KEEP ON RUNNING..
This time last year, life was full of worry for our Betty Boo as she had been in pain with a cruciate ligament injury for some time, then developed a nasty infection in her leg following invasive surgery and became worryingly poorly. My husand and I raced Betty to the specialist vet for urgent treatment one horrible May morning, a couple of weeks after surgery and gave up any idea we may have had of celebrating her sixth birthday...
Betty was stoic, determined and sweet-natured throughout what was an incredibly tough twelve months to follow. She became our inspiration in how to deal with each painful day moment by moment and to trust and find joy in even the tiniest of things. Unfortunately our poor girl needed further surgery only four months after her first operation and didn't escape her injuries completely pain free, so is now coping with residual arthritis in one surgical leg but with treatment and careful management, she can now run free again ... and for Betty, that has been the best birthday gift of all.
Happy 7th Birthday my beautiful Betty Boo, may the sun continue to shine for you and may your new legs keep on running for many years to come!
