I’ve come up with new names for JoLee and Star: “Worm Boy” and “Gimpy Girl.” Shortly after I brought JoLee home, Star developed a mysterious limp on her right hind leg after playing with him. A few months ago I took Star to a chiropractor, and then to a specialist in Omaha for x-rays. The specialist told me he couldn’t figure out what it was, but could do exploratory surgery on her for $2,500.00. I figured I could give Star a whole lot of pain medication for the same cost as the exploratory surgery, with far fewer side effects. I’m hoping that Gimpy Girl will rest her knee while Worm Boy is down for the count; if all goes well, I could end up with two happy, healthy dogs!
