What a beauty! And I know what it is like to have a tripawd full of energy ;). Good luck with her!
Welcome to the family Godzilla and pack!!! I just LOVE her name and it sounds like it suits her well with being on a mission to live life to the fullest no matter what! I'm glad her recovery is going well and you've not experienced to many bumps in the road.
Keep going strong Godzilla...you're amazing!

May you finally be healthy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again my sweet boy!
GODZILLA!!! YOU ARE ADORABLE!! Your mug shot..OMD...sooooo cute! You know how to give the camera "the look"! Perfect!
And yes Godzilla, please take it easier for about two weeks, okay? I know you still have some good hospital drugs in ya', but as Karen mentioned, you should just be doing very brief potty breaks and then resting, okay? I can tell it'll be hard for your humans to make you rest though. But you have to trust they know best, okay? You don't want to develop a seroma from too much activity or develop sore and strained muscles from doing too much too soon.
I do have to say though...WHAT A GREAT VIDEO! This really shows people just starting this journey how quickly dogs adapt to three legs! Good job Godzilla! You are a special pup!
Looking forward to more great updates AND adorable pictures and videos!
Hugs to all!

Well here is Godzilla. Her leg is looking great, zero infections, she is doing most of what she was doing before. Stiches come out next Tuesday. She even has her own boxers now. She wears them backwards with her tail coming out of the front slit. She can't lick the wound with these on. She would remove her collar of shame that was attached to her main collar but the boxers do wonders. Godzilla is sleeping on a mattress that my wife got online. It is crib sized and memory foam. Godzilla loves it. Of course so do the other dogs. I'll have my wife post a link to the site she bought it from. Very good quality.
Lookin' good Zilla!

Sorry it's been awhile. 2 Month update. Godzilla is doing awesome. She is everywhere, almost like she still has all 4 legs. The one that is kind of funny is the looks she gives us when she has a scratch on her left side and there is no leg to scratch with. That look of PLEASE Scratch Me!!!
GODZILLA!!! OMD!! You are looking spectacular!!! ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR!!! You look just as fit and as happy as can be! HAPPY TWO MONTH AMPUVERSARY!!!
And I just now saw the pics of you in your boxer shorts! You really wear them well!!
So glad to get this wonderful update on you. Keep em coming, okay?? And keep those adorable pictures coming!!
Hugs to all!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
OH Zilla you are sooooo smooshable! Adorable!
I saw the pics but can't see the videos though. Wanna try again? We'd love to see 'em.
