Hey there - sooooo hoppy to hear that Cotton is doing better. I was amazed the first time I saw Zeus chew his bone or a stick with one front leg...that was one of my concerns with amputation - not being able to chew sticks - his favorite pastime - these guys are amazing aren't they?
Cotton will get his confidence back - it takes a little time, but it will come. Stay a strong pack leader and when he takes a spill or a chin dive as they do from time to time, just act like no big deal and go on with what you guys were doing. It we make a big deal of it, so will they.
Hope each day gets stronger and stronger and stronger. Enjoy all these precious moments!
Licks and wags,
zeus and mom
