The Cast is Off!

After 5 weeks of struggling and wimpering and hobbling on her poor wee little tied up leg, dear little Maggie is finally a free pup. She will be 4 months old in 2 weeks, and for a puppy, thats an awful lot to go through. we took the cast off yesterday because she was chewing it to pieces and I figured why wait a day, but her xrays today showed a perfectly (somewhat) healed leg (with just a little callusing). But its muscles growth has been delayed quite a bit since shes grown 5 lbs since it was put on. so it will take a couple weeks for her leg development to be caught up to the rest of her. Lets just pray this doesn't happen again, I don't know if I could go through it all over again. Duncan is doing well with his obedience training classes and is walking with perfect ease. but still is stuck in 'alfa dog mode'. Heaven help us!

I'm glad that is over. Perhaps now she'll sleep a little better at night, too!!
