| Luvy and Surgery Thank you so much for the quick reply. I just read about Sammy. It sounds as if she is doing really well. I loved the pictures of her bandages. To see what to expect bandage wise is a big help. One of my questions is at what point did you know it was time for the surgery? I was thrilled to hear you got to bring her home the first night. Even if we do not rest we know they are in our arms and feel much more comfortable. How long did the surgery take? And what is expected when it comes to recovery time? I will look forward to hearing how Sammy continues to do. Thanks again for the reply and pictures. Missie |

| Sammy So Cute I just looked at the video of Sammy walking. She is precious. She seems to be doing great. When did she have the surgery? Her little hair cut is darling. Seeing the video is putting me a easy somewhat. The bandages are even cute. Thanks so much for the pictures, video, and time to help those of us facing the surgery. |

| Oh as far as when it is time to do surgery - you should just see a specialist. We had a consult back in January and she said they would do both legs and gave me an estimate for the surgery. She called it "elective" saying that you don't have to get it done but they will get arthritis early and in Sam's case it did affect her ability to walk. She is almost 2, so they put her in the puppy category. It sounds like they like to do it when before they are 2 but I would go get checked now. We waited until now thinking the weather would be better and it did snow the first day we had her home but now it's 45 which is a lot better than snow! We do have to carry her outside to pee so that was a factor. Also I'm off work this whole week so that helped us decide. We wanted her all better by summer too!

| Sammy and Progress You are just God Sent to us facing this surgery with Luvy. I so agree with the hardest part being not allowing them to jump, climb steps, and be their normal selves. I do not have a doggie stroller. Keeping her zipped up in one and having her near us I am thinking might be a good idea. I will start researching which stroller would be the best to buy. Any thoughts on the best stroller to purchase? What was the determining factor that Sammy needed her surgery then? Give her a few sweet hugs and kisses from Luvy for the day. Thanks so much again. |

| Sammy Thanks so again for the quick response. Luvy is 9 months and we would like to wait until she is a little older. If we could just wait until the late in '08 we would feel better about the timing. We hope to wait long enough for her to be fully grown. We worry about her growth plate. We see our Vet again on Tuesday for Luvy to have some teeth pulled. We will talk with her again about timing before setting up our first appointment with Texas A&M Vet College. Thanks so much again. |

| OMGosh...what a little doll! Both your babies are! I can't believe how well she can walk with her casts on. Bless her little heart! I hope the days ahead go fast...it's so hard to try to keep them from being wild and crazy!

| Well, the bandages came off today. They were starting to slip down so I called and they wanted them off. The staples don't come out until next week. The specialist's office is so weird. Every time I call they act like I'm being needy. I mean, they did want the bandages to come off so it's a good thing that I called right? I also called to ask when I should make her follow up appointments (next week and another 4 weeks later) and they were like "I guess you can do it now" and then they said they were "booking up fast" so why was it was problem that I called?? UGH. So I asked them if I could take her to our regular vet to take the bandages off and they said OK. Our vet's office is super super nice and didn't even charge us to take the bandages off. Her legs are all shaved, but I couldn't get a picture because they are really bothering her. She was totally fine with the bandages on but now she won't put weight on the left leg and she is just laying on the bed with my husband and she looks very sad. I ran to the local dog boutique and bought her this like $60 designer bling jump suit thing because that's the only thing they had with legs and she was licking the staples. So she looks hilarious and I swear she is mad at me for making her wear it. I'm tempted to just go buy some baby pants but her waist is only like 10 inches so I don't think I'll find anything that will fit. I need to order her some Go Fetch PJ's ASAP!!! So I'll get pics of her legs maybe tomorrow... but here she is in her "bling" track suit thing. She looks like a rapper.
