It's my dog in a box!



No, not like that. More like this:



Paco remains in good spirits although it's evident he's in a great deal of pain. Even though he has to use his back legs to balance while pottying, he cannot bear weight on either one. More and more it looks like well have to get a bilateral TPLO. The fear is that neither leg is strong enough to support a fraction of his weight during recovery. I guess we'll just do whatever the vet says on Monday.

Right now we're a little overwhelmed by everyone's generosity. The one shining light in this whole situation is seeing how many folks care about our little guy. When we see the doctor Monday we'll know exactly what we have in store, how much more we'll have to raise, and when we need it by.

It's a stressful and sad to see such an exuberant dog in such obvious discomfort, but knowing the situation is temporary makes it a little easier (although it's hard to convince him of that!).
