We are now in the hard part of recovery. Zena has to stay confined for two months. Her hip and knee should heal in about 3 - 4 weeks. However her shattered foot is going to take about 2 full months if she doesn't stay confined - LONGER. The skin has to grow back too. (eewww) Mentally is also going to be a long road. She pulls to stay IN her xpen. She wont come out without coaching with snacks. I had to put up a seperate xpen outside. It is the only way she feels comfortable and safe going potty. She shakes and is scared to be outside. I guess I now have a HOUSE dog - not that she wasn't before.:) In three days she has gotten a little better, but we do have a long road! Thank you all again!
