I know that there is a gallery to see different pictures that have been submitted, but is there an area where you can see the stages of recovery clumped together (first few days, second week, fully recovered, etc) and where it's easy to upload without emailing?  If not I totally think there should be…it'd be really helpful.   

I'd love to submit some before and after pics of Mac.  He's so pretty and I guess I'd like to show him off while I still can, and let others who are about to have surgery know what to expect.  Every single time in his life we've taken him out people say “Wow what a gorgeous dog” “That's the most beautiful dog I've ever seen” and a lot of times “She has the sweetest face” “She's so pretty” “She has beautiful coloring”  Whatever  I never really thought he was girly looking until everybody assumed he was a female. 

Oh well, dude looks like a lady.

That's too funny because when I saw his picture on your posts, I thought "Man!  That is one adorable doggie!!!"  I would love to see more of him 🙂

The Tripawds Treatment Photo Gallery does include post-amputation and recovery photos. Though in no specific order, the earliest photos in the gallery – the higher gallery page numbers – track Jerry's progress after his amputation.

Easily sharing photos is exactly why we started the new Tripawds Blogs. You can start your blog and begin uploading photos in minutes. Adding a page with before and after photos is a great idea! If you need help getting started, check out our WordPress blog tutorial videos.

A blog is a good idea.  I know that dogs are like children and their stories are always much more interesting to us than to other people, but who cares.  Indeed I shall share cute pictures (I have hundreds...it's like "Look he turned his head slightly in this one" lol).  I've been trying to take pictures of him when he's standing and walking now but he always sits down before I get the chance.  The steroids have helped him regain some strength so hopefully I'll have more active pics to share.  I told Mac that you guys thought he was adorable and he perked up and got happier....he's narcissistic and self-conscious that way. 

Oh and I thought Tazzie was a girl when I first saw his pics too  😛 sorry tazzie....you uh, manly man you

Well I know that it isn't much, but I have a photo page on Cherry's TriPawd Journey web posting a total of 18 thumbnail photos of Cherry starting from the weekend after the initial diagnosis through just before her 9th ampuversary.  (Larger versions can be seen by selecting the individual thumbnail.)  These include the dressing just after amputation, immediately after removal of stitches, during her second chemotherapy treatment, and other silly photos.  They also include both of her TriPawd Sweaters.

Bob & Cherry

PS:  By the way, the rose with Cherry is named "Black Cherry".

Cherry's beautiful...she has a wise look about her.  If she were mine I think I'd end up calling her silly names like Curlybutt and totally negate her wise presence lol.

Great! Wonderful picture story! Cherry is indeed a beautiful doggie.

Good Idea with the thumbnails!
