After Rosie's episode with her torn ACL and surviving through the TPLO surgery (and mostly the tough recovery following it), she was diagnosed yesterday with lateral luxation of the patella, which it appears will require another surgery on the same TPLO leg.

Does anyone have any experience with this? And what procedure was used to fix it?

It looks like Jenny's going to need an upgrade from her chair to a loveseat! 

Newfies don't require a lot of space, since they're pretty mellow dogs. Space for the doggie basics mentioned above would be adequate. Walking up and down lots of apartment steps would not be advisable for puppies, while their joints and bones are still growing. And you'd have to think about how you plan on taking her outside for potty breaks (particularly when it's still a puppy when you have to take them outside more often). I think Rosie would have done perfectly fine if she lived with us in our old apartment. We had more than enough space to accommodate a sleepy, lazy Newf.

I would also check with the apartment manager to see if they have size restrictions. Most apartment places do.

What a crew! It must be an adventure/debacle every time you take them all somewhere.

What great timing to be on two consecutive 16-hour shifts. Sounds like a bad day at your household, to put it lightly.

That edited photo is hilarious! Miles sure knows how to relax!

Rosie likes to jump in the tub too... just to see if there's yummy soap available for the eating.

That is the most welcoming-looking bed ever, with not one, not two, but three furballs! What great company to sleep with!
