Three+ weeks since surgery

Adam and I went to discuss chemo last week with our vet and have decided it isn’t something we want to pursue.  Rufus seems perfectly happy (as happy as he can be with a missing front leg anyway) and as everything is so slow moving in his case, we are optimistic that any spread of the disease will also be slow moving.  Here he is this morning hanging out with Chewy.  The snow has finally melted.

We took him out for a walk this morning, the link below is a video.  He gets tired pretty quickly but that is a lot of weight to put on a single front leg.  We’re starting slow and hopefully he’ll build up some stamina so we can go further.

Lastly, here’s my favorite photo of him when he was just a boy!

  1. Aww, he’s doing great. Doesn’t look at all perplexed or discontent with his new stride. Hope we can visit him when we’re back late April. xoxo
