The point of the brace is to hold her shoulder in the socket so it doesn't slip out and cause the muscle to tear again. We went with the brace over surgery because she has already had 3 surgeries and may need another eventually for her knee.
The brace does not seem too restrictive, and it is good that she is able to have a little fun! 8 weeks is not so long, and hopefully once the 8 weeks is up, she will be back to her wonderful Ahi Monster self!
And yes, Kahuna seems to be rather infatuated with Ahi.
Well, i thought i would give you guys a quick Ahi update. she is boarding with the other dogs, we saw them all when we picked up Luytiy and Kahuna before we headed to ATL (on our way back from Aspen). Ahi was out when we got there, they let her hang out in the office since she can't play with the pups... so that was nice, she seemed really happy. she loves all the attention.
But, of course, she totally killed her fancy pants. she ripped them apart. so when we get home we will be ordering a new pair of fancy pants for her and starting at day 1. sigh.

Ahi's so naughty! But that's why we love her.
