Turkey Day

Our friends Liz, Harlan and Mark spent Thanksgiving with us. Liz and Harlan brought their dog Alice who coincidently had a TPLO surgery on her right knee about four or five weeks after Walter. Unfortunately she doesn't have a blog of her own. None the less, her recovery is coming along quite nicely.

She made herself right at home...


Lately the squirrels have become even more bold than usual. They have taken to walking up on our deck as they seem to know that we won't let Walter out to chase them. In a few months they may be in for a rude surprise!

Meanwhile, here is one squirrel that knows it's place... Behind bars!


We had waffles and pancakes before our big Turkey Day bike ride. Guess who wanted some for himself...

Eight Week Check Up

Walter had his 8 week check up last friday. Okay, it's been 10 week's, but we had scheduling problems and couldn't get in until then. Anyway, other than the fact that Walter hates going to the vet, things went well. Dr. Beebee was very pleased with Walter's progress. He showed me the x-rays and you could see that his bone is healing very well. Good news all around!

Dr. Beebee measured Walter for a knee brace and we're trying to decide if it's something that Walter will put up with wearing as it's quite substantial as you can see in the link below!
