Poor Jamal has had a rough week:
Click the image to get the full picture. Jamal is our family dog, who lives with my parents in Minnesota. He's nearly eleven years old now, which is getting on for old-old, considering what a big dog he is. He still acts the same as he always has, but he's gotten creakier in his advanced age.
He had a limp in his back leg that was getting worse and worse, and it was finally discovered that he had a torn ACL, not just a case of doggy arthritis. He went to the dog hospital yesterday to have knee surgery, and now he can join Rob in the Titanium club (I think having a titanium knee is slightly cooler than titanium teeth, but I'm not telling Rob that).
He's at home recovering now, looking very druggy in this picture. It's sad for me to not be able to give him pets, so I'll just have to send good vibes over the internet.
Napoleon(my puppy)and I wish Jamal a speedy recovery.

He's doing OK for now although he spends all his time listening to Iron Butterfly CDs and staring into a Lava Lamp. They say the drug patch can come off on Friday.
