So the World's Best Dog had her first hard lesson this week. If you run in the house, someone will get hurt.
Maybe you. The dog was in a full puppy frenzy - playing, growling, chasing, chewing, and running, sort of a pre-bedtime burst of energy. She tore into the kitchen as if she'd seen a squirrel, and - we think - hit a cabinet and knocked her kneecap out of place.
Post surgery she's doing well. We're supposed to keep her "calm" for a MONTH to help her heal. She doesn't get it.
Luckily she's so good natured that when I hold her collar and prevent her from chasing the neighbor's dog, she simply sits and watches them longingly. I'm worried that puppy training class will be problematic, but I hope training her will give us good strategies for entertaining her without straining her leg...?
