Do you notice that Novak is more in control of his running? Slower and better, he finally got it LOL

And that one is for fun, he's poking me, like to grab my hand, jumping on me, being a fun puppy.
He looks great! So full of joy!
Otis - 106 pound lab/Dane mix, lost his right front leg to osteosarcoma on Febuary 9, 2016. Four rounds of carboplatin completed in April, 2016. Lung mets August 25, 2016. Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.
His gait looks so even. You two have done a great job in his recovery. Most people wouldn't even notice he was a tripawd. Congratulations. Happy dog, happy family.

All your rehab work is definitely paying off, he looks so much better!
The difference is amazing, and it is great to see him so happy too.
Keep up the good work!
Also- you inspired me to try Nose Work with Elly! We just started our second class, Intro to Odor. She loves looking for treats, we just introduced our first odor on Thursday, we will see how she does.

OOOOOMMMMDDDD. YES!!!! YES!!! You can DEFINITELY see the difference! Definitely has more control. His leg isn't giving out as he turns and stops. I agree with Kerren, his gait is very smooth. He seems to be running so effortlessly.
You two are such a special team! It really, really is magical to see the improvements all your Rehab work have produced.
And he's having FUN! Love listening to his bark and seeing how happy he is playing with you.
Thanks so much for sharing these great videos! Novak's progress truly his spectacular!
Extra treats for Novak!
Hugs!

PS. Has Novak pretty much gotten over the esophagus issues?
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Yes, I mean, day to day life is normal, I feed him more puree/liquid diet, but thats it. He can't eat kibble or big chunk, but he can get tiny piece of treat. So its a life problem, but I found the right feeding so its not an issue anymore. He didn't regurgitate for several months now!
