Going to the Vet

Well, yesterday and today, we had some firsts, or by to normalcy.  Yesterday, Maggie spent a lot of time outside  going number 2, a lot of number 2s. and just making sure the world Maggie is back.  She barked at the neighbor and the a dog in the adjacent yard.  That’s terrific.  Today, when I said, Maggie let’s go, she ‘jumped’ out of the bed, then without any commands, she took off down the stairs to the first floor.  She started a little slow, but she took off, just like normal.  WOW!!  I didn’t have to say a word, then she went to the back door, then out to the back yard.  Maggie did her business, came back inside, ate and drank, then wanted to spend some more time outside.  She’s spending more time, standing up, just looking around.

Maggie has an appointment with the vet today.  Hopefully he will be pleased with Maggie’s recovery.  It’s going to be interesting to see the reaction of Maggie going into the vet’s office.  I’ll take some pictures.

I need to look into buying a harness for Maggie.  I’m looking into the Ruff Wear harness.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

thanks,  Marion

I'm Maggie's caretaker, while her family is in England. She's a seasoned senior (11 years old) golden retriever. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and had her left front leg amputated on 25 Feb 2014. She is in recovery mode right now, She's a wonderful and affectionate dog.
