Bionic Beagle

Two blogs in one day I am doing well.

Steve and I own an 11 year old beagle. Two years ago she was chasing a cat around the shed and tore her back left ligament resulting in her having a pin put in. Guess what she did her right ligament two weeks ago, so she has had a pin put in her right leg now. We now fondly call her the bionic beagle. She nearly costs as much as the bionic man now as well.

She hates us at the moment except when she needs to go to the toilet as we have 15 steps she needs to be carried up and down stairs, by the way she ways 17kgs so this is not much fun at the moment for her or us. Steve and I are going to end up with biceps on our biceps or bad backs (I think it will be the bad backs).


Our girl Xena


She has eight stitches

Sorry your big girl is not well. Have you thought of getting a two wheeled furniture trolley to carry her around? Put a box on it with her in it. Should help you both to stop looking like the incredible hulk! - Dave

Thank you Dave for your suggestion Steve and I actually thought of maybe a pully sort of system like they use on ships but were a bit scared of the patio collapsing under her weight. But today she actually made it up and down the stairs on her own and she had a smile on her face as if to say I can do this. I have one stubborn dog she hates to not be able to do for herself.
