I don't give her ice cream...
Good for you!
I'm not sure how to post a picture in the gallery here...
Technically you don't post pictures in the gallery here. 
Images must be hosted somewhere online though, then you can use the Insert Image link in the post editor too add photos to your posts. If you don't already host images somewhere (other than on the Faceborg) you can start a free Tripwds Blog anytime!
If you need further instruction, here are detailed instructions for adding photos to forum posts . If you don't already share photos online somewhere, you can start a free Tripawds blog any time and upload them there. Need more help? Post in the Tech Support forum and we'll be happy to assist!

Hi Zoey
im sure you look beautiful with your Tripawd bandanna on, but unfortunately Stewie and I kept getting errors when we clicked on your picture links.?
Instead of ice cream, can you have a bully stick?! That’s like a royal treat for Stewie! You deserve the best Zoey!🍗🧀🥓
Hoping your still hopping hoppily along!
Remember...“live in the moment!“
I was only able to see one full photo, the others were cut off by Photobucket.
Just want to make sure you know about the Photobucket fiasco of the last few months right? They held people's photos hostage and were no longer allowing them to appear on third party sites like ours, until they paid a crazy annual fee. Photos that went back many years instantly disappeared from here and on many, many other sites. Don't get us started on that topic!
We recommend using other photo sharing sites like Imgur, Google, etc, instead.

My dog Luke was actually comfortable lying down on the amputated side immediately... woke up in pain because of the pressure I imagine (he's all healed up now but sometimes he doesn't make the smartest decisions...).
I tried uploading Zoey's pics to Google. Was unaware of problems with photobucket. This should be the link to her pictures: (I hope)
Oh Zoey, such beautiful pictures! And is that your family? You are a very lucky girl and you are doing marvellously well!
And such a beautiful Bandanna!
❤️
Zoey says thank you! Yes, that is her sister Zelda (they were litter mates that we adopted together 11 years ago this month) and one of her kitty sisters, Stryper. We adopted 2 kitties that were litter mates as well.
Zoey is doing well. Her fur is still growing in, slowly, but it's getting there. She can walk all the way to the mail box now, which is about a quarter of a mile. She can only do it once a day though, twice is too much we've learned. She runs out and chases the birds in the back yard. She lays on both sides now and rolls over for belly rubs too. She's enjoying being a dog again. We are enjoying having our happy dog back as well!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
You are awesome, Zoey! A quarter mile a day AND chasing birds?! Yes, you are feeling much more like yourself again! Belly rubs are well deserved!
Hugs and puppy kisses,

I loved life as a tripawd for over three years following right forelimb amputation due to an aggressive and recurrent hemangiopericytoma. I reclaimed my place among the gods and valkyries in Valhalla on November 11th, 2020. My parents miss me tremendously, but I know they'll keep me in their hearts forever... and don't worry, I've approved my mom's use of my Tripawds account.
