7 week Post Op Update

So far so good...this past weekend went on a 2 hour slow walk in down town..all 4 legs were used, did do a bunny hop up the stairs in the park. I am little concern for the lack of muscle on her leg, to me it still feels smaller than the other leg, i do realize it only been 7 weeks since surgery. At the end of the 2 hrs she did started lifting her leg every few steps (so that was the reason we wrapped up the walk) but two hours in a busy downtown up and down the street with only 15 min break, i think is a great progress....

Here are few pictures from yesterday... I been so preoccupied with her leg, I at times forget to notice HER..her face, how she is filling out and maturing. :)



You can slightly see where the scar is...fur is slowly filling in...



She does sits awkwardly....not all the time, but at times it almost looks twisted.


Can you say BALL CRAZY??? she was told to "wait"..LOL




WHO LOVES YOU BABY???

Butt Biting Disciplinarian

I came out in the morning and Frankie (ridgeback/boxer mix) was chewing on my shoe…I came out took out the shoe, she sat up looking at me, I am waving shoe in front of her saying “No, Frankie, bad girl!” as I am doing that Bailey my 13 month old GSD runs up and bites Frankie in the butt and runs off…I yelled “Bailey leave it, I got it”..
Same evening Frankie (I guess was bored) ripped off my pumpkin off the wine (pumpkin was a size of a soccer ball) and was biting chunks out of it…I came out “Frankie, leave it..” and as I am saying that Bailey runs by and bites Frankie in the butt again and keeps running its like a “run by butt bite”, Frankie turns around to get her but she is long gone…I came over to Frankie, she sits down looking at me Bailey does it again… I didn’t even had time to react…I called Bailey over made her sit than down next to Frankie…I tell Frankie no, tell Bailey "leave it" and walk away..as I walk away I see those two playing Bailey (who can practically walk under Frankie) sticks her head under Frankie pretending to bite her hind feet, Frankie jumps on hind legs and proceeds to hop sideways…typical play time…
This morning I was trying to put Frankies collar on and she kept putting her head down, so I said.. ‘Frankie, LOOK at me” which she did..and sure sh*t once again Bailey did her “run by butt bite”….its not a hard bite, not aggressive bite…it’s a mouth open wide bite that does not close shut..almost like a bite - squeeze…it does not even hurt Frankie because she reacts in surprise, not aggressive because she looks and focuses back on me...at least its not agressive looking....

I guess i will see what happens, i think order of the pack should be determined by the pack..as long as they fall in line after owners...
