How about a photo of the outside of Charlie while on a nice walk? #actionshot

Yaaaaaay!

Happy to report that my daughter’s dog Zaya is also recovering well after an accident that required surgery and titanium pins in her “compound fractured” femur.  It’s nice to see our companions running around  again :)

Yaaaaaay +1

Thanks for sharing, Jen.  My brother is a vet.  He always says you need to know how many generations your client is removed from the farm.  A real farmer will spend about $50 to treat his dog.  It goes up exponentially for each generation off the farm.  Based on the looks of those films, I assume you are a few generations off the farm.  Money well spent.  Enjoy Charlie.

That is great news!

Jen. Thanks for the update. Happy Trails to you and Charlie.

Great success story. Glad you made it happen. Now go out and play fetch with Charlie :-)

That’s awesome!

Ha I’m three generations removed from the farm, my grandfather farmed squash in Los Angeles before it was Los Angeles….

I used to have horses. My favorite mare started to have halitosis, (bad breath) which is not normal for horses, normally their breath smells good, like hay or alfalfa. I took her all the way to Phoenix, (four hour trailer ride) and spent $5,000.00 for her all told in the end. She had to have x-rays on her head and they saw a tumor in her sinus. The vets recommended surgery where I had to rent a laser machine from the local university to cut into her face, due to the delicate nature of the area, and in the end they could not remove the tumor that was in her sinus after all that effort. They did get a biopsy and the tumor was benign. They did an excellent job, you couldn’t even tell she’d had the surgery, and she recovered like nothing happened. I didn’t care about the expense, I loved her. We ended up having 28 years together and I NEVER regretted a penny I spent on her, she was worth it. I hope you and Charlie have many fun filled years of hiking and playing together.:-)

Hooray! Go Charlie!

Jen, I’m so happy that things went well for Charlie. You did it! (cool radiographs too…). I agree, we need some trail shots of the little guy, like playing in a stream or something.

Not the best photos, but this guy wouldn’t stand still long enough anywhere else.  What a happy, happy guy!

Trying to get him in decent enough shape for a *hopefully* 60-mile section of the CDT in southern CO in a month.  Hmmm…..

That is a happy dog! Thanks for sharing!

Yay! Fantastic that he gets to have more time living the life he loves!  Makes it all worth it in the end.

No happier face than a golden in the water – even better if its cold.
