Tricera-Hops!

Ryan’s been taking me on more walks lately. He doesn’t even use the harness, cause he says I walk like a perfect gentlemen with my collar. So when they took me to another dog park yesterday, they didn’t bring the harness. I think they regretted it when we got there b/c I got a little too excited when I smelled all the dogs there! I lost all of my manners! I couldn’t go play in the offleash area on account of being too excited, so we practiced my leash walking in a field instead (it wasn’t so bad, I got some glucosamine treats). Then we went to the Humane Society store and exchanged my first halter for a toy. My first halter required me to step into it with both of my front feet. That’s tough to do when you only have one back leg to balance on! The new halter’s much better, it just snaps shut behind my front legs.

I was so tired by the time we got home. I get tired pretty easy. And, when I’ve slept it off, my back leg’s pretty stiff for awhile when I get up. Ryan and Ari have started lovingly calling me their “Tricera-Hops”!

I live in Portland, OR, with my boyfriend, a cat, and a turtle. Today we adopted 3-yr old male black lab Koda from the Oregon Humane Society. His rear right leg was amputated four months ago--they say he was hit by a car, and when the broken leg became infected, it had to go. Didn't slow him down one bit! View all posts by ahvuhbuh
