Lola is doing well. She was pretty tired and depressed yesterday - I'm sure a combination from all the excitement on Tuesday (long walk, the attack and then rushing to 2 different veterinary offices) and then the starting of antibiotics on Wednesday and the soreness from the rumble setting in. I think Saturday we'll go for a walk, but today and tomorrow I think I'll just take her around the block once. She's been playful today, bringing me toys and then ACTUALLY playing with them instead of just bringing them over and watching me play with them. She's still a little clingy, wanting to lay in my lap or curl up against my stomach when I'm on the floor. (Yes, I spent hundreds of dollars on chairs and couches to sit and lay on the floor, lol. My favorite it when I'm lounging on the floor and Lola usurps my spot on the couch, I'm sure in her mind I'm usurping her spot and she's just reclaiming it.)
However, she still isn't very happy about being outside. When no one is around she will stray a little further from the apartment, but as soon as we see anyone (whether they have a dog or not), she immediately wants to turn and go the other way/home. She's eating and drinking normally, so I know she's got to pee and whatnot, but it's such a challenge because she just keeps trying to beeline to the apartment before doing her business if we see anyone outside (they can be hanging out across the street too, not even walking towards us)! I'm guessing for right now it's because she doesn't feel good and knows she's hurt and she's just trying to protect herself a little bit more. But at the same time, I don't want her to start to be afraid of walking passed other people or dogs on the sidewalk, so sometimes we'll stand off to the side to let people pass by, other times I wind up dragging her passed them.
