Poor Griswald...

Today we found out that Griswald has to have surgery! He somehow tore the ligament behind his knee. This is equivalent to a human’s ACL. I took him to the vet last week because we were concerned that he was getting arthritis in his back right leg. The doctor thoroughly checked him and said it could be the start of arthritis but there was no definite way to know. The other possibility was that he pulled a muscle. We’ll it turns out the he had a slight tear in his ligament and he completely tore it yesterday when we let him outside in our back yard (darn squirrels!).

As if we don’t have enough going on in the next few weeks – now our poor little pup has to have surgery! He looks so pitiful walking on 3 legs. Honestly, I think it bothers us more to see him like that than it does for him to walk like that. He’s not in too much pain; in fact he still wants to chase squirrels!
