just an update on how im doing
well i am about to get the rest of my stitches out. the vet never set a date for us to come back so my momma carefully pulled most of them out. it didnt hurt. it actually feels better now. the stitches were starting to settle in my skin. i can jump on my momma’s bed now, but i kinda like being pampered and spoiled so i pretend to not be able to jump on the bed so they will pick me up. hehe. i have learned a new command. scratchy scratchy. actually, if momma says that and my left side itches then i will let her scratch for me. she calls it scratchy scratchy. i keep forgetting about my leg being gone and i try to scratch my left side by myself. it doesnt really work out. im so glad momma will scratch for me. im not so afraid of people anymore. i dont bark or try to attack them. i really love my momma. i want to cuddle with her but she wont quit moving around and it still scares me so i lay my head on her foot. i get to play with my best friend zoey now. i wasnt able to catch up to her before but now im slower. she gets me motivated to run faster. i have learned to roll when i turn left. its better than slowing down. well thats about it. life is a lot easier than i thought it would be. i am doing better than great. momma finally found her camera cord so here soon i will have pics up of me as a tripawd.

Sounds like things are going really well,,(finally). Pepper’s surgery was on 3/14 I believe? I love your posts to see what is coming in 2 weeks with my Trouper who had his surgery on 3/31/11.
Time heals all wounds…..we can’t only wait for better days ahead for us all. This is such an education learning about recovery. Everyone (mostly) has their pets spayed or neutered, but this tripawd procedure is such a visible surgery it’s front and center all the time.
I think what strikes me is how resilient these guys are. More education on, I think its called, “sucking it up”. lol…..
Hug Pepper for me!!!

scratchy, scratchy, I like that. Maddie is a left rear leg amp too.
WHen she ‘peels out’ after a poop, that little stump just gors to town just like it’s peeling out too. 🙂
So glad Pepper is doing well.
