DH went to the hospital to see his mother today.  They had her sitting up in a chair already.  He said she had good color and seemed quite chipper.  She was alert but kept insisting that she was at our house yesterday.  It’s my belief that she probably dreamed it.  They have her on some pretty heavy pain killers and antibiotics.  It’s been difficult to keep track of her because it seems the hospital is playing musical rooms with the woman.  Every time DH calls or goes there she’s in a different room. 

      Gavin is recovering nicely.  He must’ve lost the strange veterinary hospital smell because Patty was sniffing around his crate today without a single hair on her back raised.  She even tried to get him to play and made an attempt to facilitate Gavin’s escape from his crate.  She was mouthing  the latch on the door trying to open it.  Poor pups, they can’t play together until after his stitches are removed and even then they will be strictly supervised for a while to make sure Patty leaves his ear alone.
