Poor Girl

Back in February Kenai fell off the playground equipment and was limping.  This limping continued for quite some time, and we decided to take her in to be seen.  We were told she probably had a partial tear in her doggy ACL.  The surgery to fix it is a big deal, so we put if off, hoping her leg would heal itself.  Well, fast forward a few months, and she was still limping.  We finally decided surgery was our only option.  On Tuesday, she went in for the big day.  It was so sad dropping her off knowing what was coming for her.  (Yes, I was crying.)  After the surgery Kenai got to spend the night at the Doggy Hospital.  Today Tim picked her up and brought her home.  It was so sad seeing her.  Looking into her eyes, you could just tell she was sad and in pain.  She will be confined to her kennel for 2 weeks, and after that time we can start walking her the distance of 3 houses twice a day.  In about 4 months she will be almost good to go, and then at the end of 6 months, we should have our happy girl back.  Needless to say, it will be a long winter for her.  We are so proud of our amazing girl, and we hope for a pain free recovery!  Love you Kenai!
