Em

Since I'm typing with one hand, this will be a short post.

I had carpal tunnel surgery on Friday...of course it was out patient. Em had spent Thursday night at daycare due to I did not know how long of a day Friday would be and I did not want to leave her in her crate all day. Well I was out by lunch and stopped to pick Emma up on the way home. MawMaw (mother), CC and Kayla (nieces) were with me to help out Friday afternoon. CC and Kayla played with Em all afternoon, then CC dished up the boys feed and we went to the barn where she helped to feed and water the boys then we all went out to eat. After getting home, I was worn out and ready for bed so everyone left. I climbed into bed (with an ice pack and a few darvocets) and got comfy. After I was settled, Em gingerly climbed into bed and laid with her head on my stomach. For the first time, she was carefull about how much space she took up and did her best not to disturb me. She was there to comfort me and watch over me. On Saturday, she neverleft my side and was the model of a gentle dog. It amazes me how she knew I was hurting and was ohhh so careful not to bump my hand or cause me any pain.
