She looks quite pleased with herself!  And the red is very flattering.

Can she drink out of the cup?

Super cute! Looks like she is very proud of her accomplishment – as she should be!

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.

as you may be able to see dizzy is normally a very happy kind of dog who loves to be off her lead having a run about. The last week she seems to be very quiet and i am worried that something is not quite right so we have decided to give her a couple of days rest to see if she perks up as it may just be that she has been doing too much. She had blood tests to check her levels have gone back to normal which they have, and until the last week she seemed to be back to herself personality wise.

A very kind lady at the dog show we went to it going to make her some pjs because she does feel the cold and after the winter we had last year we are preparing for it to be very cold and snowy. I am very happy for every day we have together and if we had to make the ampuatation decision again we would so make the same decision.
