Beautiful Nova mastering the stairs! This us at about 6 1/2 weeks post amp. I love how she is so careful and actually rather gentle with each step down. A very smart girl
And then politely takes her trest as a reward for a job well done! She really has hsd a remarkable recovery.

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!
She is such a cutie, workin' hard for those treats. I'm glad those stairs and the landing are carpeted, that's super important so she doesn't slip. 
Okay....another CUTENESS ALERT from the adorable Nova.
She is one Happy girl loving her life If these photos dont put a smile on your face, nothing will.

Here's our tripawd bathing beauty Nova soaking up the sun. Ahe looks so relaxed and content. Had to do a close up too because she has such beautiful golden eyes. And I know you want to smooch the mug!

WOW! That's pretty cool 
And you're right, we can never get enough of Nova the charming princess! Glad she's getting around so well and enjoying being out in the world.
I didn't even know Schwinn made a bike trailer for doggos. That's pawesome!
Just wanna make a tiny correction today she goes for her last chemo (5/10/23) I thought it was the last time. She did her bloodwork on Monday now does chemo today hopefully so far so good.
I was over there yesterday and I playing with her. Provided the chemo happens today then we wait it out 21 days and then I think shes officially cancer free not sure how it works with dogs and as for the training hahaha yea she's got my mom leash whipped hahaha
Oh well what a super duper milestone she's about to achieve! We are sending lot of love & pawsitivity for good day at the clinic where I'm sure she's an expert at charming people and getting lots of treats 
Thanks for the update.
Alrighty, another reason we get to celebrate Nova.
Yes, I have no doubt Nova has every hooman within her realm of influence trained perfectly. Ot's impossible not t0 spoil a tripawd....especially one as cute as Nova!
We'll look forward to more pictures too.
Hugs
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

NOVA UPDATE: As you all know Nova had her last chemo treatment last week. And after she finished her chemo she was celebrated at the vets with a Doggie goodie bag filled with treats and her certificate of completion of chemo and she had to ring a bell before they left and so her daddy had to rang the bell for her and all the staff cheered her on and came out to congratulate her. Now middle the following week and she's lounging around letting her last chemo take it's course. Still her bossy, stubborn demanding self and has a great appetite and drinks like normal etc she's pretty much herself. Mom's noticing she's doing things better and easier without the bad leg. Her next course of action is every 3 months for CT scans for a year then 6 months for a year then she's done.
Fantastic! She's really doing so well and it's such a joy to know that Nova and your family is back to enjoying quality time together. Paws crossed for continued health and happiness!
P.S. Be sure to post new updates in "Share Your Story" now that Nova has graduated!
