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!
