I haven't met him yet, but I'm fostering for a pit bull rescue so he's at the very least a pit bull cross. His personality sounds very much like the dog I used to have (a big goofball who loves everyone and everything he meets)

I'm not really sure what his prognosis is. He got his one hip done, and in a couple of years he'll likely need to get his other hip done. I'd imagine he'll be on glucosamine and chondritin and anything else (hyaluronic acid, maybe?) to help his other joints.

thanks for the info on the goats, GLC!
