Poor Ruggie fell down in the garage on the way to go for a walk last week. He tore a ligament in his back leg pretty bad. He wasn't able to walk, and Chris was literally carrying him around the house. It didn't look good. We pretty much all said our good-byes to Ruggie before he went to the vet. It was so sad!
The vet said it was a torn ligament, and to wait it out. Ruggie is on pain pills. He seems to steadlily be improving, but he still has a hard time getting up and just lounges in one place all day. He can't go upstairs or downstairs, so Chris has been carrying him. It's really sad.
We are glad that our doggie is back with us, but it sadly feels like the beginning of the end. We are all trying to give him extra love (especially me, who really feels like I have been a negligent doggie momma for the past 4 years). We are hoping that Ruggie heals well, and is back to his old annoying habits of jumping on visitors and scavenging for food from the girls soon.
