<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is Lenny. I'm not a short-legger like my sisters - I look a lot like that Marley character. When I was a pup like you, the vetman told my momma that I had very severe hips. They suggested total hip replacement for both hips since this surgery called an FHO would not work for a dog my size. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway momma takes me to see another doctor. He told momma that a FHO might work on me even though I was a big dog. I had that surgery on my right hip just after my 1st birthday. Within 3 months I jumped through a storm door to protect my little sister Lady. Six months after my surgery I jumped out the window of the buv. It's been almost three years since my FHO surgery. Oh there are days when I ache but I can still jump and run and play. I haven't been on any pain meds for hip pain for a long time.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I guess what I'm trying to tell you Lenny is not to give up on your hips. Keep strong. Take your meds when you need them. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your name is Lenny and you're a little fighter.</DIV></td></tr></table>
