Getting Back in the Groove

Day by day Rocky is getting back to his old self. He loves getting out and about. He is sleeping better at night. His pain is getting better everyday. Still on some Tramadol, but not on a set schedule. Once in a while Rocky forgets that he is a tripaw. He catches himself just before he falls.  We got his harness today and got it fitted. I love it and it will a big help with winter weather coming soon. We are looking forward to a trip to Petco soon. Rocky loves going there and knows all the employees.

Rocky is our 125lbs lab mix. He is a big sweetheart. After limping for 18 months we finally were sent to a neurologist. They found a bulging disc and pinched sciatic nerve. 3 weeks into his recovery he could not stand. MRI showed tumor and fracture femur. On Nov15 his left rear leg was amputated.

  1. My Otis discovered that three legged dogs get lots of free treats in pet stores! He loved visiting.

    Glad things are going so well for Rocky.

  2. I just went back and caught up on Rocky’s blogs!! It’s wonderful to see how he has evolved through his first days of recovery…his first poop…Johnny “helping” to hold him up with his tail…to staple removal….to now feeling better and better!!

    And ya’ know what??? It’s still early and it still gets better and better!!!

    Can’t wait to see pictures/video of his trip to Petco! He’s gonna be so happy!! They should be having Santa Claus stopping by for photo ops soon! And Rocky’s been a very godd boy so I’m sure Santa will give him lots of extra goodies!! 🙂

    And you get extra CHOCOLATE! You’ve done a. EXCELLENT JOB of caring for Rocky! 🙂

    Hugs!

    1. Thanks Sally. Rocky always loves seeing Santa and we definitely will get pics and share them. Rocky has a girlfriend at Petco. They are the same age have known each other since they were 8 weeks old. Can’t wait for them to see each other again. His girlfriend was in a car accident last year and they did see weather other for months. It will. E good to reunite them again.
