Black Dog Sunday

Many of you remember that our Black Dog had very major elbow surgery in 2016. This was a few months after it. We still had a harness on him so that we could help him not injure the elbow. His sister was his nurse. I found her snuggled against him very frequently.

A couple of years later, he could run like the wind again. This was during a late May trip to New Mexico. We camped in a glorious spot, and these two loved running across the soft grass.

Our Black Dog was truly irrepressible. Nothing could get him down. I'll try to use his joyful attitude when the predicted snow arrives tonight. Happy Black Dog Sunday!

  5. Surgeons really can transform lives for the better sometimes. (Long story, but in short had it not been for some very highly skilled surgical intervention when I was in my early thirties I would almost certainly have lost my right arm!)
    Cheers, Gail.

    The two pups looks so joyful as they run towards you. And the snuggle shot is so sweet.

  9. I never get tired of seeing those two together - what a perfect pair! I think Shyla learned so much from R and she is sharing all that with Hachi as well. ♥

  11. More snow! Holy cow - what a spring!

    You did such a great job rehabbing R after surgery, and Nurse Shyla was standing by to help. :-)
