Working Dreams Shattered

We received devastating news about Kali a couple weeks ago that change the plans for our girl. Kal was having follow up xrays a couple weeks ago and we got horrible news.

Kal is a structural disaster. She has luxating patellas in both knees and has hip dysplasia in one hip. Because of her hip, she is already losing muscle mass and is requiring surgical correction.

Needless to say, Kal's working career has been ended before it really started. Due to her health issues she is not going to be able to compete in anything high impact, weight pull and agility are definitely out. We are looking into doing more obedience type competitions and will still give Dock Dogs a try but everything else is out to preserve her joints.

Game men always said, they never needed to health test their stock because as long as it could walk in and out of the ring it was healthy. Well, I think Kal proves that yet again, they are full of shit.
