On Monday Bowzer had surgery to fix his torn cranial cruciate ligament (dog ACL). He had been limping by the end of the day a lot lately, even when we hadn't done any physical activity, so we brought him into the vet last week. He confirmed that it was a torn ACL and had an opening for surgery on Monday. Since it is a 12 week recovery we were happy to get it scheduled so that he will hopefully be all healed by the time it gets nice out and most importantly, in time for pool season! Bowzer had to stay overnight Monday so when we picked him up Tuesday night he was very ready to come home. He somehow managed to pull Brian out the door on only three legs! He is still hesitant to put any weight on his hurt leg so has been hobbling around. It's sad not having our happy puppy following us around the house but hopefully he will have a fast recovery and be back to 100% in no time! Not to mention he looks pretty silly right now with one shaved leg and some other patches of hair missing :)
