Yay Ashley! Standing ovation for standing!! You'll still have some ups and downs so don't be surprised. I know you'll feel such relief every time you see that "Ashly Attitude" come back! It's still there, just hiding out resting up for all the new found energy that is just around the corner
Ash may not feel like being too "sociable" til he starts feeling a little better and not so vulnerable..So happy for the victory. Naive her some applause for us, Sally and Happy Hannah
Yes It was such a big weight of my chest!!! Yeah the thing that is worrying me a little is the smell that i get when I pick her up? The tech at the vet says the incision and stiches look good and that the incision is draining a little but that is normal? Thanks

I'm so relieved that she's gotten up! Yay Ash!
My other pit, Kismet, was pretty careful around Kerm at first, but since he's gotten more active, she has too, & she's knocked him down several times inadvertently. He just gets back up & carries on, but I've had to really get after her to control herself around him so that he doesn't get hurt.
How old are they lol I hope my poor Ash does not get tipped over by Zeus 
lol

Kermit will be 11 next week & Kizzy will be 9 in August... Neither of them is a spring chicken but you'd never know it!
Your girl will probably get tipped more than once but she'll learn to shake it off & hop right back up.
Shooter's siblings are 8 (2 of them) and 5 (the foo-foo dog) and they are extremely active dogs. My female seems to be the one that shoves him out of the way the most, but he handles it well.
Spirit Shooter was a Miniature Australian Shepherd who was diagnosed with a MCT and had a LF amp 1/28/13 at 13-1/2 years old.
Shooter crossed the Bridge on 8/28/13, his 7 month ampuversary and two weeks from his 14th birthday.
