When I got Misa I thought I was not going to be able to handle her. She was very hyper. I had to rehouse break her. And, she was very destructive. Then one day something changed all that. I was taking Misa for a ride in my Jeep. She loves going for car rides. She was always good about jumping up in the Jeep. Except this time she slipped. She had a little cut on the inside of her rear leg at the ankle bone. She would not walk on it at all. I called the vet and they said, if she was not walking on it the next day, to bring her in. I prayed that she would. But, the next morning she still was not walking on it. I took her to the vet at 8:00 am and before I knew it, she was in the surgery room. She had torn her tendon. The vet said she had a 50 50 chance she would walk on her leg again after surgery. Days, weeks, and months went by and Misa was still not walking on her leg. I decided to get a second opinion. This vet had suggested that she not walk at all for 3 months except to and go outside. This was the hardest! I kept her kenneled for almost 4 months. Then she started to recover. She was walking on her leg but she wouldn't stand still on it. At this time was when I received the call from my friend about Maggie. Ever since we got Maggie, Misa has not lifted that floor off the ground. I always say that all she needed was a friend. So now I have accomplished the house breaking because Misa was kenneled for so long. She doesn't have the temperament she had before. But now we have Maggie...... |
