I saw blind Callie grooming Dexter in the kitchen — yes, in the exact same spot that Daisy and Dexter were in for yesterday's post — and got this photo. I don't know if Callie started grooming him and that prompted Dexter to begin grooming himself, or vice versa. A number of people have been asking in their blog comments how Callie was doing, so here you go! We were very pleased to see Callie doing this because she has really not been herself in recent weeks, and it's been rare to see her grooming her various clients. The phenobarbital has really knocked her for a loop. So we've been adjusting the dosage to try and find that right balance between a therapeutic level (i.e., where it's effective) and not having her so doped up she's checked out. Her circling from the inner ear problem has diminished a lot, and she acts "lost" much less.
But to be honest, she still is far from her original pre-tumor self — but how much of that is due to the tumor and resulting radiation treatment, the inner ear rupture during her hospital stay at WSU, or her medications, we just don't know. Suffice to say, when we see the "old" Callie back in action like this, we're very happy!
