Carissa Anne update

On July 28 our sweet Carissa Anne underwent surgery to repair the old cruciate ligament tear that had never been treated. She came through with flying colors, and is now ready for a long, six week recovery. Her exercise is very limited right now, out for potty and then right back to her kennel. She is being treated at Culver Palms Pet Hospital, and they have fenced in a wonderful grassy area in the side yard at the hospital. This makes a perfect spot for the walkers to take Carissa several times a day. She can do what she has to do, and then can lie in the sun and be easily available for her favorite pastime, being petted. The picture shows a bare spot on the side of her face. There was a growth there which was removed during her surgery. It was benign, so Carissa only has to worry about getting better, getting some strength back in that leg, losing quite a few pounds, and finding herself a forever home to make up for the years of neglect. Not a difficult job for a beautiful six year old girl.
