Hello Friends, Merlin has agreed to let me post on his blog again. I went to see the Vet today. I have a partially torn ACL. It will require surgery to fix it. My peeps are trying to figure out the best time for me to have it done. I feel good about finally getting this fixed. The bad news is until I have the surgery I am not allowed to do much of anything. After the surgery there will be weeks of rehab that involves mostly leash walks! I hate that. In about 10 weeks after the surgery I will be able to play but a full 6 months for complete recovery. I am glad my peeps are going to help me feel better. I met some very cool dogs at the Vet. I just want to mention how much I enjoyed meeting Bella, the Pomeranian with the broken foot. Also, the 2 Boston Terriers, Sonny and Cher. Mostly I enjoyed meeting Princess who had been rescued from a shelter just 2 weeks ago. She is a beautiful girl who has gotten a second chance. Hooray for peeps that rescued dogs from shelters, like me! Mimi
Well, the park was really nice today. My person and I walked a long way without seeing anyone that we really hang with. After the beach we saw Fred and Dexter. I could not focus on that because there was something very strange going on behind us. Now, I want to point out that this is the DOG park, AKA DOG walk section of town. I have come to accept some joggers and I have talked at length about how much I like the Disc Golf folks. Today there were 2 people without a dog. They were not jogging and had no disc anywhere. I got nervous and barked at them. What are they doing here without any of the reasons peeps come here? My person put me on lead and calmed me down. She let me go and I gave those folks a sniff and let them pet my head. I still find them to be a little bit suspect. So, we ran into my little Pierre and Benji pals. Their new sister had a bad upset stomach which was messy at best I hear!
Pretty little Bella came by. She did it! She reached the big birthday. Bella is 1 year old! They said she would not make it. Go Bella.Up the hill and right into Ziggy we ran. We are getting along fine these days. We chased a ball together and Ziggy dug a big hole while our peeps talked. A very cool Cocker Spaniel named Kirby came by and said hey.
We moved on and saw Big Scout and Clyde toward the end of the walk. Sweet Earnest and Birdy rounded out a really pleasant day.

Mimi I am glad that you are being brave about your upcoming surgery just remember to follow all the suggestions your people and the new vet tell you...and take your time getting back to your regular routine...I must also tell you I have heard about a different Sonny and Cher they were people and sang together for a while I wonder if the 2 Boston Terriers were named after them, I also wonder if they sing..I think it is somewhat funny when people name dogs after people there are so many great dog names ...but I guess they could not think of two that were just right...Thank Merlin for me for letting you blog an update on the visit to the new vet it was very nice of him....
