My hip replacement surgery is booked

Yesterday I did not get any breakfast, them hoomans are so mean. My routine was different so I got very stressed.

My harness was put on so I thought great I’m off out sniffing but instead we were going out in the car, I like that too a lot so wasn’t too worried as long as I’m with my hooman. Couldn’t shake the thought of not having breakfast though……

We arrived at a place I remember well with kind hoomans and I was happy to see my specialist. He is a kind man and I love to have cuddles with him. He fixed my knees exactly one year ago which means I have a much better quality of life but things aren’t so good with my hips at all.

He gave me a thorough check up, feeling my knees, hocks, hips, spine, shoulders and then he gave me a nice stroke. When he touched my right hip I cried so bad, it really hurts. My left hip is also sore but the right is so, so ouchy.

I am a hugely wonky dog there’s no getting away from that, born with bad breeders that didn’t look after my pawents properly or do any health tests. You know the type- no questions asked just hand over the cash! I am only 3 but arthritis has set into my joints, my hip dysplasia is ever so severe that the bone grinds against bone and it’s very sore. My hocks kind of waft around but aren’t painful at the moment, they say I walk funny.

My hooman left me there with them vet hoomans. I was given something to make me go to sleep and they said they did imaging to look at both hips and my knees. I woke up then my hooman came back for me, I was so hungry that’s all I could think about.
