Sydney recovering from Surgery

Sydney seems to be making a super recovery from ACL surgery this past week.
She stepped in a hole, at the beach over last weekend, and tore her ACL.  So we took her to a Vet Hospital, here on Marathon Key.
We were relieved to hear that they could repair the damage... to near 100% of the original strength... (perhaps stronger with this micro-fiber string)...

She's already putting weight on the right rear leg...  The Vet. said the normal is "toe touching" after the first week; a little weight the second week; and full weight by the third week...
So... this is good progress...   Especially because of the movement of the boat, and all the "ups, and downs" on the boat (just to get around normally).

The thing she misses most is the swimming... (NO swimming until the staples come out the third week of FEB). 

Well... that's the story on Sydney...
