Wannabe Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Ooh, you better have lotsa tasty treats ready for him!!! Was thinking of you guys this morning when I woke up.My Pekingese male sleeps on a pillow on the floor next to my bed. As soon as he saw I was awake, he jumped up on the bed, onto my chest and started "kissing" me. His exuberance was infectious, and I had to laugh. It was not too long before his little sister joined in, and I was left a slobbering mess. WHICH I DID NOT MIND A BIT!!!!!My thoughts then went to you a Squams, thinking that if he did something similar before, if he would still be able to do it now, and if not, what effect it will have on him (and you) So strongs to you guys, and give him lotsa love.....

NixM Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) How is Squamish doing.? Been thinking of you all day. Edited August 28, 2015 by NixM Tumbleweed 1
Tumbleweed Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks, guys! Have to make an admission...I felt a wee bit daunted this morning by it all. I needn't have fretted...the vet surprised me by actually adding three new legs to Squamish rather than removing one! He's a dog possessed, and is making up for almost two weeks of being couped up! Instead of me having to be patient with him while he adjusts, he's leaving me far behind...had me tossing a ball for him till after the sun went down! Will post some pics when I get to my laptop.. .thanks again for all the thoughts and wishes! Edited August 28, 2015 by Tumbleweed Brian Fantana, Lurch the stalker, The Guy in Pink and 5 others 8

It was a case of slobber clobber! The vet opened the door, and he sprinted across the waiting area...skidding on his three legs! Licked me to death! Jumped up and stood against me...! More gob in the car after he hopped in and lay across the centre console...the slobber funneling out of his cone! Lurch the stalker, Wannabe, Uni and 3 others 6

Tumbleweed Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 What a weekend! I was nervous at the vet's on Friday. When the door opened, Squmaish popped his head around the jamb, and I thought he would need to be picked up and carried to the car...the he came screaming along the waiting room floor, skidded and splayed across the floor to me! Those cones can stop a dog getting a wounds, but can't sdtop their tongues from getting to your face! Got him home, there was a wee bit of sniffing and, like, "where the %#@* have you been?" from the others... He settled in quick, even grabbing the bag of balls I had bought at the vet out of the car. The vet said it's like "he had no emotional attachment to the limb". And she was so right! By the second throw, he had worked it out, and used his stump as a landing patch...sliding himself down onto it, and would scoop the ball in his cone! I was texting a mate early on Saturday morning, and she asked me how long he had to keep the cone on. I said: "It'll be gone by day-end." I was right, but he had some help from Scar doing his best impression of a vervet monkey... Sunday mornings are for lying in the kitchen while brekkie is made and slips off the counter by accident for the dogs to eat...Squamish did look a tad sus about what I was doing on the floor... Ghost just looked bored about life... These two pics show the amputation, apologies if they're a bit graphic... Thanks again for all the prayers, wishes and thoughts! Really helped!

NixM Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Nice to see him up and about and glad he lost the cone - it's just not cool. The incision looks good -" like a cornish pasty" as a patient once commented to me after his below knee amputation. Tumbleweed 1
