Bopcha Blog

I just finished a nice long blog note, only to have it disappear when I went to the image library to add a picture. Of course, I neglected to copy it first so now it's gone. Boo hoo. My second try, I managed to save first but when I tried to save it onto the blog, it disappeared. So---I'm pasting in what I wrote on my second try. I'll also try to add a picture. Sometimes, computers are simply not friendly to me. Here goes again:

---Great shot of Diana running.

---Tom got lectured by his knee surgeon, Dr Kam. When laying on the examining table yesterday, Tom couldn't do a straight legged leg lift with his left leg and he couldn't get his left leg to lie flat. "I had your leg perfectly straight when you were on the operating table, there's no reason why it should be crooked now---if you don't get full extension now, you'll be lame the rest of your life. Isn't your physical therapist working with you? Why aren't you able to lift your heel off the table? That's terrible!" Poor Tom. He went in, thinking Dr Kam would be pleased with his progress. So, a highly motivated Tom really went to work yesterday afternoon--ending up being able to do 5 leg lifts and forcing his knee much flatter than before. Of course, Jack the physical therapist was highly motivated too, after getting Dr Kam's lecture relayed to him by Tom. Naturally, Tom suffered a lot last night from aches and pains.

---Tornado's definitely ready to wean the pups completely. This picture is from this morning. She stood about 2 or 3 minutes and then walked away (while the scampered frantically after her). This afternoon, she visited with them but when they tried to repeat this morning's performance, she growled at them. Oh oh babies---I think you've had your last meal at the milk bar.
