Hip Dysplasia :-(

We got some bad news several weeks back. I had noticed some popping in Luna's hip, so I took her to the vet. As suspected, she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia. The good new is, I took her an orthopedic surgery and he said that she is an excellent candidate for corrective TPO surgery. We don't have the surgery planned yet, but I will keep you posted on her progress.

Rodeo Day

Back in March, we took Luna to the Austin Rodeo on "First Responders Day". Everyone loved meeting our little girl and we had lots of conversations with people about what we do.


Gene was so great about getting up some local photographers to cover the event. Thanks, Gene!

A Beautiful Day at the Park

Luna spent some time at Walnut Creek Park today with my son and his new Flip video camera. In the video are Zara, her bestest gal pal German Shepard and my grand-dog, Tippy. Dogs, water and leash-free=Luna's Disneyland.

Snow Day!

We had a snow day here in Austin yesterday.
This is the first time I've seen snow stick here in YEARS!!

Luna enjoyed running around in the snow and eating it off the deck.

Doggie Day Camp!

I've been taking Luna to Doggie Day Camp at Taurus Dog Training on Metric for a couple of months now. SHE LOVES IT!! She get's to play with other doggies her size and they take great care of her. The first time I took her they sent home this report card...too funny!

They also put up videos of the dogs playing on YouTube. Here are two with Luna in them:

Yesterday I had to go to Waco, so I took her to Day Camp for the day. First off, she didn't want to get into the car and then she pouted and whined the whole way there. I guess she thought this was yet another a trip to the vet or the groomers. When she got out of the car and realized where we were she got super excited. She could hardly contain herself at the front desk with her wagging..."Let's go!! I want to go down with the other doggies!!"

I also like taking her there because she's totally pooped when she gets home.

(yes, she almost takes up a whole twin bed)
