Miracle Doggie Update

It's been awhile since I've updated on the progress of our pup, Sienna.

She is seriously a miracle doggie.

She has made miraculous strides since her back surgery, and we are hopeful that she'll only continue to improve. She's still a bit wobbly and falls over from time to time. And she tends to fall into a split when she walks on our hard woods. And, we have four weeks to in terms of preventing her from using stairs, walking too much, and playing with Samson...which is becoming more and more difficult as she gains more strength. But things are going much better than expected!

It's so funny because I truly feel like we now quasi know what it is like to have an infant:

• In the beginning of all this, we did not sleep at all because Sienna kept us up by crying and whimpering.
  
• Then, we saw her walk for the first time, and we both had to hold back proud mommy and daddy tears.
• Finally, we had to work to "potty-train" her by helping her go to the bathroom...and when she pooped for the first time on her own, I felt like an excited and relieved mama.
  

I've been meaning to upload the following videos onto my computer...but couldn't figure it out because I took them with my cell phone. Had to wait until my personal IT man returned home from a work trip.

A couple of notes on the videos:

1). Turn down the volume - My voice is seriously and accidentally super loud

2). I swear I do not sound like this in real life - the videos portray an obnoxious mommy voice.

3). The first video was literally the first time I saw her walk - thus the excitement

4). These were taken over a week ago, and she has improved a lot since then
