Hailey

Hailey went to the vet today. I dropped her off at 8am, and went out to Mom's for awhile. We made some more raspberry jelly, and around 11 I stopped at the vet to check my bugaboo.

She was out of surgery, and sort of awake. She was groggy and sluggish, but when she saw me, she tried to sit up and her tail started thumping. I spent a few minutes with her and got her to lay back down, then Mom and I headed back into town.

We got a lot done getting ready for the sale, got the garage cleaned out and organized. The kids helped a little, but not much.

At 3 we headed over to get Hailey. She looked a lot better, but still not normal. She was walking fine, but slow. Her eyes were droopy but she was wagging her tail and smiling (yes, dogs CAN smile!)

We brought her home and then I had to get going to class. In my College Writing II class tonight, we had to analyze a bunch of different poems, then we had to write our own. After about 20 minutes, she asked for volunteers to read theirs. 3 of my classmates read theirs, and they were pretty good, we discussed them, what different styles they used, etc, and she asked for another volunteer to read (she was not forcing us to read them, just asking for volunteers). I decided to read mine. She said it was really good, they discussed, and she asked me to read it again. I said no. She looked surprised. I told her that someone else could read it, but I wouldn't read it again. Too sad, might start to cry.

When I got out of class, we worked some more on the rummage sale stuff. Now I am about ready for bed.
BTW, my hip is starting to feel better, I can stand upright now, and I only look like a weeble-wobble when I walk now, instead of the 90 yr old lady mocking Quasimodo.
