Betsy during her outing in the park

Betsy looks over at her and her brother's kennel, probably wondering why he's over there instead of here.

Guy takes off Betsy's leash to see if she'll go potty, but she just stands looking at her neighbors. Pat had the doctor put tape on the piece of the long piece of kirschner wire sticking out of her leg.

Close up of the kirschner in Betsy's leg. A .kirschner is "a steel wire for skeletal transfixing of fractured bones and for obtaining skeletal traction in fractures. It is inserted through the soft parts of the bone and is held tight in a clamp." (Definition from WebMD.com.)

Guy encourages Betsy to go potty, which she finally does do.

Poor Betsy will be have to spend the next eight to 10 weeks going thru this routine.
