I just spent the last two hours in a big holding cage next to the Animas
River laying on a comforter with Crash. He was going to have no part of
being poked and prodded by the vet so he had to be tranquilized in order to
calm down for the vet to do the necessary tests to determine if his knee was
actually going to need surgery. The whole time I was praying for acceptance
of what was to happen and saying my goodbyes, just in case. These big dogs
sometimes fail during surgery.

The tranquilizer didn't really do the job so the vet came out and
administered a general anesthetic and did the flexion tests. The verdict was
that the surgery would be necessary so that's what is happening right now.
These guys are too big to make it on 3 legs like smaller dogs. My heart is
gonna be in my throat until I hear from them later tonight.

Hey Deej,

I feel for you. Taking care of a sick animal that you love is hard stuff.
I'll say a prayer for your pup...
