I'm SO happy to hear the harness seems to be working...even if it's still on its debut.  Your pup's got quite a sidekick.  Lucky pack.  Happy, hoppy thoughts your way!

~ Katy & Jackson

ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12.  Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ!  No side effects.  We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments.  He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors!  Our love. Our funny little guy!

Oooh thanks for letting us know about the Help Em Up. I would love to publish your feedback in our Gear blog , may I use your comments in a post? If yes, and you feel like sending a photo, we would love to include that too. Let me know!

Glad to hear he's getting around better. I TOTALLY agree with your vet (what a comfort to have a vet who share the same breed!).

Yeah, I know it's hard to make the adjustment to letting go of past activities. But try to remember, it's not about what you lose when you ditch that bum leg, but about all of the other special times you gain when you find new things to do together. I know you and Gus will enjoy lots of them!

Hi Jerry,

Sure, feel free to share my thoughts on the harness.  I'll try to get an "action" photo if I can get him to cooperate!
