Jenna got her annuals done today at the vet. Such a rough life. Robby coddled her all day and even went to the store and bought her a present. Dolly Parton shirt. Definitely more spoiled than me. lol

Ok this is Jenna & this is Jenna’s way of telling me we’ll everything lol, but currently this is her saying it’s time for breakfast. This girl is something else

Well Jenna survived her first weekend without us. I’m not sure who was more nervous us or her. Jackie Rowan and family were the best babysitters and continued the tradition of spoiling her while she was there. But we are all happy to be back with her. She even got to play some Trivia Pursuit and had a doggie friend that allowed her to sleep in the human bed with him. By the 2nd night they were butt buddies in the bed. ❤️

Well she’s still not spoiled. It was the end of the world that dad left her to go to the mailbox (it was raining). How dare he. It’s ok he made up for it. 😂

Jenna got her a new Christmas sweater

Guess what. Napping with Daddy is the best!

I think Jenna knows she’s cute. She got to go to Camo’s 1 year kennel anniversary this past weekend and I didn’t take a single picture. It’s ok because we have lots of pictures of Jenna. Robby did tell me that someone came up to him and asked him if he knew he was Facebook famous 😂. He really got a kick out of that.

24/10/2022

Yep now she is laying next to daddy on top of my jacket on the table. This might just be too much. I’m starting to think my husband loves Jenna more then me. 😂

25/09/2022

Ok don’t let this girl fool you like she tries us. Sometimes she stumbles a second to get up on the back leg like in this video but most of the time she doesn’t. She’s just spoiled and wants to be carried everywhere 😂

12/09/2022

Jenna had her follow up appt today and got the all clear. She has finally healed around the screws and won’t need to go back unless she show signs of something being wrong. He said she will not ever get full range of motion in her leg but she seems to managed to walk just fine. She knows her limits. Most of my house has rugs all over, like a walking path for her. She does get off the rugs occasionally but if she does she just scoots on her but across the tile. She is still spoiled and has learned that if she whines enough she will get picked up. Most of the time there’s nothing wrong but she knows we can’t tell if her leg is bothering her or not because of the nerve damage she has in that leg. So she gets picked up often 😂. She is most content in your lap sleeping, in the bed cuddling or being carried around. So she’s definitely not spoiled. We love her to the moon and back.

Jenna update: I forgot to make an update after Jenna’s follow up appointment. Unfortunately he wasnt happy about how she was healing around the screws. She is off crate rest. So she is happy about that. He wants to see her again 1 month after that appt which will be on the 12th. She is not wanting to walk as much as I want to see but I also don’t want her to over do it either since she hasn’t completely healed either. She still needs prayers for healing.

She is still spoiled so she is still happy and got groomed right after this picture but I forgot to take one.

Just in case you were wondering. Jenna is still spoiled 😂

Jenna got her stitches out today and vet said everything is looking good. No stitches means water therapy starts. Today I got the pool up and we both got in the pool. No life jacket today since I sat in there with her. She did repositions between walking the circle and then I hold her while she swims in place. Of course we added some relaxing too. Ok she did some relaxing while I gave her some massages. Her butt floats so it can be kind of funny at times. Got a short video right before I took her out of the pool on her last lap around.

This is Jenna being greatful to be out of crate for a little bit. She loves being outside so after potty time Robby will sit under the tree and Jenna watches the birds. She is definitely not a happy camper to the point we had to move her crate in a different bedroom because seeing us, aka Robby, causes her to throw a tantrum. She still hates gabapentin with a passion and fights every way she can to avoid it. Surgery site is looking good and put vetricin on her belly where she got razor burn. She is slowly wanting to use her leg a little but right now she can’t put much weight on it so she spends most of time just walking with her front legs.

I have refurbished some drawers from a dresser and turned them into dog beds. I donated them to Camo to help with the cost of her surgery if you are interested or would like to share it.

25/06/2022

Jenna is home and definitely not a happy camper. She has whined off and on since being home. I just want to take the pain away from her. As much as people might think I was nuts, but if I could of changed places with her I would. She’s our baby and anyone tells me she just a dog I might loss my s***. This girl has had no luck except for being rescued off the streets in Cleveland by wonderful people, taken in by Camo Rescue, fostered and loved by us and has been prayed for by alot of people rooting for her. She brings a smile to everyone she meets and showers them with obsessive kisses. She is a ray of light on my darkest days and she is the best cuddled I have ever met. I got up at 6:00 this morning to Jenna not being by my side. It took me a minute to snap out of my sleepiness. I spent my morning thinking of her and haven’t stopped since she got home. I made a list of all her surgeries and it is just as mind boggling on paper as it is in my head.

Fixed her fractured leg for the first time, amputated her other leg a few days later because it wasn’t fixable, pin broke so fixed her leg again, then patella popping out so fixed that, fracture opened up after 97% healed and cleared from crate rest so fixed that, cleared from crate rest 100% healed then 6 days later plate broke then fixed that

It’s just heartbreaking to think about. She will need her sling for the first 2 weeks to help her walk for 10 minutes about 3-4 times a day. The rest is crate rest. In 2 weeks she gets her sutures removed. This is when she can start walking on her own for 15 minutes a few times a day. She will also be starting her swim therapy again I ordered her a better pool and received it on Monday night. She didn’t get to use that one yet. So that will be ready for her. It took her a lot of swim therapy to finally be ok with it. The first couple of days is always the hardest on her and us because we are generally up all night with her. Luckily tomorrow is Sunday. So continue praying for her.

I ran across this scripture today at the store and all I can think of is Jenna. Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you hope and a future”

Camo Rescue paid for her surgery so if you would like to make a donation to help the recover some cost please make a donation.

Ok I haven’t update since her last appt saying she was 100% healed. Things have changed unfortunately. Tuesday night she was hiring. I thought maybe her muscle was really sore from finally being able to stay out of the crate now. Wednesday morning she was the same so I made her stay in the crate so she could rest some more. Gave her pain med b4 I went to work. My husband got home at 2:00 to take her to the bathroom and we’ll she only stood up long enough to got to the bathroom. Tried to get a appt local that day but everyone told me to go back to where she had the surgery. They squeezed her in at 9:30 Thursday morning. Originally just feeling around it seemed like the pain was localized to her hip. They had to sedate her to do the X-rays and come to find out the plate broke. I was devastated and was in tears for her all day Wednesday and Thursday. She has to go through this again. She had surgery around 8:00 this morning and everything went well. So she’s resting now and will come home tomorrow. She will have to crate rest for another 6-8 weeks. Since we have had her she has really not shown us that’s she’s been in any pain because of the nerve damage in that leg. That was until this week. When the plate broke a piece of it was rubbing against her muscle. The bone is still in place because the plate only partially broke but was still attached in one spot. MY worry now is we just started building that muscle up again so the scar tissue didn’t take over that muscle. Now crate rest again. I am just not sure if we will be able to save the muscle or not. I’m just at a loss on what to do for her anymore. She gives us all of her love everyday despite everything and it just seems like I am failing her. Ok I’ll update after she comes home.

Party time!!!!! Jenna’s X-ray’s say she’s 100 % healed. Thank you God! She still needs to work on getting her muscle built up in that leg which was expected. No more crate for Jenna.

15/06/2022

OK today is the day. Jenna is on her way for her follow-up appointment. Pray vet says she is 100% healed.

11/06/2022

Ok Wednesday is the day Jenna has been waiting for. She really wants to get rid of that stupid crate again. So fingers crossed she gets the all clear from the vet.

Who is the guilty party

23/05/2022

Jenna got her haircut this weekend. Now her hair is the same length on her body.

07/05/2022

Jenna: This is Jenna’s daily routine. She goes to the bathroom and then lays in her bed in the kitchen under the coffee maker. Because coffee is a must for Robby and I 😂. She is tolerant of our habits and we are of hers. I also got her new tag in the mail yesterday and I love it.

Just a few cute pics from the last couple of days

03/05/2022

Jenna update: it has been 1 week and Jenna is doing good. I just realized that I didn’t finish updating what the Vet said about Jenna’s leg when we picked her up. He wasn’t able to fix her leg where it would bend, but he was able to fix it where she could still use it. Her leg is in the position of strait out at the knee. Her muscle has a lot of scar tissue. She had already gotten accustomed to it not bending and she did just fine like that. Her hip works just fine. So basically she uses her leg like a crutch so she can get around. She has learned to lean forward to lift that leg up then slide it under her to sit with no problem. Her discharge instructions said she could walk on that leg within a day or 2 but I was being extra cautious since her healing seems to be slow. So we used the body sling to help her out. Today we let her out in the yard to go to the bathroom without our support. She did really good for her first time so I don’t see any issues with her adjusting to it. You can tell or I can tell it’s a tad different to her, but she will get it down with a little practice. She is allowed to walk on it for 5-10 minutes 3-4 times a day. Once her sutures are removed then it will be 15-20 minutes 3-4 times a day. She will stay at 15-20 minutes for 6 weeks then we go back for follow up appt. to see what Dr. Says.

Jenna update: Jenna needed some outdoor time. So I brought 1 of her beds outside and she got to watch all the birds flying around and I found her favorite nylabone as well. Incision is still looking good. She’s pouting this morning but I think it’s because her daddy is sleeping in. She wouldn’t even drink water last night because he wasn’t the one giving it to her. Definitely spoiled and attached to her daddy.

28/04/2022

Last night was rough for her. I stayed up all night with her to keep her calm. Made for an interesting day at work. Lots of coffee today. Jenna went to work with daddy today so he could keep an eye on her. He said she did really well. She also seemed to be able to get some rest. The 3rd picture is her new sling we got her. I tried to get this type when she had the other surgeries but they were out of stock in her size. It’s easier to lay her on the bed to put it on and off. 4th picture she is lounging with me for a little while in the bed before she has to go back in her crate. She’s back to eating and drinking like normal. SHe is still hurting today but tomorrow should be a lot better. She gets a pain/anti-inflammatory once a day and then a separate pain med every 6-8 hrs. She received a antibiotic injection before she left the vet. Incision is looking good.
