Whilst last week was busy with dogs starting new beginnings this week has began just as busy but with a total different slant. It seems like I am constantly at the vets, and we have two very brave big boys recovering right now.
Lennox began limping on one of his back legs over the weekend, and thus there was a vets visit first thing Monday morning. Unfortunately Jonathon's initial suspicions proved right, as today's surgery confirmed that Lennox had ruptured his cruciate ligament. There was signs of an old injury, and that would maybe explain why he was described as "wobbly on his back end" when he was found as a stray all those miles away. Perhaps he had the injury and his owner kicked him out as opposed to paying the vets bills? Anyway the big guy has had his operation now, and I just look forward to seeing him back on his feet. There will be more on Lennox after I collect him from the vets.

Lennox, so happy and proud.

Today also saw another big SHAK oldie going into surgery as Smokey had a large lump removed from his side. We think the lump is just a cyst, but felt that given his age and the fact that he has battled back from testicular cancer in the past that it was best to get in removed. This big old guy is such a character and I believe he's had a fun packed day even despite the surgery!

Get well soon boys, we're all so proud of you.
