I'm so sorry that I'm just now replying to y'all!!!!!! It has been a crazy few months for sure.
Domino! Domino is so far doing great. He's happy, mostly healthy and had the best Christmas ever!! Don't worry Sally, I've been taking tons of pictures for you and I'll post them all below!! I even took a quick 30 sec video because I know some of you are curious as to how Domino's face looks and how his jaw is. So I actually just took it today! We did have a follow up at UVS last week because over Christmas I did notice that Domino's upper canines are leaving a red/raw spot on his lower jaw. The vet doesn't think it's anything to be worried about right now or anything to correct. If it gets worse she would consider going in and reducing the crowns of his upper canines, but I don't know if I would put him through it. So as of right now we're trying to live every day to the fullest. Lots of cuddles, lots of toys and treats (Domino can eat hard treats perfectly fine 😉 ). The pictures below are just a hodge podge of the last couple of months, including Christmas morning, car rides to run errands, cuddles with his housemates etc. I hope you enjoy! This community is the best and it makes me feel good knowing there are people out there that love this crazy wiggle butt as much as I do!

Domino's favorite toy the Kong Wobbler!
Domino took a field trip to my roommates office and this was his reaction lol

When missing a front leg you must take advantage of the couch lol

This year I made ornaments for all of my dogs. Inside is their fur 🙂
Selfies with Domino don't really work lol

Domino had his left front leg amputate on May 13th 2014 after being hit by a car. He's now living a happy healthy life on three legs :)
Here is the link for the video of Domino's face that I took today.

Cassie,
Thank you so much for sharing pictures of Domino. He looks great. Absolutely marvelous. I am sorry to hear about the teeth rubbing but if the vets say don't worry then try not too. You have a great plan in place. Keep on enjoying life and making him have enjoyable memories.
I loved the idea of the fur inside of the Christmas ornaments. I might be stealing that idea from you. 🙂

And Cassie, it's your pawsitivity and energy that has helped him to kick that stupid cancer in the butt and enjoy life to the fullest. YOU rock too my dear!

I am so thrilled you shared an update and so many wonderful images! He is looking so fantastic and SO HAPPY. He is clearly doing just great.

On October 27, 2016, nearly 6 months after amputation, and 18 months since his cancer likely started, we lost Pofi to a recurrence of Soft Tissue Sarcoma in his spine quite suddenly. His canine sister also succumbed to cancer on March 1, 2019 - we lavished her with our love in the interim, but life was never quite the same without her only real canine friend. Cliff kitty had to leave us, too, suddenly, in August 2019. Lucia kitty grieved all these losses, but helped us welcome two new Lurchers into our home and our lives, Shae and Barley.
Oh Domino boy... You sure are one special boy and Minneapolis??? Wow your not too far from us. Thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures....
