Over my winter break, Delta and I were playing in the park. I threw a tennis ball for her to get and half way there she yelped. She hasn't put any weight on her back, right leg since! She had surgery to fix a torn ACL on Thursday, January 8th, in which they actually broke her leg and reset it to decrease the angle of her knee (lessening the weight is will bear in the future). So, there is NO running, playing, jumping, or stairs for the next 8 weeks! Right now she has to wear a head collar until the staples come out on Monday, January 19th. She has to be on a leash to go outside, which is GREAT in the
sub-zero temps we are having! After 8 weeks she can be slowly re-introduced to physical activity. She is ready to play now, which is a little hard to explain to her! So, thanks for all the thoughts and prayers directed our way. She is definitely high maintenance right now and not exactly enjoying life as a Delta dog. Jason says she'll be ready for spring training!

Wrigley is sooooo sad! We hadn't told her about her BFF Delta but she saw your post while I was checking out your blog. :( She sends her best to Delta and can't wait to play again when she's all better!
