Good news and bad news

So, the good news (or GREAT news!) is that Adrianna does NOT need surgery for her foot. Her Doc said that there's really no surgery he can do that will help it and he expects that Adrianna will heal fine on her own. She is wearing an ugly boot for 6 weeks and then should be fine with minimal residual issues.

The bad news is that we had to return Buddy to his breeder today. It turns out he is unilaterally deaf - and his "good" ear isn't even that good. It was a very difficult decision because we all had already become very attached. He's so sweet and lovable, but we were concerned for his safety. It was a long drive there and back, with lots of tears. We'll keep in touch with the breeder as she looks for a special home to accommodate his needs. Boo hoo hoo! We'll wait awhile before starting our search for another pup. It's just very hard for us now.
