12/17/14 – Joy Update: Here is Joy recovering at home after her TPLO and luxating patella surgery on her back leg today. She is all snuggled in with her stuffed animal and blankie. Joy thanks all of her friends for their prayers and positive energy. Gina

p.s. – I forgot to mention that Joy’s foster parents begged us to adopt her and, of course, we said “YES”. Not only is the mom a veterinarian but both mom and dad have taken such good care of her, taking her for physical therapy to Dr Tari Kern, and conscientiously doing whatever else she needed. Of course, 4 Paws 1 Heart will continue to pay for her physical therapy and pain management treatment and the surgery for her other back leg as we have committed. We thank Dr. Kern of Pawsitive Steps Rehabilitation & Therapy for Pets for all of her help and generosity in treating Joy on her road to recovery, and, of course, her new mom and dad. ~ diana
