Lucy's Knee Recovery

Dogs are amazing creatures.
Ms. Lucy had a major knee surgery a little over two months ago and she is back in action like nothing ever stopped her. The TPLO surgery that Lucy had is very common for dogs and not something that can always be prevented. Humans have the same surgery on their ACL tendon in their knee and it normally takes a year to heal completely. Dogs take anywhere from 2-4 months. Since Lucy is still our "puppy" and only two years old we thought this would never happen to her. But since it has we have really learned a lot about the persistent optimistic attitude that animals have and why we must love them so much. Yesterday Lucy got to play at Petit Lake just like any other dog chasing, swimming, and fetching sticks. We are so happy to see our doggy be free again! Thanks Randy and Sun Valley Animal Center for making our dog turbo :)
