Where has the time gone?

It is not often that a golden retriever gets embarrassed.  We do a lot silly things all the time and we take them in stride.  But imagine my shock and horror when I discovered that I had not posted in over two years!  Wow.  And a lot has happened to me in that time.

Last summer I tore my ACL.  I can tell it was not a whole lot of fun.  I am not sure what was worse, the surgery or that stupid Elizabethan collar I was supposed to wear.  The folks at Marathon Animal Hospital took amazing care of me.

Unfortunately, due to a series of situations, my implant did not take.  That's the bad news, well that and another surgery with another three weeks of the damn Elizabethan collar.  The good news is that Dr. Doug felt the scar tissue that had built up on my knee would be enough to support my leg so while I had to have a second surgery to remove the implant, I would not have to have another put in.  So after lots of love and patience, three months off my office job, Dr. Doug said I was good to go. 

My only problem at this point was getting my hair to grow out.  Talk about having a bad hair day!  I had a bad six months!
