Sometimes life deals us a mixed bag of opportunities
and challenges. I have had a few "sporting injuries" in
my time. I now have two artificial knees. Both my cruciat ligaments
had to be replaced because I was just too fast, and changed direction
too quickly, for my own good.

My left back leg went early in 2001. I wasn't too happy
because it meant that I had to recuperate for a couple of
months before I could get a little baby brother.
 |
|
I might have been incapacitated but it didn't mean I had
lost my touch getting what I wanted. Still as fetching as
ever!

|
Even as a convalescent I still had to do my job - supervising
in the garden. I tried to keep my bandage clean - but it was
hard!
 |
|
My last operation was in April 2003. This time I had to
have my right knee done. This is NOT my best side - thank
you. I would appreciate a bit of privacy! When you are having
a "bad-hair day" you don't need a camera chasing
you around.

I said NO! I don't want the world to see me when I am this
vulnerable. You can't bribe me with the gi-normous bone either!
Get that camera out of my face!
 |
Sometimes you just have to humour them! I am very sore
but trying to be the best little soldier.

Dad said that I was so brave that I deserved a Purple Heart
- with oak leaf cluster.

Now, who's up to the challenge of the Bionic Bitch!!(Actually
this picture was taken before all the "trouble"
- I'm not allowed to dance any more. If I try, Mum or Dad
yells at me.)

Don't mess with the Bionic Bitch!
