Excellent news. Are we allowed to know the diagnosis / prognosis was on his knees - afterall it seems two vets - one vet and one referral vet (Fitzpatrick Referrals apparently) have looked at this and so they must know surely ? I drove all the way to Portsmouth, phoned SLR about his limp before he was discharged from the pound, photographed him and then drove him back and looked after him here for the afternoon before Graham picked him up to onwardly transport him into foster, and it would be nice to know he is OK. A few other people who have posted on here have expressed concern / curiosity as well. Here he is in the pound on 20 March full of beans: - he ran around and played for about 10 minutes.... ....but then limped on one of hind and had to lie down: The lady at the pound (and dog warden who was present) had already informed SLR it was thought to be cruciate apparently and only in one leg.

Sorry I didn’t mean to be deliberately evasive David. Lots going on here and Graham did all the vets visits so he knows better than I but it seems that he has at some point fractures both back knees and they have knitted back together. They are ‘stable’ but still need rest. So lead walks are ok but he needs to not go mad for a while - that’s easier said than done. He will need follow up X-rays. The lady who is adopting him is a vet and she has looked at his X-rays and Fitzpatricks notes. They will Operate if they need to but at the moment it’s best to leave them And see how hey heal.

Hope that makes sense typing as a 2 year old shouts at me from the bath.

Charlie will be going back to Tina this morning. The Vet had never had a dog before and with two small children didn't think she could commit the time to Charlie that he needed. He does have another applicant eagerly waiting to see what happened overnight and we have contacted her. A Lurcher owner. x

He’s back and he’s happy. He’s got a shed load of new stuff. Graham is around all day to settle him not that he seems to need it.
I really cannot stress how much of a lovely, gentle character this boy is but because of those legs he has a lot of pent up energy and despite our best efforts at mental games etc he just wants to run.

What a shame. But it is essential to get it right for Charlie. I'm glad he has more interest.

Cautiously Charlie/Lemon is going to visit a potential home Tonight with Graham. Fingers crossed but we want a perfect fit.
Feeling so guilty about last time. This has to be right

Don't feel guilty Tina. People think that they are experienced, that they will be fine but sometimes they just don't realise that having a dog is a big committment, especially a youngster. He will mature into such a lovely boy with the right home and guidance. xx
