Oh what a week!

We are finally back from the last appointment for the week.

(Warning: if you are squeamish, you may not want to see the stitches on Indy or Ankica's x-ray below...just saying...)

Saturday and Sunday were spent in Florida with my M.S./Ph.D. advisor and his family.

Monday involved going to a Bible Study, picking the dogs up from the vet clinic, and a huge grocery run.

Tuesday was MOPS and cleaning.

Wednesday was the biggest day. Ankica fell out of bed at 1am and through a very long day of events, it turns out she broke her clavicle. We also took Indiana in for her knee surgery (she blew out her ACL) and picked her up that night.

Today was a day of doctor's appointments for both Indy and Ankica. Would you believe that the doctor said it should only take TWO WEEKS for it to heal?!?!?! He also said the funniest thing: the joke is that if the two pieces of a broken clavicle are in the same room they will find a way to heal :-) I was super glad to hear that.


The girls had a good time playing in Indy's crate before we put her in. She needs to be crated and carried up and down stairs for 6 weeks!



Here is Indy and her surgery site. (I just realized that the girls toy utensils are lying next to Indy and look like they were used for the surgery :-) ) The vet said it looks really good. She is, however, really back to her old self and tried to jump into the van when I tried to pick her up after the visit today. So I have a fat lip but hopefully she didn't tear anything further. She looks okay for now.


Ankica and her sling. She doesn't really like it but just having it on (even though she doesn't keep it on quite right) reminds her that she needs to be careful. She has been playing fairly normally and is generally in good spirits.
