Lexie, you even make the cone of shame look adorable and your eyes just melt my heart! I agree with Sally, sure looks like she has some husky in her! So glad she's doing well and was able to go for a little walk!!

Glad to hear that Lexie is doing well...she sure is a spunky one 
I really love the pics - the cone looks much better than the regular cone of shame .
Good Luck at her appointment today.
Hugs

I'm glad all is well.
That stripey bandage is quite stylish!

Before I forget, re. the question about what the vet used topically on her wound...it was Yunnan Baiyo (natural herb to help with bleeding issues). You just split the capsules in half and the stuff oozes out, apparently.
Most recent update post is here.
Thanks to all for the support and comments above. And Karen, I need to update her pics...she's now sporting her cutest bandage yet!
Deb and Angel Lexie* Diagnosed at age 13. Tried radiation first; wish we had amputated upon diagnosis (even with lung mets). Joined Club Tripawd April 2014 & Lexie loved life on 3 legs! Advice: Start physical therapy as soon as your vet clears it, especially hydrotherapy if available :-) See Lexie pics here.
