Re: Chi Chi

I know how you feel keeping fingers crossed for you.My dog was hit by a van outside my house last week and the vet didnt give much for her chances.She is a lab,collie corgi cross and is the mostt loving dog you could wish to meet.We were heartbroken.She had broken and dislocated her hock and there was a crack in her spine.The vet did what he could by putting the joint back but was worried as she wasnt using her good back leg.He said if she used it she may be ok.There was talk of amputation to the bad one but that wasnt done.At one point it really looked bad,but my husband went up to visit her and took her out to the grass at vets and had a word in her ear(he is Tammys fave person)That day she stood and squatted and peed.The vet operated Friday to put a plate in to keep the hock from disjointing again and she came home Saturday.I cannot go out at the moment I will not leave her.She didnt walk Sunday and we started to worry again,Then yesterday she got herself out to the garden twice.But today she went out reluctant on the good leg again and hasnt gone out at all.2 steps forward 1 back.She has to have her bandages replaced tomorrow which may help .So I will be crossing fingers and toes for both you dog and mine.Keep faith the power of love can be a wonderful thing
