Hello Everyone

 Here is an update on Barkely.  I decided against the prostheic for Barkely.  thanks Jerry for your comments I thought about what you said and I think you are correct at this point in Barkleys life it might be just too much.

 I did get him the support harness.  Here are the photos.

  I like this set up becuase he has full support under his belly. He got kind of cranky about going for walks. I think becuase he was getting pulled under his tummy and it hurt him.

I took him out this AM and it really was fun. We are practicing for a walk for Cancer this weekend to raise money for a place for the familys of Cancer victims to stay while their loved ones are in treatment.

Oh wow, Barkley looks fantastic! Thanks for the update and posting the photos, they really are beautiful.

So glad the harness is working out, they are wonderful aren't they? I like the color on him too. 

How is he doing otherwise? Eating OK and all that?

Oh, Robin, what wonderful pictures and your story is so inspiring!  Barkley looks like he's loving life to me, too, and I know the decision to operate was very hard on you, but you did give Barkley life and it's a life without pain.

Bless your heart and I want to check out your website later on.  Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful story with us.

Love, Blazer, Kimber & Vicki
