Bailey gets her stitches out on Saturday, I can't wait! And her fur is growing back...she is doing great...she does get a little clumsy sometimes, but heck she was clumsy before all this..it looks like the worst is behind us! I sure hope so 🙂
Hi Bailey's mom,
Awesome the stitches are coming out, hope Bailey continues to do well! My Chloe has been a tripawd for almost 1.5 years now and she's still clumsy... especially when she goes into a "one way" area and then has to figure out how to back up since she can't turn around. I swear I have thought about mounting tail lights with a beeping mechanism for when she backs up...
-Chloe's mom
Chloe became a rear amp tripawd on 7-29-10. Another tumor was removed on front leg 2-20-14. Found 3rd tumor on neck 2-2015, but she's still kicking cancer's butt at age 14. Chloe's blog
Glad to hear Bailey is doing so well.
And stitch removal day- cause for celebration and TREATS!!
Karen and the pugapalooza
Yay for Bailey! I am in the same boat with my Rajah. He just got all his staples takes out today....yayyyy!
I can't wait till all his fur grows back, we won't even be able to tell that we have tripawds 🙂
Stitches out is a good day!
Hooray and extra treats to celebrate!
Jackie, Abby's mom
Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!
YIPPPY SKIPPPY!! YAY for Bailey!!!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
