Lorna update

Lorna is recovering slowly.   The wound was so deep, encompassing a large area of tissue damaged and bone exposed to the elements, that we have had to keep her bandage on for such a long time with frequent changes.    The wound is healing and she certainly has no problems using that leg but it is a very, very slow process.   Currently we are looking for a foster home who can monitor her healing and monitor her need to wear an E-Collar 24/7.   Yes, we took it off for these photos but she currently has to wear two - one small one and a larger one to keep her from tearing off the bandage and licking her leg.    She is so sweet, and just loves everyone and every dog she meets.    She's an active girl for an estimated 8 year old - I'm sure she was a very, very active young dog. She certainly isn't an older mellow kid and could keep up with brisk walks and hikes once she is cleared for adoption.
