I want to take a few minutes to talk about Fur... A few weeks ago we took Truman/Fur to the vet and found out that he has basically broken his rear left knee. Diagnosis? A $4-5,000 surgery that would put him out for at least 6 months, and after rehab there was only about a 50% chance of him ever really getting back to "normal".
I'm not sure what everyone else's view of normal is, but even without the surgery, Truman is not letting his leg hold him back.
We knew an invasive surgery like the one that was suggested would dampen Fur's spirit and that's not the kind of dog he is. He's a sweet,active dog that would go nuts if he had to recoup for 6+ months.
He still goes to the beach and runs after the ball. He still takes off 50 yards down the beach to say hello to another dog (such a social butterfly!) but he definitely goes slower and wears out faster.
Escher is always trying to run him down! "FUR! NO FUR! BALL FUR!"
Uh oh, here he comes! Run away, Run away!
The look on Escher's face cracks me up.
The look on Fur's face is a little weird...
Fur is always around, watching us play.
Keeping an eye on us...
But ready to spring into action when there is fun to be had.
Such a good Fur...
