You made the right decision because you listened to your heart...and you listened to Tucker. We will say extra, extra prayers tonight and tomorrow - please let us know how things go.

When you pick him up, it will be difficult to see the loss of the leg and he will most likely be groggy - but look into his eyes and watch that tail wagging and I promise the tears will be tears of joy.

Lots of love and prayers - we will stayed tuned and help you through the next few weeks. The hard part of making the decision is over.

Try and get some rest over the next couple days...you'll need your strength to get through the first couple weeks of recovery.

Heather and Zeus

I'm gonna ditto everyone and tell you the hardest part is over, and you are doing what you feel is right and that is wonderful. Our Wrigley also has Osteosarcoma- she had a very large tumor on her scapula removed.  We just got back from a walk ( shall I say hopping run- I have a hard time keeping up with her) . We celebrated our 1 month post amp on Jan. 22 and she is doing so good.

It is very weird to see them the first time without the leg, but you get used to it real quick. But like Zeus' mom said, that wagging tail and happy eyes will tell you how happy you made Tucker by taking away his pain.

I forget where you are- if you are in a cold climate you may need some sort of sweater for Tucker as they will probably shave a good part of his furcoat-

If you don't already have, you may want to get some raised feeders- it makes it easier for them to eat.

They will be groggy for the 2 week recovery period- rely on  all of us for any questions or support- we are all here for each other. I could not have gotten through that time without the wonderful  folks and pooches here.

You will be in our thoughts and prayers- hang in there. One step closer. Take it one day at a time ( or as we say here even one hour at a time if needed)

and do get some rest for yourself- you'll need it to stay strong for Tucker. You are the pack leader and they rely on us to direct them- we're strong, their strong.

Seanne and CA Wrigley.

Wrigley had her surgery on Monday and came home on Tues. We went back for a check on Wed. She had a drain in the incision spot that was removed on Wed- should probably have stayed in longer, but it was Christmas and they were closed.... so we probably rushed that part. But it all worked out (one trip to the emergency room) You sound like you have plenty of experience so I think being home will be the best place. There is no place like home. The biggest thing is keeping them quiet and resting those 2 weeks.  They feel so good they want to do more than rest sometimes- then the pain pills keep them pretty groggy too and somedays they won't lift their heads. Its a roller coaster ride thats for sure.

Rely on us for support and questions. We've all been there- and made it !!!!!!
