INJURY UPDATE---by Elmo

"Here I am in my 'fort' resting my knee."

Hello there, Elmo here. I thought I should let people know that I'm doing okay with my knee injury. Mom is helping me as much as she can and I know being confined when she isn't home is the best thing for me.

I do sometimes forget that I can't leap up on furniture now and I try and then just sink to the floor. It's very difficult to be subdued when that mailman comes to our house every day. I always want to run to the window and say "hello" as he passes by.

This "fort" (as mom calls it) is pretty comfortable really and I don't mind going in here most of the time. I think resting my knee has helped and I am able to put some weight on it. I even got to go for a short walkie last week and that was fun. Today looks like rain so I don't think we'll be going anywhere to walk.

We went to aunty's house since I hurt my knee and I think I did too much running around her nice yard because I was really tired after. I usually sleep in the car coming home from there and I was pretty tired after we got home.

Everyone has been so kind in wishing me well and I want to say "thank you". Being confined gives me time to think about different recipes and what mom and I are going to make next.

There are all kinds of recipes we want to try!
