Sorry for the late updates, but it was a crazy time in Elk City, and I didn't have internet the whole time.
Poor Dave. He hurt his right knee a few weeks ago and had scheduled an appointment with the same surgeon that repaired his left knee two years ago. Unfortunately, the appointment was for this week, and he re-injured his right knee the day before the Elk City shows started. Luckily, it was Carolyn Herbel's club, and she knew someone who knew someone. We got him in that afternoon with a great Sports Medicine / Fitness Chiropractor-Physical Therapist. Dave limped/crawled into the office, using a grooming arm as a cane (still wish I had taken a photo!) but walked out. Dave saw him again on Friday morning. He is still in pain but had to get other handlers to help us show, especially the big dog. He limped around OK with the Havanese. Saw the surgeon this week, have MRI for next week. Fingers crossed that it isn't too bad and he can still make it around the ring for BRTCA Nationals. Then to rearrange his schedule to accommodate the surgery.
