Thank you for the welcome Fortis's dad.  I will have to try and find your blog.  Yea for Fortis being as amazing as you thought outliving everyones expectations.  What breed is Fortis?  I am curious about the name too.

Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in the right front leg 8/23/10, leg fractured 8/27/10, leg amputated 8/30/10 http://sammyand.....pawds.com/   I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us.  Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

Elizabeth,

Fortis is a Cane Corso. His Italian name is Fortissima and well Fortis just stuck! smiley  I thank you for your post on my blog. I can assure you Fortis is a big love. He loves everybody. Thanks for asking.

Sending positive thoughts your way. I know you have had a tough weekend but hang in there it will get better.

Hi there!  I have to jump in because Cemil is a big dog too.  He weighs 148#.  I was pretty worried in the beginning too, but dogs figure things out much faster than we give them credit for.  A face-plant or two is normal so expect it and be ready to feel really bad, but Sammy will just get up and go on.  And learn a little more about how to move better.  I can't add anything to the advice you've received so just take one more wish for a smooth surgery and recovery.
