"2" Today

It is my "2nd" Birthday Today!! Can't believe I am TWO already!! I was born on the 9th March 2010

Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad

HI!!

Picture of little ole' me taken yesterday

 Chilling Out in Dads' chair whilst he was in work...

Hi there! Sorry I haven't been around for a while - hip problems as usual. I had to go back to see my specialist as I was having some pain again. Seems like I may have pulled a muscle but they did more x-rays whilst I had a nap and came to the conclusion that my hips need sorting  sooner rather than later now. The only problem is - my hip socket hasn't developed enough to take the new hip so they have taken all my measurements and sent them off to the USA where my new hip is being made and they are going to try to make one that will fit. They are not 100% sure that it will work and if it doesn't they will cut the ball of my hip off so basically I will not have hips. I will then have to keep my muscles built up to support me. To be honest I don't much like the sound of it but we are at a loss to know what else to do if my new hip does not work. Thats my right hip - my left hip has even less chance apparently as that is even less developed.

I have an appointment for it to be done on 27th February but this hasn't been confirmed by the vet  yet so Mum is going to try and postpone it untill 19th March when Dad has leave from work to make it easier.

Hope all you guys are well and enjoying the new year so far.

Second Knee Operation

Sorry I haven't been around for a while. My knee op was delayed so I had my second knee surgery last week on Tuesday 4th October (luxating patella). The operation was a lot more problematic than the last knee but I am doing well. I will be having my staples removed in a few days and then we will be preparing for my hip replacement in the new Year.

This photo was taken 5th October when I returned home after a night at the veterinary hospital. I was having some pain and not feeling too happy, hence the sad face, BUT, I am well on the mend now and back to my happy old self and getting into allsorts of mischief as usual. What would they do without me!

Thank You

Casper before his operation

Thank you everyone for all your lovely well wishes, kind thoughts, emails and advice. It means a lot to me and my Mum and Dad. Just to update you, the response we have had from my breeders has been very derisary, I cannot go into details at the moment for legal reasons, but Mum and Dad are not happy with the outcome so a formal letter is going out today and we have been told that we have a good case to be represented in court, so unless anything changes e.g. a better offer, it looks like that is the road we will be going down.

Mum also intends to start a campaign/petition as we feel that breeding puppies with genetical problems must stop here and now, (especially by breeders accredited by The Kennel Club). We do not want to see any more puppies have to suffer with my conditions.

Mum and Dad took all precautions before purchasing little ole' me. I was purchased from a breeder accredited by The Kennel Club and Mum and Dad went all the way to Nottingham to get me to ensure (or so they thought) that they were getting a puppy with no genetical problems. So what went wrong? This is what we need to campaign about, to ensure this does not happen again to anyone else. Mum has been a campaigner for animals for many years, petitioning, standing outside with banners in the rain and so on, no matter what the distance, so she's an old hand at this and she's like a dog with a bone when she feels something is wrong especiallyconcerning animals.

I am feeling much better every day now but it is going to be a long old haul to get me walking properly again. As I said in a previous post I have to have my right knee operated on in around 6 weeks (same as this op), and then there are both hips to be replaced one at a time. Mum says I'm a tough old "Chocolate Pudding" and that she is very proud of me. My vet has said that after all the surgery has been completed I should be able to walk and run like any other dog, so I'm looking forward to that.

I will let you know when my campaign is online so you can pop along and show your support, and have your say if you would like to. I am now on Facebook so I will be adding my badge to my blog soon so that you can visit me there too.

 See ya all soon
