Kenji

Judy-- I just want to update you on how my best friend Kenji is doing. I adopted him a little over a year ago. It took some time before he would trust us since he did have some prior trauma in his life. I attach three photos. One is of Kenji as we got him...His right front leg was a mess and could not support his weight...We found that out last Christmas Eve when he jumped off the couch and sprained his left leg.....He was unable to support himself on his right leg and he fell flat on his face when he tried to walk. So we spent Christmas Eve at the ER. Fortunately he got well very quickly. But we decided something had to be done. We ended up taking him to University of Florida where Dr. Lewis worked a miracle. One of the photos shows the fixator device pinned to the poor guy's leg. Last pic shows how good his leg looks now. My wife and I both thank God that we had the means to pay for this surgery. Kenji is the best dog I have ever owned. He was so good when we had to do his physical therapy three times a day for about three months. Like I said, he only drew blood once when we worked it a little too hard one time..Now, more than ever, he loves to run and chase squirrels and such (although he never catches any). I have long standing PTSD (My VA pension paid for Kenji's surgery) and Kenji is a perfect companion for me..With his past traumas i think we kinda understand one another. thanks for letting us adopt him.
