Oh Brenda, what a day!
I'm sorry about poor Darby's knees. Does he need an operation right away? The day will come when Clio will need to have at least one knee done, I should be saving for it now.
My neighbors seem to have visitors driving a refrigerated truck. Which has been running outside my house for the past hour.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm so sorry about Darby's knees and the rest of your day, Brenda.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, Brenda. Poor you! And poor Darby. Ugh.

Probably best to do it now. Not like the problem's going to get better, and at least now I have some time off coming up over the holidays. Luxating patella seems to be the issue.
They're going to sedate her in the morning so the surgeon can get a better feel for what's going on. She freaks out so bad in that kind of environment that as soon as he touches her she flinches and tenses up all over. And given what he's trying to figure out is how loose her patella is in the socket, that's less than helpful.
What is helpful is this mug of hot cider with a more than healthy swig of Sailor Jerry's.

So sorry, Brenda. The good thing is that it should lead to a better quality of life for her.
Back when my roommate had a fat, elderly cat, I got a kitten called Toshiro, and from then on the older cat was on what we called The Toshiro Diet, which is where she got chased around the house and half of her food was eaten. She didn't find it very amusing, but the rest of us laughed.

That's what Clio has. It isn't slowing her down yet, but we've been watching her knees since she was about 2.
