Late this summer Ellie started limping, and come to find out my best friend in the world has blown out her left knee. We have been struggling to get a diagnosis, and it finally came. Ellie will need to undergo TPLO surgery to fix her hind leg. The vet hospital says it needs to happen as soon as possible so that she does not blow out her other knee. 

Ellie is my best friend and greatest companion, and it kills me to see her in so much pain. With this surgery she will be back to the dog park for the new year, and we will once again be able to go on our hikes.
