Soooo……..it’s been almost three weeks since surgery, we got the stitches out on Tuesday and did the first chemo treatment that same day as well. All in all things are well, the 48 hours after chemo were a bit sluggish so Mom invented a special “Tripawd Bone Holder” so 3LC can still chew on something and keep her balance with the other front paw.
On the weekends we have also taken to going on small road trips to her favourite places. We’ll try to do that during weekdays too but work gets in the way and it still takes both of us to lift 3LC into the car so that has been a little challenging. When we do go though it’s like seeing the parks for the first time again. Today she even did a few rolls, only to get stuck on her other side and the handle of the Help-Me-Up wouldn’t let her roll back so it took us about 10/15 seconds to realize she was stuck and needed help and wasn’t just playing in the mulch…..
A big shout out to Paolo and Hambone for motivating 3LC to go a few extra steps. We didn’t go into the park but hovered around the lake and playground area like we normally do: I think we walked a total of about 600 yards today, which sofar is a record even though is was broken up in 4/5 legs…..no pun intended…….
3LC also “gently” snapped at Leo, one of the sweetest and most submissive Golden Retrievers we know, and his toy ball and so we kind of need to remind her that she has only 3 legs….even though she thinks she is still the Queen Bee of the park….
Wow, 3LC is gorgeous. Congratulations on getting out and about. I think it just gets easier. I also love the bone holder.
You’re always queen bee to us 3LC!
