Hello Everybody! Sry i've had alot going on the past few weeks! How is everybody?!?! how are all the pups???
Alpha is doing wonderful 
Today we went on our first run with only 5 Legs!
Here are a few videos of Alpha 
.. We ran 1.16 miles! Mamas a lil outa shape so ignore my panting lol!
I REALLY miss playing slobber-ball (aka fetch) with my TJ.... but a front amp really seems to lose a lot more than a rear amp.
Take care of that hound!

He's saying "come on mom, pick up the pace!"
Another example of not really being able to tell he is a tripawd- he is really smooth when he runs. The shadow is cool- you can see he has one back leg.
