Not a good patient then but she must be feeling better in herself, just your nerves to worry about.  ;D

You wouldn't have it any other way.

I own border collies and when Red Dog was spayed she wasn't allowed to do anything..... She bounced off the sofa, walls, got the zoomies round the garden, wanted to play with Pilot, wanted to run up and down the steps etc etc etc...
In the end I had to ask if i could REDUCE the pain killer as she would not stay quiet! When I explained that determined mining efforts from the crate (which she usually adores) wasn't exactly calm and quiet, they agreed.
I felt awful but when she could feel a little pain she did accommodate her behavior to  suit.
Honestly is is like trying to stop the tide!

But it's here, and it's happening.
Massive,
but passive.

Collies and Brittanys are very similar. ::)  Working breeds, both! ;)

I know quite a few agility people who have gone onto Brittanys after losing a collie.  Equally as fast, unbelievable turning, only problem is they are classed as Large so have to jump full height.  Personally I think the sizes are long overdue for review.  Brittanys are from 47 cms (Freckles height) to 51 cms at the shoulder. 
Oh, and she isn't on any medication except ABs  - oops forgot to give her one at teatime

Just wondered how Freckles is doing now - back to normal life or driving you demented still?  I hope you're both more relaxed and rested now??
