Well, Bell went to the doctor this morning and had the drain removed. The doctor says she is doing great and we can start letting her do a little more. Will post some pictures when I figure out how.
Hooray for doing great and for getting rid of the icky drain.
Hope she continues to do well!

Abby: Aug 1, 2009 – Jan 10, 2012. Our beautiful rescue pup lived LARGE with osteosarcoma for 15 months – half her way-too-short life. I think our "halflistic" approach (mixing traditional meds + supplements) helped her thrive. (PM me for details. I'm happy to help.) She had lung mets for over a year. They took her from us in the end, but they cannot take her spirit! She will live forever in our hearts. She loved the beach and giving kisses and going to In-N-Out for a Flying Dutchman. Tripawds blog, and a more detailed blog here. Please also check out my novel, What the Dog Ate. Now also in paperback! Purchase it at Amazon via Tripawds and help support Tripawds!

Happy to hear Bell is doing well! 
Here are instructions for adding pictures to forum posts. If you don't already share photos somewhere online, the easiest way may be to start a blog so you can upload them to your media library.

So glad to hear Bell is doing well!
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Sounds good! Can't wait to see some pictures of her.

Well Bell is getting better everyday! This morning she chased after some birds in the yard and this afternoon she actually jumped into the back of my 4x4 truck. Scared me half to death, but she made it with ease. She had done it before I could stop her. I'm so glad to see her acting like her old self.
Tripawds certainly excel at scaring their pawrents to death! Course, in her defense, she doesn't know she's a tripawd... Chasing birds and jumping into trucks-- that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! I foresee someone out birding next hunting season....
Scout: January 31, 2002 to November 7, 2011
Scout's diagnosis was "poorly differentiated sarcoma"; amputation 1/11/2011. Scout enjoyed 9 fantastic years on 4 legs and 9 glorious months on 3 legs. If love alone could have saved you…
