Lucy had her 2nd knee surgery yesterday at the Sun Valley Animal Center. We are very lucky to have a pioneer in veterinary orthopedic surgery in our valley, Randy Acker. And now we are on the long (3 months) road to recovery but at least she is on her way :)
She seems to be a lot more tolerant of things this time, knowing what to expect and is refusing to use any of the ramps we made for her during her first knee surgery. Good thing she can hobble around on 3 legs just fine on her own because 77lbs of yellow lab is not easy to pick up. We lovingly nick-named her new shaven leg "turkey leg" (just like the last one). She likes to let her turkey leg stick out behind her when she sits down like a directional arrow leading the way. Let's hope it points the way to a speedy recovery!

Oh sweet Lucy! I know how hard it is to comfort your dog after such a big surgery. She's lucky to have such a great family. She'll be back on the chase again in no time.
Glad to hear Lucy is taking this "in stride" with her usual gentle patience. Get well soon, girl!
