Sir Simon the Sad's Trick Knee - Medial Patellar Luxation

We've been noticing Simon limping lately, so we took him to the vet. After x-rays - he's got that small dog (30 pounds is small?) condition called trick knee.

Basically, his right knee cap dislocates to the inside of his knee. He does not seem to be in pain, but he does limp stiff-legged until it re-locates to its proper position.

He'll need surgery to correct the condition which could be congenital or due to trauma.

Just another day in the life of Simon the Sad!

Happy Birthday Simmie-Sim

Simon is a year old today, June 4, 2010.

When we picked him up in PA in August of last year, he was a scared little pup.

A year later, he's still scared of lots of things, but remains the same lovable, laid-back, would not hurt a fly (rabbits maybe) pup.

Here's to our handsome year-old Cockapoo - Simon. He's enjoying his birthday bone in this picture.
