Had another new first with Gracie today and it makes me really happy. For background, ever since bringing Gracie home, I noticed that she wouldn’t jump on anything.

Gracie continues to do well and seems very happy. Over the past month, her appetite has really improved as she often finishes all of the food that I give her. (Her wet food, not her dry. She continues to eat that in moderation). She also isn’t as much of a “scaredy cat.” When she is
It’s been a bit since I updated, and I’m happy to report that Gracie is completely healed and is pretty much herself after the surgery and recovery. Her eye actually has a beautiful white scar and you can hardly notice that the eyelid is sown shut. We are spending a lot of time playing with

Last night was a very good but very emotional night for me. I was able to bring Gracie out of the basement and get her collar off for several hours. I did block off the living room and kitchen from the rest of the house so that she couldn’t go too far though. She spent
Gracie is finally eating!!! And drinking!!! This morning I took her collar off for another break. (Last night I took it off for the first time) and now she is half way though a can of Tuna and is drinking up a storm. She’s also more active. I plan on giving her the pain meds
