Levi celebrated his one-year ampuversary yesterday with some steak dinner!

https://www.ins.....O4ajGByX2/

So we're now 1-year post amputation, and about 14 months post first diagnosis of osteosarcoma. We know every day is a blessing, and we're ecstatic that he's made it this much longer. Of course, we're a bit greedy and hope he blows past all the "stats," but there's no sense worrying ourselves with that now!

We did chemo and had him on Im Yunity for several months, but that got a bit cost prohibitive, so we stopped it last spring. He eats Honest Kitchen food, though he'll probably expect a steak dinner every night now... 

Everybody here was so awesome and helpful last year when we went through the amputation. I just wanted, in addition to giving the update, to say thank you again. For those who may read this who are about to go through the same themselves, please remember that while many of the stories you'll read are scary and involve complications and dogs having trouble adjusting, not all are like that! Some dogs, like Levi, are back to normal before you can believe it (he'd done the big 3 - eat/pee/poop - within 24 hours). And if there ever is an issue, the folks here are so incredibly supportive and helpful that you should never feel alone. We all understand just how overwhelming this can be, and while obviously nobody wants to join the Tripawd club, once you're in it, it feels like a new family!

Hoping for many ampuversaries for all your Tripawds!
