Georgie is currently having ups and downs... The good weather means more walking which she is really happy to do - too happy. This is where the painkilers may be doing her more bad than good in that she throws herself into her walks but then regrets it later on in the day when she seizes up.
She loved the holiday weekend and the extra days at home, long walks and being with her pals - in the picture is Che (our lab) at the front followed by Isobel (our border terrier) then Georgie - the worlds most expensive rescue dog.
The Hip problems are still being treated with a mixture of accupuncture, Hydrotherapy and pain killers - but this is only postponing the inevitable.
We know that, by the start of 2009, she is likely to need the first surgery for the total hip replacement. It is not something that we are looking forward to but as she is only coming up to 4 years old it is something which will hopefully change her life for the better.
And the bills keep piling in. Thankfully Georgie is insured but we do have a 25% excess to pay on all of her treatment - and with each hip likely to cost at least £4,000 (before VAT) the expenses keep piling up - but she is worth every penny!
