Buddy's Journey

Dear Tripawds Family,

Today was a day of firsts.!!!

1. Buddy sat in the passenger seat on the way to our oncology appointment.  First time in the 9+ years that we’ve been together that he has ever down that.  Caption should read “Taking Chemo Head On.”  My sweet copilot!
2. Today was round one of 5 rounds of Cisplatin.  1st round is a lower dose than the next 4 to see how he tolerates it.  Fingers and paws crossed!  Prayers are apprecaited
3. Our first long walk post amputation.  Buddy is part of a pack.  I could tell he’s been down because our walks are so short.  So I bought him a “CHARIOT” for when he gets tired.   We walked with the pack and when I could tell he was tired, he hopped right in his chariot!!  We walked some more, stopped at a small park and he sniffed around and rolled around on the grass for the first time since he injured his leg over a month ago.  I could tell he was he was truly happy!!!!!  I got the idea off the Triwpawds website so thank you for that!  Now I get to be that crazy lady who puts her dog in a stroller!  HAHA!  I don’t care what people think.  Buddy loved it!!!!

I can’t thank you all enough for your ongoing support and encouragement.  It means the world to me and Buddy.

 

Buddy is doing great!!  He doesn’t care that he lost a leg – he’s still the same Buddy!!

Thank you all for your support!!!!!  Next step – meet with the Oncologist on Monday.

TRIPODS RULE!
