Could Someone Toss Me A Rope!

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

These past 8 months have been somewhat trying times at our house.  First we had Lucy's CCL repair which her restrictions were lifted the same day that Sophie first got sick.  So Lucy's rehab walks got put on the back burner while we sorted out what was wrong with Sophie and then while we took care of Sophie.  Fast forward through 4+ months of Chemo treatments and at least weekly Vet visits.  Lucy has been so good throughout all the attention focused on Sophie, however, she has been limping on that repaired leg.  Usually just when she would get up after laying, but none the less it was bothering me that she was still limping.  So, last week I said we have to start focusing on Lucy and getting the muscles in this leg built back up.  I was so afraid that by neglecting her daily walks we had created more issues.  So, we started ensuring that she got her walks.  We started slow with one, then added a second and one day we did 3 walks.  Now these are only around the block, a mile at the most.  On the third walk on Wednesday she was limping a little so we felt like we over did it a little and decided to rest her yesterday.  Last night I noticed her limping a little more than normal and said to DH I think she is limping on her front foot.  He watched her and felt it was still her back foot.  Well, this morning there is no doubt that it is her front leg.  WTD, she hasn't even been outside off leash because of the weather.  I have felt the toes, the pads, in between, up and down the leg and she doesn't pull it away from me but she will not walk on it.  We were at the Vet's office yesterday picking up Sophie's ashes and as we were leaving I said to a couple of the resident dogs that hang out there that we wouldn't be back every week to visit them any longer ... so Imagine the Tech's surprise when I called this morning, Ugh ... off to the Vet we go again this afternoon at 3:00 to figure out what is going on now!  I just feel like I'm  at the end of my rope and the rope is worn out.  Please let this be something simple!

Oh goodness, Sheri! I really hope Lucy's problems can be easily fixed. Please keep us posted. Praying for the best -- it's the only rope I know that will reach from Texas to you!

Sheri I am praying Lucy's problem is very minor and will heal fast.  You are definitley in my heart with prayers and love.

Sheri, JD and I will have fingers and paws crossed that whatever is causing the limp is minor and easily remedied.

As for that rope, we've got a big net under you, kid.

Sheri, I am offering up my most fervent prayers that this is something minor. I'd tell you to hang in there but I'm afraid that you might use that rope. Sometimes you just have to smile to keep from crying. Big virtual hugs for you and Lucy.

Sheri - the 4 doodles and the humans are sending pawsitive thoughts and prayers that this is nothing!! 

I will be holding one corner of the net that Karen is holding!!!!!!
