Miller - Back to Work...Mostly

[HoneyDreameMomma]

Miller is back to work - at least part time. His leg and hip have healed enough that he can go wander the property at his leisure, and we've set up a 'den' for him in the barn, so he can get away from everything. He still has to have a pain pill/anti-inflammatory for several more weeks, and of course he still limps sometimes, but considering how evasive the surgery was, he's doing great! He patrols, marks his territory, checks on his goats regularly, although he doesn't want to be with them full time yet (bouncy kids that climb all over his leg and hip keep him on the other side of the fence ). Last night we had a doe giving birth and it sounded like one of our neighbors cows was giving birth too, and you could hear coyotes all over the place. This is a picture of Miller and Clyde after they had been out chasing coyotes and other varmits. This peaceful scene was fairly short lived - they heard something and ran out to investigate. Love those boys!

Makes the heart just so happy. That is for you! You are such a great LGD "mom".

Nothing like a great dog!

Glad he's on the mend!

Really tough on a person when their dog is "down" for whatever reason. So glad yours is on the way to a full recovery! Just wondering if the family member that hit him offered to help in any way with the costs of his recovery? Seems to me the least they could do under the circumstances.
