Dakota saw the Doctor this morning. Hip-Hip-Hooray...she's been discharged. He has now put her on house arrest, but hey, that is better than solitary confinement. My girl is happy to be free, let me tell you. Boston Terriers are known for being very expressive. When they are happy, you literally can see the smile across their face. I haven't seen Dakota smile in quite some time, so today, when I looked down at her, and saw a HUGE grin, I was only too happy.
She has to serve 1-week on house arrest. She is free to wander and do as she pleases inside the house, but because her and Memphis rough-house so much, they are not yet allowed to be together. It's been fun for me so far, I have always wanted my girls to be inside dogs, but Leonard doesn't exactly care for that idea. He has no problem allowing them inside to sleep at night, but he feels dogs belong outside. Which is fine, we find a happy medium and everything is cool, but for the next week, I get to have my way thanks to doctor's orders. It's been so cute, because she follows me everywhere, and as I type this post, she is sleeping at my feet.
Sadly, she will have to take joint medication for the remainder of her life. On the bright side though, this should be the last time we will have to go through this (hopefully) and now she will live a relatively normal life.

That video was super cute. Now I want a dog ten times more than I did yesterday.
YEAH!!!!! She is much happier, and so are you! I'm sure that even though she is just in the house she loves it! Yeah Dakota! :)
The video is hysterically wonderful! I imagine that's how all free birds feel when they are let out of their cage! You gotta take Criminology when you go back to school. I LOVE this class & found your wording to this post very, very funny.
Lil' Leo is so stinkin' funny! I'm glad you captured that on video. Wow. The dog has to be on meds for the rest of his life! Sounds like our thyroid condition. Well let''s be grateful the meds are actually a miracle for us today. Quality of life is priceless.
It was so fun seeing you this past weekend. You guys all LOOKED AWESOME. More than anything Ya'll LOOKED GENUINELY HAPPY. I lOVE that Lizzie! Lookin' forward to your next post! Tomorrow's Shirley's birthday. I got a funny pic of her in hobo kelley glasses.
I feel bad for Memphis not being able to be with Dakota. Leonard is right about the dog being outside. My house is forever continously dirty and dusty from dog hair, dirt, etc. I LOVE the inside dog but HATE the dirty house. If clean is your agenda-outside is the way to go.
That is TOO adorable. I love the joy you can see :)
