Remy here – checking in on my buddies

Spring has finally sprung here in Eastern Pennsylvania. Lots more green grass to sniff. I have been busy going for hikes with my Dad and my fur-brother Freddy. Dad lets me run off leash up in the fields, but Freddy has to stay on a long lead because he has run away before. He just wants to get a squirrel so badly that he forgets about us. We have fun all the same. So it’s been over 4 months now since I had my left front leg amputated and I barely miss it. It would come in handy when I am jumping off the bed or out of the truck. Mommers always worries and makes sure that Dad uses my ruff harness handle to help me down. She a worrier. Mummers had me on lots of homeopathic remedies but she has backed off of that for now. She does mix some really yummy stuff into my dry food that tastes SO GOOD!! (BigDog Dehydrated Food). She gives some to Freddy too. It’s only fair.

Today I went to my doctor’s office for some acupuncture. This is about the 5th time and it really helps my back legs because they have some stiffness and I need them to work good for me. Mommers also found a sore on my front paw that she is worried about so my doctor took a slide to do a culture of it. She doesn’t want me to lick at it….. but when she isn’t looking, I do. Don’t tell her, okay?  Sorry that I have not written to you guys in a bit. Mommers was taking a few online courses and now she is done.

Hope you are all hopping happy!

Love, Remy

I am a dog lover and have been involved with Lab rescue and shelter work for many years. A few years ago I became a Professional Certified Dog Trainer and left the corporate world job behind me. I love working with dogs and their owners. Two weeks ago we found out that our Remy, our 8 year old black lab had Osteosarcoma in his left front leg. It was amputated on Friday, 11/16. Today is Day 4 and he has been up and hopping around. We are reading everything we can about cancer on the cancer dog blog and loving the inspirational stories here on Tripawds. We also have a 7 year old Australian Shepherd that we adopted a year ago. His name is Freddy. And we have Chico, our 30+ year old African Grey Parrot. We are finding the cup half full, not half empty. Ready to kick Remy's cancer to the gutter. View all posts by remysmom
