Day 12 - Walking on Sunshine!!!

Champie is H-O-M-E!!! We took him to the other vet as planned and get this, they ended up only charging us $221 for the ENTIRE surgery!!!!! God is SO good! Our prayers were DEFINITELY answered! He truly made a way for us! We did have to pay the other vet (the expensive one), another $140 on top of the $100 that we'd already paid. That is all right, though. I'm just glad everything worked out as well as it did.

Champie came through the surgery with flying colors. The vets (at both places) told us he was a real champ, getting sassy with the staff and other dogs. He has this cute little blue and green cast/split type thingy on his leg that he has to keep on until at least October 2nd, when he has his next appointment. Poor baby came home all woozy and shaky from the morphine. It's worn off now and he's trying to get back to his old self.

The poor baby doesn't know that he can't move normally. He's a VERY active puppy and these next few weeks are going to be hard for him...and us. We are going to have to figure out a way to keep him still. He hears us upstairs laughing, talking, and moving about and he wants to get out of his kennel. I'm going to buy him some raw hide bones tomorrow and put in his kennel to keep him occupied.

Okay, enough about that. On to my food and exercise. I haven't been eating enough or exercising since Wednesday. I did exercise today, though, and even though I had the day of from work, was not hungry for most of the day. I didn't have my first meal until around 4:00. *BAD TISH!* After that I didn't eat a whole lot. If it wasn't for the peanuts that I ate, then my calorie count would've been lower. I did exercise today, even though it was supposed to be a rest day. I did my Walk Away the Pounds vid. I've had my 2 rest days for this week already.

I've noticed something about myself. I can go the whole day without drinking an ounce of water. But come evening, I can polish off the whole 100 oz that I'm supposed to drink.
