Snuggles

How cute!

Here we go again....

Luna was so much fun after her surgery, that we decided to do it again with Jinx. Kristie gave the basic details below, and she will follow up with some details on how this is all going to go down with the surgery itself. Below are some xrays where you can see his normal leg (Left) and his defective leg (Right). With this surgery, Jinx is going to easily surpass all of Luna's medical bills! After having such a rough start to his life, this complex surgery should at least fix his leg enough to have a great quality life. Jinx will definitely need a healthy and mostly pain free leg if he wants to keep up with crazy Luna!

Upcoming Surgery!

Poor Jason was kept very busy with the two dogs while I was off in NH, Boston, and Kansas. Of course, they were naughty and picked up bad habits of jumping on people and furniture! While gone, I contemplated and consulted about his leg and what type of surgery would allow for the best outcome. After speaking with Dr. Sunil Vasanjee we've decided on the type of surgery that will allow him the best use of his leg and the least pain/arthritis long term. He's being evaluated tomorrow and will have more radiographs taken. He'll likely get the surgery the beginning of next week.

Jinx is a happy, crazy, playful little puppy and doesn't seem to care much about his leg - but he is limping more now than ever :-(

We'll be officially adopting him from the Humane Society so that he can get the best possible care in our home. Surgery will be quite expensive and the recovery is going to take 3-5 months until he's somewhat normal again.

Lab puppy

Knowing that I would be going out of town this weekend, and to leave Jason with 3 dogs would be crazy, we found a new temporary home for the little girl. She is with Austin Pets Alive, a no-kill organization. She will be going to her new foster home soon!
