The Dog Formerly Known as Asia

Well, she had a week to get better but it wasn't happening.  So, took Asia to see Dr. Ballotti at CO Ave. Vet Hostpital.  Yup... ACL tear as we all feared and she is going in for surgery first thing Tuesday morning.

I'm gonna start calling Asia "Rolex" from now on. 

Fortunately we all think it is early enough that there should not be too many other things damaged or compromised from her compensating for it.  The funny thing is that really this hasn't slowed her down at all.  She can still tear ass out of a room, just she doesn't put any weight on the back right leg.

Asia is such a good dog though... she was SO good at the vets.  She has come so far since her first days when I got her and even the slightest loud sound would scare her.  Poor thing.  Even the 7 foot tall vet tech that scared the hell out  her months ago and she would cower down and growl at, now she just lays on her back wiggling and demanding to be petted by him.   She's definitely worth the investment.  

Roxy... not sure what is up with her this week... she's been super demanding and acting like she is nine years old going on six months...  BTW, years ago, Roxy was renamed to "Mercedes" for the very same reasons... for what was paid for her in vet bills I could have been driving a new one!  

Taken last winter... on "their" couch.  Roxy is the white one, Asia the brown one.
