We have a crate for the nights when she cant be kept an eye on and incase she starts being silly.
I will have a chat with the vet tomorrow to ask his advice but as Lynne said my lovely vet Louise has stitched her in a way that even if one gives then the others will be ok. I will have a chat with the intensive care vet and see what he recommends tomorrow - he said that she had started to bounce so he will hopefully be able to judge knowing that she is likely to boing about a bit. I know cats are supposed to have 9 lives but I think that Princess is coming close to matching that!!
Will update tomorrow and let you know if she is well enough to go into foster tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

She went into her new foster last night. We took her over and she wasnt very brave. In fact she would only stop crying if she actually could sit right on my lap with all four paws. With her big head collar on to stop her biting her stitches it wasnt very practical - but shes had a rubbish time so she got away with it.
Had an update this morning from Heather who said that she had been good last night. She settled down and seemed very tired. The vet said that she hadnt been very happy in the kennel and so I think she was exhausted. She is on anti b's and isnt allowed to go out for anything more than a pee and a poo until she has her stitches out.
I pick her up on Friday night and will take her back to the vet on Saturday. Then I am afraid its back to kennels on Sunday as I have to go to work on Monday and so does Heather.
She seems to be doing ok though and hopefully will find something much more settled soon! |

Spoke to Heather who is fostering Princess today. She said that she was charming.
Apparently this morning Heather decided to have a lie in. Princess at getting up time (about 8am) went upstairs pulled the covers off her and licked her feet until she gave in and came downstairs. Heather said that she couldnt stop laughing - naughty Princess.
Heather reported that she was doing very well. She has loads of character and is so sweet natured and cuddly. |

That is fantastic news. Heather texted me this evening to say that she is fantastic. She seems to be feeling pretty good too as her bounce has returned. She cant wait to be able to go for some really nice long walks! Not long now till she can have her stitches out.
She so deserves a proper home. |

I want to start by saying a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that has helped with Princess, she has had a rough old time but she is home now and we are loving it!!
We went to meet Princess who was with Olivia yesterday and we fell in love with her so we just had to take her home. What helped make this decision was this forum, being able to get an update on a daily basis helps you build a picture of what this dog would be like and we knew before we met her that she was the one for us.
So here is an update for her first day with her new family :
This morning at 7am, Princess pulled the covers off me and began to lick my feet (i thought it was other half and my luck was in LOL!), I kind of woke up and said to Princess "can i just have another half and hour then i will take you for a walk", she layed next to me and went to sleep. Bang on 7.30am, she woke me again and we went for a short walk.
Later on today, me and my other half took her for a lovely walk down the seafront. There was loads of people, kids running around, dogs off their leads, lots of amusement rides and people screaming and not once did she bat an eyelid, so chuffed!!!
Here is a pic of my other half and Princess down the seafront:
Princess is now exhausted and having a lay down on my sofa, here is a picture of me and her:
OMG, I LOVE MY PRINCESS !!!!!!
