TPLO Surgery Day

Today is TPLO Surgery Day for Natasha’s cranial cruciate ligament injury. We will post updates as we have them on our Facebook Page, Twitter, and our Google Plus page just as soon as we have them, so you can follow us on the social media page of your choice. Thanks for your good thoughts.

time in study

Hu-dad said he and I are going to spend a lot of time in his study over the next several weeks.

keep juniors

Kiska and Qannik have been given instructions to keep the Juniors in check until I am ready to handle them again.

Natasha will remain at the surgery center over night (monitored throughout the night) and return to Chez Herd on Tuesday. We will then have four weeks of very minimal movement to give the bone time to heal followed by about eight weeks of physical therapy. Our goal is that Natasha’s Christmas present will be a doctor’s permission to return to full activities.

Even after a long hike, a Queen must always avoid a fashion faux pas like, say, an out of place tongue. No, the Queen and Decorum are intact.
