i had always wanted a dog never was allowed to have one so when the time came for it i was dead set on owning a pure bred cocker spanial so i made a call to a local pet shop in my old home town and they told me they had lots of cocker spanial on sale so i said i wanted a girl so i went there with my heart happy that i was going home with a buff and white little female they had there when i got there she had been sold all they had left were boys but i did like one that was buff and white but my sister insisted that we ge a smaller breed dog so we looked around we saw shih tzus , snauzers , and even a rat terrier but i did not feel a connection to any dog probably because none were active they just wanted to be left alone finally the sales girl god bless mindy lol she says to me i have a dog that meets most what your looking for but he's mixed i was like great a mut and he's shih tzu and papillon he's gonna have crooked teeth and worst he was my least favorate color blk and wht so she brings him to me and my sister he was so tiny he was 3 pounds and was about to be 3 months old i was not impressed but i was wrong the minute i held him he licked my face like there was no tomorrow and my face would be the last he ever saw i thought that was cute he also did the same to my sister so i put him back where mindy got him from i said to my sister i'm getting the cocker spanial but everytime we walked by pluto in his pen he would jump up and cry at us so a lady and her grand daughter saw that and went to calm him down and look at him well when they picked him up he kept quiet and ignored them so they put him back i went up to him in his pen he kept whining at me so i picked him up he licked me on the nose so i said i think we should bring you home at that moment i felt the connection i was so looking for in a dog i had found my first dog and i don't look back at the cocker spanial i never got me and pluto have been joined to the hip since then and always will be ..

Well, it has seemed like forever, but Lacey's 12 week rehab from her knee surgery is finally over. She has been doing very good the past couple of weeks. She has gradually been becoming more active and playing more. She really seems like her old (well young but you know what I mean) self again. I am very relieved at that. I have never had a dog that has had surgery before and I didn't know what to expect after her recovery. Tonight it was like she knew her rehab time was over. She ran around the living room at top speed. Just running in circles, burning off energy she hasn't been able to burn off over the past 12 weeks.

Now I guess it is just a waiting game to see if everything is okay with that knee and the other knee. I truely hope it is. I would hate to have her have to go through this again. It was tough on everyone involved. Even Logan was sad not to be able to play and wrestle with his best buddy.

I guess I will just have to keep my fingers crossed that my little girl will be okay from now on and hopefully no more surgery for either of them.
