She's gorgeous! And, like we said, she's going to be a gorgeous Tripawd Warrior Princess. She'll be running, with ears flying back in no time. 

Please keep us posted. Fingers and paws crossed for a successful surgery.

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Thanks! Really glad we found this forum, it certainly has helped to have the support and reassurance smiley

I'm taking Moby in at 9 am on Friday, and hopefully will be able to bring her home in the evening.

We've borrowed a large cage/crate to use (though she won't entertain going anywhere near it at present!) as I'm worried about her trying to get up the sofa or stairs at night. I think I'll sleep in the lounge with her the first few nights.

 

Stu has been painting the stairs ready for carpet to be fitted tomorrow big-grin At least that will help to make the stairs more manageable for her when she's ready to attempt them again.

Moby is in good spirits, her leg doesn't seem to bother her at all, so I'm sure she won't thank us for what we're doing way-confused I hope she'll understand at some level.

Prepping things before hand is a great idea!!!  I found yoga mats on the floor the best thing for Lupe walking around.

Keep us posted on how sweet Moby does!!!
