Monday Morning Sweetness

A few weeks ago, Joel got home from work before Ruthie woke up from her nap, I turned on the monitor a few minutes later to see them both passed out in her big girl bed.  So sweet.
 

Just pure sweet all the way around.  My big helper, always wants to be doing what I'm doing and does a pretty good job at it. 
I also posted this on FB, but do any of you have experience with torn ACL's in dogs?  Our beloved Chloe seems to have torn her ACL and it is such a bummer.  Joel's having to carry her up and down the stairs and she's so bored just laying down all the time. I've been researching it like crazy and we are leaning towards the non-surgical route but would love to hear anyone's experiences with it.  From what the vet said, the surgery is thousands of dollars (and will likely happen again within the next year to her other leg), followed by 12-16 weeks of rehab and PT (hello new baby).  My head is spinning.  TY.

Ford torn the CCL in both his back legs and had the surgery, but probably would have been fine without the surgery. I waiting a year inbetween the surgeries (he tore the second leg a month after the first) and almost didn't do the second surgery because he was doing so well. One of Mom's dogs has torn theirs and never had surgery and is doing fine....
