Sophie had her luxating patella surgery on tuesday. She did will in surgery, and got her heavy bandage off today. She is confined to a large crate when downstairs, and to the master bath when I need to do errands or go to work, and she gets carried up and down the stairs and out to potty. She is doing pretty well, pain wise, eating like a horse, my back is killing me...

On a relatively entertaining note, Jake (Golden, 10 years old), who is generally pretty darned laid back and independent, is acting decidedly needy and assertive about getting his share of the attention and petting.

Please send good thoughts that I can keep the confinement and acitivity limitation up... (6 weeks...)
