Rufus, Rufus, Rufus

Well, not much has been going on with our family. Just the usual and I guess for us the usual includes surgery on Rufus AGAIN!! He tore the ACL in his other back leg about 3 weeks ago. We had him operated on in Blackfoot on Thursday. His recovery is 12 weeks. It's going to be a long twelve weeks on a leash and in his kennel. The vet in Blackfoot thought he should be going to Sun Valley to be operated on but the last time we were there it was over $2,000. We chose the $800 surgery this time since it wasn't quite as bad as before and hopefully it works out. I guess it wasn't quite $800. Casey talked them down to $600 which helped a lot since we also paid $1,000 to get our car fixed that same day. Other than spending money right and left we are doing good. Casey's been snowmobiling a few times this winter and really loves it. The girls and I just enjoy being together on the weekends and week nights. Well, Paetyn has wondered upstairs and not sure what she's into because it's super quiet up there so I better be on my way.
