Today started out nice and quiet, all-be-it early! The momma and the dad took us girls to a place called Crab Cove in Alameda to check it out for possible future play dates, etc... Well, it cost $5 to park and then us girls had to stay on-leash (just about pulled the momma's arms out of their sockets!) AND they don't allow dogs on the beach! Except for it being pretty and having lots of squirrels, I don't think we'll be coming back.
Went by the house today so the dad could get his battery tender and his motorcycle cover out of the garage. Then we went over to grandma's to put them on the Harley. When we got home we just laid around all day while dad took his car out for a test drive after the momma got him new brakes and rotors Thursday.
Sometime during the race at Daytona, the Teddi was acting like she was in a LOT of pain. Of course all of our vets were closed (at least they didn't answer their phones), so the momma gave her a baby asprin and put an ice pack on her hip and gave her a massage. It seemed to work for a little while, but then she started shaking and panting and the momma said that meant she was in a lot of pain and they took her to the emergency doctors.
$420, a shot and an x-ray later they were told that Teddi had a torn ACL and needed surgery. They gave her some pain meds to take at home and told them they needed to find a surgeon right away and that it should cost between $1500-$4000!!
Our friend Kodi from the dog park had that done. His momma took him to UC Davis, so the momma will be calling them in the morning. So, we need everyone to say a prayer for her so that she recovers quickly! They are saying about 2 months of bed rest. Its going to kill her to stay home while we go to the dog park, but it will probably injur her leg more if we take her with!! And Sasha will drive us all crazy if she doesn't get to go out and run with her friends every day!! Not to mention that the momma is out of vacation, so if/when she does have surgery, she won't be able to stay home with her at all! Poor Teddi!! :-(
Boy has this been a rough year!! First I was diagnosed with glaucoma and a week later they had to take my eye because they couldn't control the pressure! Then the house caught on fire and we had to move to the right now house while they put it back together and now this! Ok -I think that's enough for one year, don't y'all?!?!? My goodness!!
Well, I think I'll head to bed and try to stay out of trouble! I hope it helps!! :-)
Thanks once again for all the love and support! Hugs!
