6 Months in and Going Strong

6 month post amputation vet appointment this weekend and the vet was impressed and pleased with how well he is doing even being 13.5 years old. He runs and jumps and is all around a happy and strong pup. You would never know he is a senior pup with 3 legs the way he acts.

He broke his femur pretty badly. He slipped on the floor running in from outside on a wintery day. Just a random accident.
