Wow is all I can say. I have been using a cut open, reuseable shopping bag to help him down the stairs outside and while using the bathroom. This morning I try to do the same but as soon as I opened the back door, he took off and I couldn't keep up. So he tackled the stairs and using the bathroom all by himself. He slightly lost his balance but didn't even come close to falling. So proud at how quickly he is catching on. You can teach an old dog new tricks, or at least he is teaching himself.
Xrays taken Jan 31, 2014, Osteosarcoma biopsy results Feb 10, 2014, Amputation Feb 17, 2014, Happy and healthy until June 2015 when a hip tumor started to form, passed away Aug 22, 2015. 18 months past amputation is pretty remarkable for this miracle dog!
Awww, we're so glad that he's got his spunk back!
Yep, the do figure things out! One thing that many dogs don't is how to regulate their activity levels, so that's up to the humans.
What a great way to start the day!
