More pictures of Evey...

Well, last Monday, we removed Evey's splint, and to be completely honest, I was very disappointed. The leg was extremely weak and did not bend much at all. I took her to an Orthopedic surgeon who took several X-Rays and determined that 2 different ligaments in the hock were torn. We decided to wait a few days and she how she progressed. Well, she is doing much better. The leg has strengthened considerably and bends much better now. For the moment, we have decided not to do surgery. Here are a few pictures. The damaged leg is the right rear. It's still a little weaker than the other leg, but I am hopeful that it will strengthen with time and not need surgery.
I think she has a more classically shaped face than Mlenje. Her muzzle is shorter and not nearly as dark. They really do get along well. Mlenje is still a bit of a puppy, so he likes to run and jump around her but generally tires before she does. Evey is much more outgoing than he was at the same age. She frequently climbs over the back seat to join me in the front seat (something Mlenje never did).
