I hope you can see these, I've never done this before...all these other videos are popping up now...eek. Back to the drawing board? Sally, help!
Looking great! I love how Dotty uses her tail!
ACL tear in right hind leg 12/5/12 and scheduled ACL repair surgery 12/21/12. Pre-op xrays revealed osteosarcoma. Amputation 12/28/12. Chemo (carboplatin) started Jan 10, 2013 and ended on April 5, for a total of 5 doses. He handled carbo like a champ! No side effects. We started metronomic therapy at his third chemo and have been also doing some holistic treatments. He's a lively, playful 10 year old huskie-boarder collie and a very proud member of the Winter Warriors! Our love. Our funny little guy!
Dotty's propeller tail is just adorable! Love these videos!!!
I'm still SO impressed that this is the same pup who had such a ruff recovery. WoW! Look what love and determination (and great vets!) can do. Amazing!

lol.... LOVE the propeller tail!!!
Thank you for sharing and bringing smiles!!!
I think Dotty secretly loves swimming.. she just isn't showing it!!
Christine..... with Franklin in her heart ♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Victoria! They are great!
You, Ms. Victoria, have mastered the world of videography!
You, Ms. Dottie, have mastered the world of swimming!
I do believe she looks like she really likes it now! And yeah, the use of her tail is masterful
You've got this Dottie!
I think the "other video" thing is normal after this video finishes. Are you talking about all those boxes lf other videos at the end of this oe? HA! Look at me acting like I'm giving advice!
You two persevered, hung in there and stayed the course believing things woud get better! Look at her now! Incredible! So proud of you both!! You are a great mom!
Lots of love,
Saly and Happy Hannah
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!
Wow look at Dotty go! So glad to see how far she's come and how great she's doing. She does much better at swimming than Atlas. He has a hard time with only one front leg. She can really navigate with the front two paws and then use her tail to counter balance. Good girl Dotty! She looks fantastic and that's such good exercise for her. That's a great physical therapy pool too!
Patricia & Mighty Atlas
What a great recovery! That's fantastic to see. We are trying some swim therapy with Cora but she is terrified so far. Dottie looks like she's having a blast.
