Yes, Poor Sable! Last weekend Sable had a slip on our stairs and hurt her leg. She had a severe limp and we decided to take her to the vet for a check. Unfortunately, they found that she had cracked her knee cap and needed surgery to fuse the piece back together, in hopes to regain mobility. She came home the next day after surgery with this monster cast on her hind leg. It goes all the way up to her hip and she has a terrible time moving about. She was wearing a very large lamp shade on her head, but she is taking the cast in stride and is not trying yet to chew the cast. She will basically live here in this dog bed in the middle of our family room for about 8-12 weeks. Wow...did they really say 8-12 weeks?
Fortunately, we all love Sable very much and she get lots of love and attention from everyone. The kids have been great being little nurses for our favorite pet. They immediately "autographed" her cast with notes about how much they love her (although, Natalie wants Sable to have a purple cast --one...maybe on Monday when they take it off to tend to her incision.) Natalie is also very concerned about Sable and making her feel better and made this lovely get well card with pictures and get well wishes. How wonderful is this!
Get well Sable, we all love you!
