Good! That’s what I was hoping for, but metaphor can be a little heavy handed so thanks for the feedback!

Thanks, Barry! The dog is recovering nicely. Not sure about the rest of the state of the union.

Oh! Suzanna, so sorry to hear this. I hope all returns to normal soon. Nursing people or pets is a 24/7 experience. Hang in there.

Sorry to know you’re going through this. Our daughter struggled through their dog’s ACL recovery during a period when her husband was away for work. Tough duty, for sure, but it was successful! Take care.

Good. He is going strong, and his other ACL remains intact, thank goodness!

When I say, "I can relate", I really mean it! You just summed up our last past 11 days. Gabe had ACL surgery on the 26th. Every word rings true. When the fur-babies hurt, so do we.

Oh my, Margi! That's crazy. I am so sorry about Gabe! It's really a huge deal, isn't it? Where did you put him in your house? How is he doing? You??? Sending hugs and pets.
