Thanks everyone for your thoughts and wishes. Ellie is back home with us. We had breakfast together, and now she's resting.

Here is one of her 1st post op photos:

Welcome home Ellie! My name is Charley and I think you're really cute!!! I am a 3 year old chocolate lab and I am also a front leg amp (osteosarcoma)! Once your staples are removed you'll be soooo much better! The staples start pulling and pinching when your incision is healing. Sending lots of positive thoughts for a speedy recovery!

Make sure you get lots of rest and you'll be running around in no time! Here's a video of me playing in the snow at 12 weeks post amp.

Hugs and chocolate kisses,

Charley (and his mommy, Ellen)

Yes – what Charon said! Only work a margarita in there somewhere…

She looks great! Hope she heals up quickly!

Sending healing kisses from Abby,

Jackie & Abby

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.

Ellen,

Thanks for posting the video of Charley. It's very inspiring as Ellie has been a real ball and frizbee dog.

Just taking thing a moment at a time.

No time for rest now, I have a photo workshop I'm teaching tomorrow I need to prepare for!

Sorry I can't change the subject line in these post:

Ellie-day 2

I was out teaching all day today and Ellie progress from the morning to evening has been amazing. We couldnt rouse her so we carried her up the steps. (could also be she isn't a "morning" girl)

When I came home, she bounded over to greet me as usual, with full smile and she's learning to bunny hop around.

I'm the one who needs the sleep as I was up late, really late, last night.

So goodnight and thanks for all the good thoughts. They are really
making they're way to her.

Reid
