The truth about Autumn

So we have been very lucky with our little puppy. She has always been healthy, well trained, smart, active and full of life. Never would we have imagined that she would have any problems but our poor little puppy has been growing old and as all living beings age there are always problems. For the last two and half weeks we have been dealing with a dog that hates being indoors, being on bed rest in the hopes that she would heal. However, she did not and today she had x-rays revealing that apparently she has been playing too much football! A torn CCL (Cranial Crutiary Ligament) is the verdict. So our beloved puppy will be going in for surgery in the next few days and hopefully all will be well. Unfortunately this does mean that she will be out of commission for a while and that she will miss our annual bounce fest in the snow =( So sad! Please send Autumn your good thoughts for a safe surgery and good recovery and we will continue to do the best we can for her! Thanks!

Update!
So we have come to the rehabilitation stage of surgery. The surgery only took a few hours and she had an overnight stay in the Vet Hospital. Autumn is now home and happily dozing in her bed with us! It will take 8 weeks for some normalness to return but we are mostly happy that she will have little to no further pain in her knee. We are looking forward to her improved movement and hope that she will be bound through the snow by next December!
