Since I've been sitting around waiting for my knee to heel (or at least waiting to find out if walking on it will make it worse), Lucy has forsaken all hopes of outings. I feel like a bad dog owner, but figure that ultimately, a healed knee will make me a better dog owner than an unhealed knee...
I hope it heals soon. My daughter's blind labrador (in our care) is much the same at the moment as he has a sore foot and can't be taken for walks. He's very forlorn just like poor Lucy.
