Those Evil Squirrels




Molly dog is recovering from ACL (knee) surgery this week. The squirrels finally got the best of her. About a month ago, Molly decided she could chase a squirrel up a tree. As you might imagine, it is kind of difficult for a dog to climb the trunk of a tree. The result of her acrobatic endeavor was a torn ACL in her right knee. After weeks of hoping her knee would heal, the vet and surgeon recommended surgery. She has a pretty nasty incision with stitches on her right leg. Complete recovery time is 4-6 months, but we are hoping she will be back in action long before the six month mark. She was pretty pitiful Wednesday and Thursday, but she seems to be a little spunkier this morning. She woke up feisty yesterday, which is a good thing (I think)! One of these days, she's going to catch one of those squirrels! (She's only been trying for 9 years)!
