 (Honestly, I should probably be on medication)

Hahahaha! I've done it for 11 years!  I have every inch of Comet's body memorized!  A tuft of hair out of place makes me nervous!   I'm beyond meds, I'm closer to a rubber room! 

Mika's mom,

Comet has never known what it would be like to walk on all four.  I doubt very seriously she has ever thought about it either.  What she does know is she gets everything she asks for from mommy and daddy! Therefore she is a horribly spoiled child-like dog! But I'm gonna guess she thinks it's because she has a great personality and push-over pawrents!

Non-functioning or missing legs - that's not even in a dog's vocabulary!   

Wishing you all the best tomorrow!

Her Retired AvatarComet - 1999 to 2011

She departed us unexpectedly  January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.

She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.

I hope everything goes great for Henri and Mika. Sadie was in the hospital for 5 nights sf-surprised I missed her terribly, but my work schedule gave me little time to be home, and my husband has physical limitations that keep him from caring for a 90lb dog so soon after surgery. I only visited her once because she was really unhappy after I left without her. Her drain was already removed and dry when I brought her home (another advantage, I guess). I bet they both do great. Keep us posted!

Sadie is my 9yr old Rott/Shepherd mix. Diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her right scapula 1/28/10. Our brave girl had her amputation 2/13/10 and her last chemotherapy on 6/6/10. Unfortunately, a tumor appeared in her back right leg and on 10/7/2010 Sadie's earthly journey came to an end.  On 10/24/2010 we adopted Ranger, a handsome Rott/Lab mix tripawd (got hit by a car) I think Sadie sent him to us.

Good Luck Mika and Mom. Experience shows that our dogs improve so much when the pain is gone. What ever time you have left will be great, enjoy everyday and encourage Mika to live his life.
