I'm back!

Yowza! It's been a while since mom let me blog. Something called Facebook was taking up her computer time. That's okay, cause I was having a blast running and playing and digging up the yard. Until one day last June when I tore my cruciate ligament. mom took be to see Dr. Russell that very day. He said I needed TPLO surgery, but when mom didn't have the thousands of dollars for that he said we might have a window of opportunity to let it heal on its own. That began a long time of crate rest. I could only go outside if I was on a leash and only for potty breaks. No fun! And talk about depressing! I got about as good as I could get, my leg can support me and I can run and play again. That's the good news. The bad news is that I am sick again. I don't know why, maybe it was the stress of the leg injury. Maybe it is unrelated. Dr. Russell took a look at me and said he thinks I have an auto disease. What? I love riding in the car! Oh, mom just explained...it's complicated. It is an auto-immune disease. We don't know which one. I need some tests done to find out. Dr. Russell was really concerned. He put me on prednisone to see if it helps while mom saves up for the tests. My skin is dry and my hair is thinning. I don't feel good most days. The good news is that mom is letting me eat some special food that is very good for me. She wants me to gain some weight! I love to eat and sleep and eat and sleep. Well, gotta go...mom said she will post some new pics soon so you can see how much I've grown and what I have been up too. Wags-n-kisses, Kolten
