Hi everybody
I thought I post this video which shows how big dogs can exercise and have fun at the same time
Of course, the poor ladies helping her were exhausted by the time the 4 laps were done.
So, if anybody is worrying about how well their giant furries are going to do (especially if they can't swim, like my girl) here's the proof of the pudding.
The first and second sessions were not as glamorous, Eurydice panicked quite a bit and would hit the water hard with her front leg trying to figure out what to do rather than swimming as she now does (proud mom sigh)
Sending you all a big hug, cuddles to your sweeties and exhausted woof woofs from miss cow
Eurydice 77kg/170lb Great Dane limping end of April 2016, amputation (right front leg/osteosarcoma) 4 May 2016 6 courses of carboplatin followed by metronomic therapy, lung mets found 30 Nov 2016. 3 courses of doxorubicin, PET scan 26 Jan 2017 showed more mets so stopped chemo. Holistic route April 2017. Lung X-ray 5 May 2017 showed several tennis ball size mets, started cortisone and diuretics. Miss Cow earned her XXL silver wings 12 June 2017, 13 months and 1 week after amputation and 6 1/2 months after lung mets, she was the goofiest dawg ever and is now happily flying from cloud to cloud woof woofing away :-)
EXCELLENT JOB EURYDICE!!! Wait! Is that Eurydice or is it a cow??? My goodness she's a big girl! I love that it took all those stavfers to help guide her!
I can only imagine the splash she made with her front paw as she was getting her "sea legs"!
Eurydice, you continue to inspire and amaze us all!
Thanks for sharing allmof your adventures with us! You ccertainly know how to have fun! 🙂
Love and hugs!

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!
This is so great! I love how she has a life buoy around her neck. She looks so determined - perhaps she's trying to get it over with quickly.
Thanks for the video and laugh for the day.
Kitty cat snuggles for you and the family.

Oh my DOG I love it! Especially how it takes THREE people to swim with her! She is truly amazing, thank you so much for sharing her session with us!

Way to go sweet girl! How great that must be for helping build strong core muscles for her! You go Eurydice!
Thank you so much everybody
I soooo love seeing miss cow having fun
Life doesn't get any better than when are interacting and observing our babies and their friends
We are going on a big trip soon to visit lots of her furry and human friends and she will start being a therapy dog when we return to the UK, health permitting (frenetically touching wood here)
Thank you so much for being part of our journey and being there for us!
Sending you a huge hug and cuddles to your sweeties, mooooooooooo from Eureka
