Amy Update

It's been a week since her oral surgery, and Amy is doing great. She slept for two days when we brought her home. I worried she wasn't eating, but I guess animals are smarter than people and only eat when they're hungry. She takes her pills quite well, which is a relief. She's back to her usual eating habits now.

I've gotten rid of all her hard things, just in case. One of John's co-workers has a dog and he loves all those bones and unbendable toys. He's one happy dog because he got a large bag of them. Amy now has only things I can bend or break easily. Plus some new soft toys. She'll be one year old tomorrow and I have some surprises waiting for her. We're also having a doggie party this weekend with the neighborhood animals. I have lots of treats for them. It sounds dumb, but it's really not. By the end of the day she'll be too tired to nag us, so John and I can have a nice supper and watch a movie.

Now life can return to what passes for normal. I still don't feel like writing, but a couple ideas are bouncing around in my head. Hopefully I can get back to work soon. In the meantime I'm doing some editing. One thing is clear...POV is a problem for a lot of writers. Maybe next week I'll talk about that. It's really not hard. You just have to get into a character's head and stay there.
