If you don't own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.

What a great video - such a gorgeous boy (but of course - he's a flat coat).  Tate looks like he's doing great - just awesome! You must be so proud.  Happy Ampuversary!

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!

Tate, what a cutie!  He looks like he has been traveling this way all his life.  What a smooth transition from 4 to 3 legs.  Right into the water too..  I think that calls for a celebration 🙂

We will put ice cubes in our water today, and ice cream tonight to celebrate a really great recovery for Tate.

I couldn't begin to say how special Sammy is to us.  Living and laughing with and loving this wonderful boy is priceless.

Tate is really looking good!  I think the rear amps have the advantage in mobility.  Not nearly as hard as the front amp hop.  Love the little lake, where is it?  It is quite lovely, and peaceful.  How lucky to have a place like that to take Tate.

I have to admit, when I first came to the world of tripawds, I figured the front amp would be easier, but these last few videos , and peoples experience have made me realize how well these rear amps do, way to go Tate, lookin' good for 6 weeks, Big Paws up, Spirit Gus and Dan 

My buddy Gus had a left front amputation on April 7, 2010 and lived a great life until July 26,2010

Thank you everyone.  This lake is in the northwoods of Wisconsim, and yes, that is ice.  (We also got 5 inches of snow.) We were very relieved to see Tate doing so well, because he didn't seem that great back home in boring old suburbia.  But he is only 4 years old, and I think you are absolutely right about a rear amp having it easier.

I hope I didn't make anyone feel bad about their own pup's progress by posting this; when we were in the thick of it with Tate, sometimes good news from others didn't make me feel very good, it just made me sad.  I'm just hoping Tate lives long enough to earn his gray muzzle, and then he can sleep as much as he wants.  sleepy
