    Talked to my mom today and Zoee was having some swim time. She doesn't stay in the pool though. She gets in, swims a few strokes, gets out and shakes all over my mom. Gets almost all dry then gets back in the pool to do it again.

    I made the mistake of talking to her over the phone. She then began looking in the house for me. I won't be doing that again. Poor girl. But she is no doubt loving all the attention she is getting from my mom.

    I think she will be good as new by Easter (April 24th). The house is SOOO quiet without her. But Taggart did bark earlier when our neighbors friend was out front. Good Boy!!! Of course the difference with him is he stops when we tell him to. Zoee........not so much.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I'm sorry, just seeing this now! Poor Zoee, I hope she feels right again soon. That sounds painful. Mom, feel better too, I don't blame you for missing her!

    Poor all of you! You are doing the best thing for Zoee, though. Think of the mandatory 6 week totally limited restrictions an ACL repair takes! You are dealing with half of that time period, avoiding the cost of the repair ($1500-$2000), the pain, etc. This IS best for Zoee.

    Hugs to you while you miss your girl. But, isn't she in the best second place possible, your mom's???

    Once Zoee is all healed is your Mom going to be able to part with Zoee?

    I am so glad that you have this option - even though you miss her terribly, she has an excellent chance to heal and be spoiled rotten while she is healing.

    Thank you all again. Yes, the house is way too quiet without her. Taggart is a little mopey. But he played with the neighbor dog Monday and went for a walk yesterday. We've also been playing with him in the backyard (which he usually doesn't care to do with Zoee there to play with).

    You are SO right! This is why I made this decision. And its also how I got Bruce to agree to it. And I know my mom loves her as much as we do.

    Yesterday my mom said "you aren't getting her back". She was joking of course. But she constantly tells me how she isn't a problem at all. In fact, when my dad takes a nap during the day Zoee lays right next to the couch with him. My mom says she is as close to the couch as she can possibly get. She would get ON the couch with him if he let her.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
