Wow! Lots of changes to the board! I got myself locked out from the board but thankfully Michael the Wizard got me back on today! Thanks Michael!
So...we've had an eventful few weeks with Miss Anna Banana! She went into heat for the third time since joining our family in October 2006. We met with the vet, weighed out the risks, and decided to go forth with the spay while she was entering heat. She had her surgery on Monday and seems to be recovering just fine. We sent her uterus away for testing as there were some suspicious bumps on it. Came back on Friday - nothing to worry about but she had an extremely overactive uterus and would have been in almost constant heat had we not proceeded with the surgery when we did.
She has been exhibiting some unusual behaviour since the spay - the biggest of which is wanting to stay in her crate all the time. She will whine to go down into the basement to the crate, runs when the door to downstairs opens, and then burrows in her crate almost as if she's nesting. She has taken every single toy in there with her, and has taken to carrying HUGE balls around in her mouth. I'll have to get a picture to show you cuz it's too cute. Anyhow, I'm chalking it all up to hormones and figuring she'll come around.
Now...I have to go get caught up on everyone's news!
