Wow, Zorion sounds like an awesome dog! The sleeping upside-down picture is priceless.

I'm so happy to read that Zorion is doing so well after his surgery! He's just adorable and the fact that he's rolling over with such happiness says that he's on the great road to recovery and you'll have your Zorion back in no time!  He won't even know that he's missing a leg. laugh Here's wishing you a speedy and smooth recovery Zorion - it looks like you are already on your way!

My sweet golden Mackenzie.  She became my angel on Dec 29, 2010 at the age of 8 1/2  although she was always my angel from the time we brought her home.  She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in Sept 2009 and officially became a tripawd (front leg) on Nov 5, 2009.  She will be forever in my heart and now she's running free with all of our other tripawd heroes.  I love you Mackenzie!

UPDATE

 

Hi guys! Mum finally let me get on here, we went for a looooong drive over the last two days, I of course slept for most of it, wasn't going to bother with watching the trees fly past. Arrived on the Sunshine Coast, on the east coast of Australia according to Mum, yesterday around lunch time, and got to play with some friends I haven't seen since Christmas! We went to the beach this morning, and then to a park this afternoon, and only recently got back! Had a fantastic time at the beach, Mum got me swimming out in the water, and I met a lot of new friends! My leg is healing up nicely, Mum took the stitches out this morning so I could swim at the beach (but don't tell Mum, I would have gone swimming anyway!)

 

Here are some photos of me that my aunty Jas took at the beach this morning!

And Mum told me to put this last photo up, even though I don't really know why she took a photo of the ground after I ran past…

Will keep you updated as we go!

 

Zorion & Mum

Zorion – my 3-legged Kelpie. Joined the world of Tripawds on May 6th after a bad dislocation and failed FHO. Loving life as a Tripawd. Still capable of working sheep (and horses unfortunately) and loving having a sister now.
Jenny – my 4-legged Labrador. Obedience titled and loving being part of my family again, and enjoying teaching Zorion some manners.

Zorion looks like one happy dog.  So glad he is getting to do so many fun things so soon.  It's all about quality time and memories...

LOVE the footprints in the sand.  Very powerful!
