Marlee in for surgery

We went to see the small animal surgeon this morning.
We left there with $650 less deposit and no Marlee Mu Mu!
She's having surgery today on her dinky right knee and will stay overnight at the vets.
Two months recovery! No running, no stairs, no couch jumping. Eeek, she's going to drive us nuts! She'll even have to be on the leash when she goes out to do her business!!
The surgeon said we shouldn't wait until after our holiday, as her condition will probably get worse, and the chances of a better outcome are better the sooner its done. So she went straight in. That way she'll have 9 days at home to recover before we fly off to Cairns next week.
No running on sand! Craig and I had grand ideas about jogging on the beach with our dog. Now it'll just be the two of us. Marlee will have to be confined at the holiday house. Poor munchkin. However, after her stitches come out, she will be allowed to swim in the pool - good rehab for her. She'll just have to be carried everyhwere else! Que sera, sera.
