LATEST ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

@Michael Skorulski: Oh yes it is heartwrenching - the puppy had adapted to her cast when I visited - but I remember when my dog broke a leg years ago! She just screamed in pain when I had to move her to get her to the vet! OK once casted though! This little one found all kinds of positions for her casted leg while sitting or just dragging it along with her ! I laughed when my daughter-in-law had bought sun hats for the other two - she treats her animals like children, perhaps because they haven't any! But, the heat was tremendous on the deck most days - so perhaps it was a good idea after all. She usually took the dogs out to swim in the lake - but they didn't go once Jessie had broken her leg and had to keep it dry. They have an upturned satellite dish sunk into the back garden at the rear which they keep filled with fresh water, and the older dogs dunk in that to cool off! It gets pretty hot in the Okanagon Valley, up to 40 C during July and August. Thanks for visiting - always appreciate the comments :-)
