I was awake before 6 to Missy crying to be let out. I spent the day binging the last of the Ted Lasso series and then Marvelous Mrs Maisel in between cuddles with her. She was pacing all day, barely resting and often just acting separate to get outside. Her wound looks good and I am giving her the meds. She has a good appetite but her peripheral vision with the cone is terrible. She runs into everything. It was a long day as any time I moved she would get up and follow me. I had to go outside and put a board to block her cat door so she would stop trying to get out. At 5 I headed to the Guedes house for a dinner with everyone for the last time before the two homestay students go home. Next weekend is Gene’s birthday, but this one was just family and the food was delicious. Ashlée leant me a child gate to separate my space so I don’t have to panic every time I need to open the door. She also leant me a harness and leash to try. I arrived home and Tracey came over to help me put it on her. We took her out for a bit but she was jerking agains the leash and I was afraid she was going to get hurt. We managed to wrap her in a towel and bring her in and now she is sleeping beside me on the couch. There is thunder going on outside now so I won’t have to water but I hope no fires are started. I am planning to go to bed early as it has been a long, emotional day.
