My Dog Maka

Well my sister, my dad, and my dog, Maka go camping every once in a while. Well they went camping on Tuesday night and they normally go to the Hilo dock. Well on the way down to the dock and Maka jumped out of the truck while they were passing a fence with three dogs running along the fence. When she fell/jumped out she landed hard and rolled sort-of over and she could not get up. She ended up breaking her femur. She broke her left back leg. She is a big time runner but she can't run for six weeks!! The vet said it will take about five days for her to figure out that she can use the leg but it has been at least two days and she is trying to get up the stairs and chase the cats and even run around. She had her surgury on Wednesday and she came home on Thursday. Maka is a strong girl but it will be a long six weeks. Right now she is laying on her bed snoring (she is good at snoring). All she needs is some rest and sleep. When she has to go the bathroom or is thirsty she will wine like a little girl.
