We took Lacey in this morning for her surgery. The surgeon called a little while ago and Lacey was out of surgery and resting comfortably. They had to do the same procedure they did on the first knee back in 2007. She will stay there over night and we have an appointment to pick her up tomorrow at 2pm. I will post more info and photos after we get her home. Hopefully this is the last surgery she will have to have.

I haven't written in a while as things have been crazy around here. Unfortunately, this is not a more happy post but Lacey has been limping more and more on her right knee. For those of you who have not read her previous posts she has already had surgery on her left knee for a luxating patella back in 2007. At that time they told us there may be a chance that the right knee would need to be operated on also. We hoped that day would never come...

Well, it is here. She has been picking up that leg more and more when she is running, etc. We took her into the vet on Thursday and her knee was totally out of place. We took her home watched her and thought about it. I just emailed our vet this morning and she already got back to me saying surgery is Lacey's best option. I am waiting for her to reply again but we are hoping to get a referral to the place that did her first surgery.

I will keep you all posted and begin writing much more often again. I just realized how much I wrote about her first knee surgery and it was great to have that log to look back on!!
