QuoteCan you believe its been 6 months since Rileys amputation!!! Wow 
It was also a year ago this month that she was first misdiagnosed with arthritis in her shoulder and when she ended up breaking her leg in December is when they compared the x-rays and realized they had miss it.
Today we did our normal loop around the Rugby / Baseball fields at Cal Poly…..The light blue thing on the left is actually 3 porta potties and my truck is farther down from that – we walk all the way to the top of the fields and all the way around and back down to the the fence way down there at the trees….We stopped at the 1/2 way mark for a photo shoot!!!
We also had our first doggy chiropractor appt this week……she walked out of there with a prance in her step and for the first time in about 2 months her back legs were spaced far apart – her hips were turning in and she was stepping on her back feet when she walked and stopped wagging her tail which all started a couple months ago once she started getting back to her routine and was busy being a dog and "go slow" and "take it easy" went right out the window……
So tonight we celebrate the milestones we have endured this past year and expecially this past 6 months – complete with belly rubs and chicken strips and maybe some ice cream!!!!!

Hoorah for ampuversaries and for celebrating all the special days we get with our pooches. Hoorah for celebratory ice cream!
Keep on going, Riley. We want to celebrate many more with you!

Scratch the cake and ice cream – when I said celebrate with the cats – Riley took that to mean she should eat 2 cans of fancy feast and 1 entire bowl of dry science diet while I had my back turned -
I am guessing she is going to be a tad bit gassy tonight…..Lovely……

OfflineOh! WOW! Riley that is just the best news EVER!!!!!
I can't believe it's been 6 months!!
But missing out on chicken strips and ice cream rather sucks. I think you deserve it even if you had some Fancy Feast and kibble! What's a little gas amongst family!

Way to go Riley!!! And sneaking the cat food- classic move

The pugs will have extra snacks in your honor tomorrow, they are already asleep tonight. And besides, they sleep with me and there is that gas thing…
Keep racking up the months!

Blah, blah, blah, blah…another story! Funny how we never get action pics.
Here's me today after climbing that mountain! You know, the one in the background that you CAN SEE!
I'm just playin' Mommy! Can I still get some ice cream?
