Yea Fumble!!  So glad to hear you are on your way back!!  That watermelon is weird stuff, huh?  (Cirra's take on it)
Keep up this pace and you'll be back to the beach in no time.  Hope the resting has been good for your other knee too!  Robyn, Denise & Cirra

Fumble looks so handsome.

And it looks like he is really enjoying his watermelon - I never even thought to give a dog watermelon

I'm new to the board and I've missed what is wrong with Fumble, could someone fill me ion. And he looks like he is enjoying that watermelon. I think I'll start giving it to my guys on those hot days.

He had TPLO surgery on his left leg, and he needs to have it again on his right leg in a few months (tore both Acl's). 
The watermelons are great!  i'm going to try a larger piece next time, see if it weirds him out! hehe! i lvoe teasing him!
