GCD, very happy to hear the pup is going to make it. Amazing how resilient they are too.

 

I am sure she will adapt well to the amputation and be as spunky as ever.

Glen, I'm so happy to hear your pup will be coming home. If amputation is the best way to go, then your pup will adapt. I have seen much older dogs bounce back and be very active. Make no mistake, she'll still do all the crazy puppy stuff and out run ya :) , and of course you and your wife will love and spoil her even more :)

Thats good news ... one day at a time my friend ! One of my favourite dogs is a three legged doberman who stands guard at a friends house in barbados ... named aptly "tripod" :)

Wow...we know what you mean....we recently went through some scary moments with our little guy. Glad to hear he's gonna make it, even though he has a way to go before full recovery.

 

Best of luck!

Hope the leg does get better, but if not here is a short story on another dog that I know. The vet I take Amy to 12 years ago took in a lab that was hit by a car. In the end the dogs rear legs were paralized. She made one of those mobility walkers for the rear quarters and kept the dog as a vet office mascot. Still there today at 12 and enjoying it's life.

Good to hear the little guy is gonna make it Glen, and I've been waiting for this report since your original post.

 

Hopefully the leg will be OK, but if not, like others say, he should be able to adapt and still enjoy himself. Be sure to keep us informed as to how he's making out.

 

Tell him Marvin sends his best wished too ;)

GCD, I must have missed that original post too. I hope your pup will be alright. You sure do get attached to them

Sorry for not replying earlier Glen but, sometimes I get too chocked up for words...(getting mellow in my old age...you think?) :)

 

I hope your pup gets better and has a full recovery :santa:

Missed the original post also. So sorry to hear about the puppy and the jerk that didn't have the decency to even stop. Hope everything works out for the best Glen and you would be surprised how quickly puppies can adapt to new challanges. A lot of other people would have given up on the little fella(the vet bills aint cheap) so good on you and wife for rehabbing the pup. All the best!

 

Cheers,

A few years ago I used to see a little dog with no hind legs. His owner had a little wagon that the pup put his bum in and used his front legs to take him where ever he wanted without a care in the world.

Errrrr,

 

 

 

 

 

So, this heavily armed limping dog walks into a bar. He surveys the patrons, then shouts, "Alright. Which one of you idiots is the one that ran over my Paw".
