My pup went through a luxating patella surgery a few months ago and his leg is still not perfect, there's still a click but he is much better than he was before.

Back to Jack...he is such a soldier and he is so lucky to have a daddy like you. It is very kind of you not to accept donations. You and your family have such a big heart.

KUDOS to you and Jack!!

Again, the card is just wonderful!! The doc will truely appreciate it.

Wow, my head just exploded from getting all those compliments at one time. Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks! Did I get them all? LOL.

Jack's surgery was a miracle. The vet told me in advance that he would probably need 6 months of physical therapy and warm baths to recover fully, but he was practically 100 percent at his 1-month checkup. The vet told me he didn't need physical therapy. And he hasn't favored the leg since.

I should knock on wood because it's just two wires holding his knee together!

Thanks again! Oh, and as much as I TRIED not to accept donations, sneaky YTers sent Jack a care package that included a check for $125. I accepted it on condition that he is now partly owned by all YTers!

Good luck on your pup's recovery!

I read the threads about Jack and saw the Christmas card. The vet will be thrilled and I think you deserve a special Christmas card too. A lot of people would've let Jack be passed on to someone else. It shows a great deal of character to take care of him the way you have. I'll bet Jack gives you "thank you" sugar every day!

I just had to come back and say......I'm so glad that Jack is all healthy now. You and your wifey ROCK, and you were suck awesome people to take him in and get him all the care he needed, and help him recover!
Jack is sooo cute, and I'm so happy he's having so much fun playing in the snow this year!!!!!!
Ps, Eddie is a stud too...can't forget about Eddie!

Mike are so caring and thoughtful, I know your vet is going to be so touched and feel like a hero when he receives the lovely card......

jmetts · 11-17-2006, 04:51 PM

What a before & after shot! It's always nice to hear a 'happy ending' story like yours & Jacks. What a happy looking little fellow he is in the last picture!! I always like looking at all your pics....so neat to see them in the snow. This coming winter is Snickers first & I'm hoping we get at least one good snow this year so that I can see him play in it! Oh, and yes....I think your vet will LOVE the card!

trixiesmith · 11-17-2006, 05:30 PM

I love this card. That will be the nicest card your vet has ever gotten.

dizpatch · 11-17-2006, 05:36 PM

What a differance he made in one little yorkies life....and yours too!

The card is lovely and I know the vet will be so touched. Jack is such a lucky little guy to get this second chance at life.

What a touching card..I'm sure Dr. Rapp will be moved when he receives it.

He certainly was a miracle worker when it came to Jack!
