StarFox Posted January 18, 2004 Posted January 18, 2004 Just a little Zebra update for everyone. Today we took him for his last check-up so the doc could see how his hip was healing. When we got int he waiting room there was a realy beautiful Saint! But he/she was kinda on the small size...the Saint was bearly taller then Zebra! So the Doc took Zebra and we waited and while waiting I meet my first Black GSD!!! :D He was soooo beautiful I was in love! But the poor thing couldn't use it's back legs at all, he just kept dragging his legs behind him, it was so sad. They finally called us in to see Zebra x-rays, and guess what?! He's perfect!!!! Well at least his right hip is! The doc said "Well the bad news is that you won't like me after he has his two other operations.". I asked him why and the doc said that Zebra is going to be "twice as strong". :o :-? I realy can't imagine Zebra TWICE as strong as he is now. But the bad thing is that the Doc wanted to scedual both of his other opperations in 2-3 weeks. That would cost app. 8,000!!! And we just don't have that kinda money. So we are going to put it off untill May. I swear I'm going to start calling him the 6 Million dollar dog! I could buy a car with the money we are spending on him. :roll: Anyways I just wanted to tell everyone that Zebra is doing great. He dosn't fall anymore when he runs. He don't "bunny hop". And he sits perfect now, and dosn't favor one hip over the other. He is a very happy dog. :P Quote

drjeffrock Posted January 22, 2004 Posted January 22, 2004 Hey Starfox- I got Dex from the West L.A. animal shelter on Bundy. Christine and I had been searching for a month or so for a second dog. We walked in and saw Dexter. He immediately came up to us and was like "PLEASE, PLEASE take me home with you!!" We could not resist. :D Quote
