Puppy Problems...

So after the move...last week I was doing what I could (albeit unsuccessfully) to try and get recovered and well rested and loose. Firday morning brought another major distraction. My 6 1/2 month old puppy Italian Greyhound, Ajax, (very fast runner and is just as clumsy as fast) is running one direction- looking in another- and clips his front leg on a chair.
The vet showed me xrays and how badly he broke his leg. Luckily he's still a puppy, and with the help and extreme generosity of Jenny at Lifeline Italian Greyhound Rescuehe was able to get the surgery he needed on Monday from the best in the region at Inver Grove Animal Hospital on Monday.

My little buddy is confined to a kennel for much of the time because of his ambitions to take flight off anything at anytime...apparently even with a broken leg- although he is a little more hesitant at least. Luckily the pain meds keep him well relaxed and drousy enough to handle it for now. The surgeons expect full recovery since he is so young and they were able to realign everything nicely.

Needless to say though there were some long nights this last weekend with him before his surgery...if he couldn't sleep well...he wasn't gonna let anyone else sleep well! Luckily he wil be okay though...he's on the road to recovery.
