Looks like Hex completely tore his CCL, so he's going to get his shin bone resectioned and screwed together with a plate.

Also he probably has a meniscal tear

And he probably needs to have the groove for his patella deepened because it's out of whack.

For a grand total of….$5300

If any of you haven't looked into it, Embrace Pet Insurance is WONDERFUL

Hex came back home on Wednesday after TPLO surgery. He's got 12 weeks of recovery ahead of him.

Poor Hex - what a worry.  Great that the surgery is over and that he's home again, wishing him a swift recovery x

You guys must be so relieved he's back home, where you can support him in his recovery.

He's putting more and more weight on that injured leg every day.

The worry has been he's overloading the other back leg, which can cause his other knee to blow out too.

It's been a rough couple of weeks. Thanks everyone who's been concerned.

Apparently the Vikings took their cats with them when they went pillaging, according to a recent research into their DNA.

That probably explains a lot about Tiger the Cat Burglar.

It also makes me think that this is way too appropriate…

Why the f**k does Coco my cat love Japanese denim so much ?

Nice cat fort.

My feelings on pets are pretty simple- I like them, but I don't want any of my own.  However, my wife decided that we are going to test drive a dog.  So I know that unless she mauls one of the kids, Lucy is going to be moving in soon.

Because I don't get a vote in this house.

[sabergirl]

Pretty soon she'll feel like one of the family, Chris!

What sort of animal is that? And will it look after itself when you are UK over the new year?

[Seul]

Why does it only have one eye, and a bit of tinfoil (I'll spare you the indignity of mispronouncing aluminium) for a nose?..

[Chris]

She's a Labradoodle- a Labrador retriever/poodle mix. They're supposed to be hypoallergenic, friendly and smart, despite the idiotic name.  Lucy was in training to be a service dog, but washed out of the program because she's too friendly.  Apparently, it's bad to have the dog wander off to meet new people when she's supposed to stay with the owner.

Despite my crappy photo, she has both eyes and a normal doggie nose.  The metal bit is her tag.  Jeez, what kind of dogs do you have in Belgium, Seul?

Oh, and no worries about the UK trip, Giles.  Julie is already making arrangements for her, despite the fact that we haven't actually decided to keep the dog.

Drunk ones.

This is @GuzziRob's dog Jake. I'm looking after him this weekend.

One time I took him out for a walk from my brother's house, and as we were passing a local pub, he turned to go into it. I think that @Seul would approve, and suspect him of being a Belgian Sheepdog, and not a Border Collie.
