In case anyone out there is wondering. Benji made it through his surgical recovery with flying colors. He is back to his bouncing self.
He has gained 8 pounds so he is on a diet. He is not overweight but has been told to not gain anymore. So we have changed his food to dog food lite. It is good for him and he likes it. He is a little disappointed that he cannot have any table scraps. He will live.
He plays ball and goes in the car and runs like crazy. His leg is as good as new. I don't regret the cost although many people have asked about it. Yes it cost a lot. Yes, I went into debt. But this dog is special. I took him on and am fully responsible for him. I am one of the lucky ones that could do this for their dog. I thank God that I am able to take care of him the way he protects me from the garbage man, the UPS man, the Fed ex man, the mail man, the pizza delivery guy and the little 7 year old girl who collects for the paper.
