Wow! Our tripawds are warriors! Leo's recovery has been amazing. He is getting along better then I expected. He used his doggy door all by himself for the first time yesterday. I am having a hard time restricting his acivity. He wants to be on the go all the time. Every time I put him out he runs off after lizards and hobbles around the yard. He is constantly getting up and hopping around the house when I keep him inside. He also has eaten everything I have put in front of him. My co-workers even sent him a plant with daisies in it as a get well gift.

The first night was really hard because he cried and moaned the whole night even though I slept (or attempted to sleep) on the floor with him. Since then he has been happy and energetic. Also, I caught him licking his stitches after I got out of the shower on Wednesday so he has been wearing a t-shirt since then. He gets his stiches out tomorrow morning and I can get more information about what his activity level should be. It would not be good if he injured himself from overdoing it. His remaining front paw is a little swollen too. It doesn't seem to be bothering him but I am going to address it at the surgeon's tomorrow also.

I want to thank everyone so much for all the support and advice I have received here. Without all of you I would have never made it. I would have been a complete nervous wreck.

Hugs and kisses,

Sheri and Leo
