Hello everyone,

Sorry we have been out of touch the past few days. We just wanted to update everyone on Riley. He had his surgery today and came through with flying colors and is doing outstanding with post op recovery. He will remain with the surgeon for an over night observasation and will be coming home tomorrow.

Thank you all for the support and valuable information you provided to us.

Will keep you posted on his adventure.

Thank you all!

Sincerely,

John, Tina, Chris and Jensen

Hi Riley's family,

Glad to hear he is doing well! My dog Chloe had to stay a whole 2 nights so its great you only have to wait for 1! Today Chloe got her staples out and the vet said she was doing great since her amputation was a mere 2 weeks ago. I am sure Riley will surprise you at how well he can cope with 3 legs, Chloe sure has! Remember lots of love and positive energy!!

Chloe was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma and had her amputation 7-29-10. Chloe's blog Inspawration comes standard

Well done, Riley! Catie stayed two nights in the hospital; it was hard to have her away but I knew she was being very well cared for and the extra night gave me a chance to get myself together before the big homecoming.

Glad everything went well. I have to say it's a little weird for me typing that name; it's the name of Catie's younger but bigger bro! I'm sure you'll catch your breath with amazement when you see him tomorrow!

Great news! Welcome home Riley! Here's wishing you a very speedy and smooth recovery! laugh

Kami (Mackenzie's Mom)

My sweet golden Mackenzie. She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2 although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009. She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes. I love you Mackenzie!
