Can I just tell you Changa keeps crashing?

Seriously. Last week, Changa took a dive from standing off a wood chair, hit the corner of another wood chair, and it swelled to the size of a TENNIS ball. I iced her 20 min, in 5 min increments. Which she hated, but it was the worst goose egg I've seen in my life. It was finally improving when she fell smack on her forehead on the pavement on Monday. Changa, use your hands to break a fall. Please. Yep, same spot. This time it was only a golfball sized raised knot. She's been iced with frozen peas, corn, and mixed berries. I'm not sure how she'd rate the experiences in a compare and contrast, but I'll tell you she writhes and fights me less if I tell her all of Make Way for Ducklings from memory, while pinning her and icing her. Good times good times. I know you probably want photo evidence. I'll see if I can dig some up.

Every time E falls more than once a day I measure her and she's grown another inch. Probably Changa grew a bit and is a little off kilter!! Maybe there's some way to make the ice packs into an outdoor hot-day activity or challenge. hmmm.... balance an ice pack on your head and walk all the way across the lawn? Good luck!!
