Well, I went to pick up Mack today at the vet's and I saw SHELBY! She was hobbling along all by herself outside. The vet said she's doing SURPRISINGLY well, he thought she'd take longer to get up and about. So she's going to come home on Friday!!!! YEAH! She was SO happy to see us, but she was sad to see Mack go home without her. I felt bad not taking her too, but I couldn't afford to board Mack there until she comes home. Yeah she gets a new blankie everyday that smells like me. I started sleeping with towels for a few days before she went in for surgery so she always has a fresh towel that smells like me. I will sleep with it for two days and then bring it in to her. I have a supply of towels that I have been sleeping with though becasuse I thought she'd be there longer. I can't wait! I'm getting her a new bed for her kennel and one for her to sleep on in our room as well. I don't know how well she'll be able to get up on the bed so I wanted to get her something soft to lay on. I'm SO excited, I was thinking about having a party for her, and inviting a few of the neighbor's and their dogs (she has quite a few friends in the neighborhood). I know a place in the mall where you can get special doggy treats that are dipped in yogurt and I think little doggy cakes too (not people cakes actually doggy cakes made for dogs). So maybe I'll get her a cake and then make little goodie bags for all the dogs with the treats in them.
One more day! Oh this is torture! I can pick her up tomorrow inbetween 1 and 3. I have her new bed all ready for her (one for our room and one for her crate). We also picked up a ramp for her to use to get in and out of the Suburban with. I think she will be alright getting into the house. I hope she'll beat it, the vet warned us that she could still be sick. ~sigh~ I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I'm gonna sit down and really read all the stuff that you found tonight. I got a bunch of stuff from the vet that I have been reading nonstop. I did look through the stuff that you found for me. Thank you for taking the time to find it. I have been SO busy with the stuff that the vet gave me (which was actually very informational)
Ok, yeah, I did read that. I just went back and double checked. Yeah I did read that one. I'll look for the essiac's tea for her. Sorry didn't mean to seem ungrateful for all the time that you spent looking up information for me and Shelby, it's just I had TONS 
of stuff the vet had given me and I wanted to make sure that I understood everything before I got her home and was like "ok, now what do I do?" . I really do appreciate you finding all the information. Now, I just have to find the tea and we'll be all set.

SHE'S FINALLY HOME!~sigh of relief~ I was there at exactly 1 o'clock to pick her up today! She was SO HAPPY to get home! I've been keeping the other dogs away from her, but I did give them both a chance to say hi. I was surprised Shelby was happy to see Hannah. I'm SO happy. It's sort of wierd, I know I'll have some adjusting to do. I got more paperwork from the vet to read, and we're going to go and pick up some of the tea tomorrow.
