Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

Time to update on the boys.  I have not updated this blog on the boys for the longest time.

Here is Ranger, laying on my piece of cloth where I was getting to cut out for DB’s jammies.  I laid the cloth on the floor, he walked right in to the room and just plopped himself on it.  Commanded him to “Move”, he looked at me, put his head down and let out a loud sigh.  DOG!!!  Who is in control here, huh?

Anyways, Ranger will be going for a knee surgery in two weeks time, when I’m gone on my vacation.  I wanted the surgery to be done before I leave this Saturday, but the doc has no open slots for him.  Ranger torn his left knee ligament.  He has been limping for quite some time now.

That’s Ranger at the vet’s office after his day with the vet examining, and doing x-rays on him.

This is one of the x-ray showing his left leg.  It’s very obvious he is losing muscle mass on his left thigh.  The left thigh is small due to him putting all the weight on his right.  The picture here is not that clear, but where the thigh and shin bones meet, the ligament is off chart. The x-ray shows his hips are in perfect shape. So when I come back from my vacation, he will be back to normal.  Right now, his walks are shorten and some days no walks at all coz I felt bad for him.
