Poor Duke

This is my puppy Duke... two days home from his broken leg surgery. He is being such a good boy! He last weekend jumped out of the back of the truck. After many tears and many phone calls we decided that we would do surgery. This $500 dog just turned into a  $1500 dog in like three days. He is to be confined 4-6 weeks, no jumping running swimming or stairs. He hates his kennel. He doesnt really wanna go anywhere he just wants to be outside in his cool dirt hole. We thought it would be bad with the dirt so we put a carpet piece down in his normal spot and he has been just as happy.

This is a close up of his main insigne, he has two pins in his leg, one big rod that goes his whole leg then a little cross pin to help hold it all in place. He broke it right on the growth plate. He has been really quite and been really such a good boy, its just sad to keep him all cooped up when he is a puppy and wants to play.  Cross your fingers that the healing process goes as good as it can!
