Marshall has made some improvements today. When he's down he's still down but when he's active for those few minutes he engages more and we got a few tail wags. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
YIpppeeee! That's awesome!!!
Did you happen to see today's Amazon blog post? There are some great games in there that can help stimulate his mind too!

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Funny you should post that blog. Marshall loves to eat his food out of his treat balls or giant food dispensing kong. So I figured that I would try it today since he hasn't played with them since his biopsy. He did it!!!!!!!! It actually got him out of his crate and he went over to it and ate his breakfast out of it and of course I took videos. Lots of them! Haha
Thanks for the idea!!!! I didn't think he was ready but he was!
Oh yesssss! That's awesome!

YAY for some good news for you!!! Shelby is definitely feeling more active and I am going to research some things to engage her activity level while trying to keep her calm(ish) since a month in, she's still in recovery mode! But I am happy to hear you are starting to see baby step progress! Feels great, right?

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
And another sigh of relief washes over the whole tripawd community!

Christine..... with Franklin in her heart♥
Franklin, he was the Happiest Dog on Three Legs! Diagnosed 09/26/2012 with Osteosarcoma, amputated 12/4/2012. Had a wonderful 5 1/2 months painfree until he ran for the Bridge on 5/15/2013. Always in my heart, and always a guardian angel of my pack... You can follow his Tripawd Adventures, before and after, in my blog, Frank'n'Farter!
Thanks everyone. He went outside twice already today yesterday it was only twice the entire day and night and he is engaging more. When he comes back inside he wants to be left alone but that's ok this is an improvement. I posted some videos I apologize for the one duplicate that I posted still figuring out how this works. Thanks for all the positive thoughts for us!!!!
So happy Marshall is doing better.....taking it slow, but still getting better each day. He will be back to himself before you know it.
Enjoy everyday with him.

Marshall didn't go back in his crate this morning and I even left it open. He laid in kitchen for a while now on his bed in family room. He ate his breakfast from shaky kong again and has asked to go out twice!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!! I did give him 1 tramadol last night as per Dr. Mason bc she thinks he might be uncomfortable.
Shaky Kong is da bomb! Yay! That's awesome news.
Keep it up Marshall, you're getting there!
