Faith who is 11 years old had her surgery in December just before Christmas. Wanted to let you know that 7 months later she is doing fabulous. She is up and running....swimming.....and loving life. She keeps up with my other lab who is 7.
Best decision I made.... Thanks for all of your support during that very crazy time.

Yay for Faith!! Thanks for the update. We always look forward to good news around here.

That is really terrific news! We love hearing back from folks to find out how their Tripawd is doing. We are really happy for you both.
I hope you don't mind but I moved your post here to "Size and Age Matters." It will give a lot of hope to pawrents who are contemplating amputation for their senior pup.
In the meantime if you have any photos to share we'd love to see them!
