They came and took down our old deck.  It is strange to not have anything out the back door.  It is going to be hard on Jack.  He loves to lay on the deck, and it is so convenient to let him out to use the bathroom.  Hopefully the project will move forward quickly and smoothly so we have a new deck on the back of our house soon. 

Some updated pictures of Lucy.  She was three weeks post-op.  This is a fun milestone for her because she can now return to all normal activity.  It is hard for her to sit around and not participate in things she enjoys.  We are so pleased with the results.  I hope they are long lasting for her.
