God’s piling it on me and my dog.

Reality TV couldn’t have hoped for more irony than this…

This morning, on the way back from the vet, moments after he and I discussed allowing Puck to play ball again despite my wariness (terror, actually), I stopped at a park to give him a few tosses. On the FIRST gentle, short toss my beautiful, happy, energetic dog, Puck, ruptured his other anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

His second ACL surgery in the last 4.5 months is scheduled for tomorrow.

My sponsor says God wouldn’t give me more than I can handle. C’mon, God, isn’t this piling-it-on a bit?

Is it God piling it on? Or is this simply the way of the world? I am SOOOO sorry about this Puck. He sounds very loved though. Will the vet cut you a deal since he suggested it was ok for Puck to run?
