Sarah it looks like your husband is set up for a wonderful time in a beautiful landscape. Cycling is incredibly popular in the area I live, one of Lance Armstrongs team mates owns a hotel literally down the street from me and is a total destination spot for cyclists, they even host races certain times of the year.

Yesterday started off as a pretty great day. It was beautiful and sunny, I got off work early and loaded up the dogs to head to the preserve. All of us had a really good time, the geese even came over to hang out with us again. On the way back Brinks cut his paw on something and he has been limping since, it's not major but I still hate seeing him hurting. He hasn't even asked me to play with him today. But that's not even the worst part of the day, later that night I went into the bathroom and fell. Hard. The same knee I had surgery on nearly two years ago for a torn meniscus is now sporting a chipped femur. And possibly (probably) more screwed up cartilage as the ER only performed an X-ray and not an MRI. I have a giant leg cast on, an unwelcome respite from work, and will know more once I see an orthopedic doctor. Uhg!! The dogs have been incredibly thoughtful towards me, bless their hearts. They both cuddled up comforting me as I tried to cry myself to sleep last night :(.

From the fun part of the day:

Omg!!! Get yourself better please! Knee injuries are no joke, huh?

Took this pooch out to our favorite brewery. Brought the "DO NOT PET" vest but it was all adults and this pooch got so much Lovings. She really does make me SO proud.

This came up in the photo rotation from when Albert was just over 6 months old. He definitely grew into his ears...

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about this, especially after what was, otherwise, a pretty great day with the pups. They do look worried about you which is sweet (and correct!), but you're stronger than this. Just remember that you made a major move away from home at an age where many of us said we would not have been brave enough :) You'll be back up and running before you know it. Take it one day at a time :thumbsup2:

Those trails are crazy! Is he biking down those? Tara definitely looks sad. Amazing how they know.

That particular route is a 10Km descent with 26 hairpin bends. You then have to climb up the mountain (approx 7% gradient, all the way) - one way down, one way up.

Tara’s face at the top of the stairs. Oh my gosh! It was like she was saying “Seriously? You’re going to leave me behind?”

That's hardcore. Looks like a lot of breaking.

She so obviously loves him, and yet she doesn't know that he will still come back home. But when he does, that look will be priceless!
 
I'm mostly worried about missing work and getting behind, but also because I'm in my 20s and already have issues like this. When I tore the meniscus I went through so much therapy and doctors visits, couldnt work then either, and going from being fully mobile to not is depressing. You definitely take for granted being 100 and doing normal things until you're not. Even after I had surgery it never fully recovered and would still ache and bother me, so now I imagine it will be even worse. But enough "woe is me", I am thankful it isn't worse and I know everything will turn out ok in the end. It is what it is and I just have to deal with it as best as I can!

Have you ever tried yoga? My hb used to get back muscle strain requiring chiro and massage work but he started doing a bit of yoga in the morning and at night and he has way fewer issues with his back now. He says it makes him feel more limber too. I know young people tend to see it as an old people activity haha, but might be worth checking out.
 
Dingos last Saturday night as an only doggo. Baby brother comes home next Saturday! IMG_20180421_214637.webp

Dassah puppy is so dang cute! For one reason or another (NOT the ear taping process - I did a taping myself and made triple sure it wasn't too tight) she lost an ear tip :( she has the most beautiful face and temperament that no one will notice but her hoomans are pretty upset.
