Breaking Out...On Accident

Luna has been getting increasingly stir crazy.  It has been very difficult to let her out of the cage, because she won't stay still.  She won't stay in our arms for long and she won't just rest on the couch.  Yesterday she jumped off the couch.  When BB tried to pick her up, so she wouldn't make a a break for it, her cast got caught on the coffee table and it completely came off.  Everyone one was in a bit of shock.  BB bawled, because he was convinced he had hurt her again, and we weren't really sure what to do, because she had another week before they were going to remove the cast.  We put her back in the cage and called the vet.  At first he said just leave her in the cage and it would be ok, but she was limping pretty heavily, so we, including the vet, all decided it would be best just to bring her in for an x-ray the following day.

It turns out she is completely healed.  She is limping from the atrophy in her leg after 5 weeks in a splint.  Letting her out for the first time was just like Christmas morning.  She roamed the house for several hours straight just reacquainting herself with every possible corner of the house. 

Stella decided to try out the cage to see what all the fuss was about, but she quickly found it lacking and started following Luna around the house.  They've been rather nippy with each other, but they've finally settled down and took a nap next to each other. 

 

Luna continues to limp and she can't jump up on any beds right now, but the vet says she will quickly gain her strength back.  We're just so excited to be rid of the cage and have Luna out and about again.
