Free at last

Today we decided Arrow's incision was healed enough for her to go swimming. It was so much fun to watch her plunge repeatedly into the canal and out again; lope along the bank, her sodden tail casting lazy arcs of water in her wake; and roll upside-down in the grass, wriggling down the slope until she almost fell into the canal. After weeks of cooping her up in an e-collar (the "cone of silence"!) and leash-walking, I enjoyed watching her wholly be a dog again.

So after 15 stitches and 3 weeks recovery, Arrow and mommy have one more thing in common: we are cancer survivors!
