Resting Comfortably

My mom can not get over what a good patient I am.  I guess I must be old hat to this since I just had a pretty major operation in February when they had to amputate my rear leg. We are working better at the sling, my mom found that if she tries to keep me on her left side it works better, because you see my tail is my “fourth” leg, I use it for everything to help balance and direct me and it is LONG, the doctor calls my tail my rudder and my tail tends to be headed in the direction of my missing leg, so if I am on her right side that means my LONG tail is also on her right side…I bet we get it in sync just about the time I don’t need it anymore, well if you ask me I don’t think I need the sling now but they tell me I must use it, so my mom will, she said she did not fight for me to have this surgery for it to get messed up, so she is going to be a drill sergeant and keep me in line! I truly want to thank all of you out there for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, being a Tripawd has many benefits and the support that is found here is one of those benefits! Happy Memorial Day!

Hannah is a 7 mos old purebred Plush Coated German Shepherd Dog. Hannah was turned over to Coastal when she was a 4 mos old puppy. She was born with a defective left rear leg, it was straight, but it was straight underneath her so she couldn't use it, it just interfered with her ability to get around, due to the fact that she was hindered in her ability to get around whoever had her before Coastal did not feed her properly so her bones didn't develop properly and her right leg has some orthopedic issues, but Coastal works with the best vets around and Hannah's orthopedic doctor has NO doubt at all that once she has her surgery(ies) she will live a long and happy life! Hannah has lived in a foster home since Coastal took her under their wing and has thrived. In February she had the left rear leg amputated and is healing up beautifully and making up for lost time, full of puppy life and vigor. She is now getting the proper nutrition that every puppy deserves. View all posts by hannah
