I have an adopted seven year old german shepard we all love her shes the family pett. But sadly she was running up the stairs outside by the deck and caught her foot somehow and somehow she ended up with a torn ligiment in her back leg. She now needs sergury which is a butload of green. And right as that happend our air broke down (it was getting old) and our water or something was having problems (our house is 13 years old) and to top it off were supposed to be saving to go see my fam in italy next year (i live in the us) and the euro sucks and airfare is way too much. Any way Hannah my dog needes sergury and it will take here a long time to recover and now that shes getting old who knows what can happen. I hope she will turn out fine we all love her my dad and mom have allways had dogs or cats. wish er luck

well, good luck.
i feel for you and your dog.
I adore my dog and if anything happens to her i feel so bad.
too bad you can only spend your money once...
Imo running up stairs is a bad thing for Shepard dogs, for they are susceptible to hip troubles like arthritis, but getting stuck is even worst.

Where in Italy does your family live?
My wife is half Italian, and her family is from Napoli.

My fam is from the soccer ball part of ittaly the island but ya we just found out my dog is getting surgury sometime nxt week and the doc said she allready has artheritus shes gettn t be a old girl now.
