Poor Brodie!

In April, our dog, Brodie, tore his ACL.  Now, the biggest question I get when I tell people that is, "How does a PUG tear his ACL??!!"  I completely agree and can tell you I have no idea.  Since Pugs aren't super active dogs, it's very rare that this happens to them.  My only idea is that Brodie normally runs/falls down our back stairs and probably twisted it while running down the stairs to bark at one of the golfers driving by.  Anyway, a couple hours of surgery and $1,500 later, Brodie's leg has been repaired.  He had a cast on for a week and then, was restricted from using the stairs for 2 months!  It wasn't that hard since he spends most of his time on the first floor and sleeps in his crate in the kitchen. It's now been many months and I can happily say that Brodie is doing much better and you can't even tell he ever had surgery!  Here are some pics of Brodie with his cute green cast on.  We all signed his cast too!
