I'm Just a Little Cone-Head


Like all grandma's, I love to get pictures of "the kids" :o) (In my case both 2 and 4 legged :) For my 4 legged kids, I especially love to hear about all the neat things they are doing in their new homes, and how they are moving ahead in life :) Redi, will always have a special place in our heart's because of her rocky start in life. Getting your leg broken at the head of the femur when you are just a little baby is not a great way to start life, however Redi never let that stop her from doing "anything"!

We were extremely fortunate that Jessica and Dave came into Redi's life and have given her a wonderful loving and caring home. We all knew that Redi would eventually need a operation to remove the femoral head on her right hind leg, however "eventually" came sooner than expected. Redi's bone and muscle were atrophying, and so to allow her to lead a normal life, with normal movement, "eventually" became "now"! Redi had her leg operated on last week, and all reports are really good so far! So here's to the little "cone-head" who captured a lot of peoples hearts! Get well soon Redi!

  1. Looks like she's being a trooper through the whole thing! It's probably better for her in the long run to have the surgery now while she's so young. She'll adjust to it much quicker and have a faster recovery. Those youngins' are resilient1
