Poor Lilly

On January 14th, Lilly completely tore her CCL.  Her knee ligament.




Josh made her comfortable the next morning.


And wrote her a get well card.

We took her to our vet.  A $3000 surgery.  I talked with my cousin, a vet.  We took her to another vet.  $2200 - 2500 surgery.

We decided to have the other vet do the surgery.  This past Monday.



Now she gets to wear a fun cone and lay around a lot.  Wait.  The laying around a lot is not new.



And Ellie wrote her a get well card. 

She goes back next week to have the stitches removed. 

And in case you were wondering, it's super fun to try and lift a 95 pound dog up and down four steps for her to do her business.  Thankfully she didn't take long to go down the steps herself.  And last night she went up by herself.  She doesn't care for the towel around her middle lifting option. 

And until she can walk on the knee well, she doesn't get to go upstairs at night.  So one of us has been sleeping downstairs with her.
