Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Just few days to go. I can't wait until it's over. I'm so worried about the first few days after she comes home.

Laceys surgery went well, she's ok. She has to spend the night....Unfortunately the ligament was completely torn like the other one.

... I am so sad. I don't know how she will walk.

...Hubby said we'll have wait and see...

Dogs are surprisingly adaptable, I'm sure she will handle it better than we humans would have. Prayers on the way for a full and complete recovery.

I am so glad Laceys surgery went well, give her lots of kisses from me.

On Friday Lue starting limping and holding up his back leg. I called the Vet and he has an apt. for tomorrow, but the Vet said with his age (10 months old) it could be growning pains, and might be treatable with medicine. I surley hope so. Luthor is a long hair german shepard and as I read some german sharpards tend to have hip problems, I hope that's not the case here. He has been sticking under me like glue, and I just been loving him all up, he likes that.

I have two rescue labs that both had problems. Hokie, my almost two year old, tested positive for heart worms so we went through the whole treatment with him and had to keep him as calm as possible. Not an easy task with two Labs, but this past summer was hot and they both chose to stay in the air conditioning with me. The treatment was successful and he is heart worm free and feeling fine. Sam, my almost 1 year old, had a congenital eye deformity that had to be corrected. He had surgery and we fashioned a bucket to put on his head and protect his eyes. He is now doing fine.
I am in my second year of retirement and my days are spent with my dogs who are in and out of the house all day long. They are the light of my life and I don't know what I'd do with out them.

I hope you soon find out what the problem is with your dog's leg. It could be that muscles were strained and the knee joint is slipping out of place.
Good Luck!
