Laying in the Grass

I did the responsible thing and had Scarlet spayed this week. When she was picked up, she came home with pain meds and the long list of "Things Not To Do". The first night she slept mostly but by the second day, you couldn't tell she even had surgery. I'm talking radical dog here! My husband and I have tried our best to keep her from running, jumping up in our laps, and even keeping her from going in the backyard with the other critters in order for her not to bust a stitch. By Wednesday she was walking around the house with, if it's possibly a much sadder look on her face. So in between rain showers, I put her leash on and I let her lay in the cool wet grass. I have a happier Basset now.
