Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

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 guys are doing great!! A few bumps in the road of recovery is to be expected. Glad things are starting to even out for sweet Maya. I believe me we've all gone through the phase of questioning our decision to amputate but then once you're on the other side of recovery it's all totally worth it!!
Hang in there!

May you finally be healthy and running free at the Rainbow Bridge. Until we meet again my sweet boy!
Oh yes, the roller coaster ride is real! lol Up and down you go!
At least you are on your way back up again
So glad to hear that Maya is doing well. Murphy never really had a hard time finding his balance. He did hit a slump after a little while where it seemed like his back legs got stiff and his back seemed hunched. What we figured out is if he lays on his side and we start massaging his back & hips, he will start stretching out and arching back...and moaning & groaning lol. It seems to help loosen his back & hips some for him.
