Marty’s photo of the day #4680: Nellie, ears flapping! She’s now damn close to being just as fast as she was pre-bionic left-rear leg (surgery to remove her cranial cruciate ligament, refit the bone in her knee—all held together with a metal plate and six screws). I still cringe when she makes sharp cuts to […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4670: Now that Nellie’s bionic left-rear leg is totally healed, we are back to all our old pre-surgery routines. One of those routines is a vigorous game of keep-away each morning, where Nellie will grab a stick and run at me full speed, only to dodge my grasp for the […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4663: “Come on Dad! My bionic leg feels great. Let’s play!” *For those that don’t know about Nellie’s bionic leg: She had TPLO surgery to remove the cranial cruciate ligament in her left-rear leg, refit the bone in her knee, and hold everything together with a metal plate and six […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4653: Nellie is back! As many of you know, Nellie had TPLO surgery on her left rear leg on November 1.

Marty’s photo of the day #4610: Seven-and-a-half weeks have passed since Nellie got her new bionic left-rear leg (TPLO surgery to remove a ligament, reshape/refit the bone, and install a metal plate with 6 screws). Nellie’s recovery is coming along on schedule. She doesn’t limp anymore when outside, but still limps sometimes inside—especially after a […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4605: Six-and-a-half weeks have passed since Nellie got her new bionic left-rear leg (CCL removed, knee refitted, and a metal plate with six screws installed). Deb and I have one more week of sleeping with her on the pullout couch mattress placed on the great room floor before moving up […]
Marty’s photo of the day #2145: Oh, nooooooooooo! Martyman and I were setting up a shot this morning (it was going to be really funny), when our hero lost his grip and fell from the back of a chair and broke off both of his legs. But don’t worry fans. We can rebuild him. We […]
