The day has come...
On our way to the hopsital for Eddie's surgery.
If Duke had a choice of 2 things to take with him on a deserted island, I bet he'd pick these.
Duke & Eddie stayed in their house all day. They didn't want to risk getting their paws wet. This picture sums up who they are...Eddie just looking around at who knows what and Duke always having a ball in his mouth.
I think Duke rolls his ball out there on purpose. It's his way of showing the fetching tricks that he taught us.
Works on getting rid of food better than any dishwasher. The plates come back sparkling!
Duke's ball rolled out of the garage thru the crack in the door. He'll wait all nite for a response or any sign of return.
I took Eddie to the vet this morning and they had to run some tests on him to see what really happened to his leg. The took an x-ray, but that didn't give them the whole story. Then they had to sedate him and actually feel around his leg to see if he damaged any ligaments connected to the bones. I picked him up later in the day and found out from the doctor that Eddie tore his ACL! I didn't even know dogs could do that! It will be a pricey surgery, but what can you do?! They say it's a 6-8 week recovery time...6-8 weeks!! We'll have to buy a big enough cage for him to stay in since he won't be able to run around during the recovery. That's going to be tough for Duke.
We took the dogs to the park earlier today to let them play and run around. The did their usual slide ritual, but this time Eddie slipped at the bottom and messed up his hind leg. He won't even put all of his weight on it. He never hurt it this bad before. Looks like someone's going to pay a visit to the doctor in the morning. Poor guy, you can't help but feel bad when you see him limping. Hopefully it's nothing major.
