Happy 4th & the 3-legged race by Harlan!

Happy Fourth of July everybody!!! I sure hope I don't have to wear another dumb shirt on the 5th of July...

These were the only flags we found in our neighborhood—at a French restaurant owned by a South African, a Chilean, and an Englishman! God Bless America!!!

On behalf of Harlan and his people, many thanks for your good wishes. He had his surgery on Thursday and is now recovering up in the Adogrondacks. The doctor tried to perform the surgery with a scope, but the chip was too big, so he had to make a small incision. 

Harlan's Mom was surprised to see how big the chip actually was —almost the size of a dime!

Here he is keeping it elevated after he came home from the dog hospital. 

And when you've had a bone chip removed, nothing helps with your recovery quite like a nice juicy marrow bone (that can double as a chin rest when you're through.)

His Dad calls this little film "Three Wheelin'." Harlan is supposed to take it easy (HA!) and will have to be walked on a leash for the next three weeks. Easy to do in the city, not so much in the Adogrondacks.  Now he's on the mend and I'll look forward to signing his cast (actually, it's a pink bandage!) when he gets back to the city. Keep eating those marrow bones Harlan! (But save one for me!)
