Sorry I've not posted for a while, it's been a busy couple of weeks!
Moby is doing really well. just before two weeks post op the wound started opening up a little bit, and was weeping, so the vet put some staples in and gave us intra-site gel to put on it. It has all healed up beautifully now and all stitches and staples came out last Monday 
Moby ignored the stairs for two and half weeks but attempted them a few days ago....I was quite worried she'd have trouble coming down, but she goes up and down in a very orderly and safe fashion! I will have to do a video.
So here's a couple of pictures and video of Moby doing her favourite thing 
Sorry....can't get the photobucket video to embed

OMD, the pic with her ears flying is so cute! She looks great and very happy.
(I had trouble embedding a video the other day too... I never did figure it out and had to just put in the link - Admin fixed it for me. So, afraid I have no advice on how to do it right!)
Jackie, Angel Abby's mom
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. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Karen and Spirit Magnum
Magnum: 30th May 2002 to 5th May 2012. Lost her back left leg to osteosarcoma on 5th Sep 2011. Lung mets found on 20th Mar 2012 but it was bone mets in the hip that ended her brave battle. Magnum's motto - "Dream as if you'll live for ever, live as if you'll die today" (James Dean). Loyal, loving, courageous and spirited to the end. My beloved heart dog, see her memoirs from Rainbow Bridge ...... http://princess.....pawds.com/

Love love love her flying pigtail ears!
Oh what great news this is, thank you for the update. It's always good to know how things turn out. Stories like Moby's give hope to a lot of people searching for comfort.
When you post a video here, if it's in YouTube all you need to do is paste the entire URL in your browser bar. The video will then appear. For some reason the "Share" link in YT doesn't work here, but the URL does. Not sure about Photobucket but I assume it might be the same way. How did you get it to post this time?

Thanks everyone! I got the video to work by pasting in HTML code into to the HTML Edit source button on the blue task bar.
I'll try to upload Moby coming down the stairs!
