I can not believe it is a month now since Pip our greyhound joined your pack.

She is amazing and already back to her old self.I havent had to help her once she just wont let us, she has learnt the best way to get up and down and has done it all since day one.We are back doing long walks in our local park where she is a minor celebrity.

She flirts with everyone showing off how clever she is.I do shut my eyes and hold my breath when she runs, I guess because you know she cant afford another injury.Donald our other grey has been fantastic throughout, giving her extra space and letting her take over his bed.He will now though wind her up in a game of chase.almost egging her on and he never normally runs anywhere.

Today for the first time she has been playing with her toys , and to me that was the final bit in letting me know that I have my old dog back.big-grin

Great update.  She's doing wonderfully.  The celebrity status is an ongoing thing, get used to it.  They create attention wherever they go, and most of them have the personality to drag the most out of it.winker

Amazing how resilient these guy are, if only we could bounce back like that if we had to go through the same thing!!!! It's such a great feeling to have them be themselves again. Enjoy, Paws up, Spirit Gus and Dan

Sounds like Pip is doing wonderfully. Tripawds do seem to attract a bit of attention to themselves. I have met so many nice folks when out with Fortis at the swimming hole, park, or just sitting outside of a Starbucks. I'm so happy that Pip is doing well. Thanks for the great update.

Happy Ampuversary Pippa!!

Sounds like she is doing great.

It really is a good feeling when you have your 'old dog' back.  Now you look at her like she is just one of the pack, but still enjoy the tripawd star status!!

Yay for new milestones!!!  I too get worried when Chloe tries to run around and play with other dogs because I just hope that nothing happens to that remaining back leg.  They really are insipiring and resilient and we hope Pippa continues to do well!!!
