afternoon. She moves so quietly I feel her superpower has been revealed to me. I pull into the driveway, open the door guarding against her darting out of the car to freedom again. I realize I feel like she really doesn’t need us until now. She calmly steps down out of the car. The drugs she is on must be really good. We enter the gate and take a walk around the yard. Even in her drugged up state she checks out all of the repairs I’ve done to the gate. She stops at the part of the where her latest escape happened. I believe I hear her call this tunnel Harry (Another Great Escape reference). We walk into the house where we are greeted by an excited Misha, who has moped around for the last two days. She is all excited and she will eventually take a nip out of Cassie. As the night proceeds we have to put Misha on a lush to let Cassie find a place to lay down and heal. This will go on for a week.
