Great progress…

We cut off her bandages and she was off to the races, hopping along on the front two legs and the less damaged back leg, squatting on the lawn to eliminate, leading me a merry chase out to the end of the near garden and back.  Quite an improvement from last night when I had to carry her back to the house after a brief outing on the east lawn.

I’ve been watering her by holding the dish up so she can drink - mostly because she needs to be reminded; but she’ll be back to drinking out of the toilet before too long.

I just received the news that Michelle died this weekend.  Sad news.  We had a date to have lunch in July.  It would have been the first time we met face-to-face.  Now we never will.

Michelle E. Goodrich (Mandarin Meg) was an open hearted woman, enormously creative, technically astute and interested in all that was going on around her.  I will miss her.
I was privileged to interview her for my blog three years ago.  The interview is here.

Rest in peace, Michelle.
