update on Huck


Welcome back, Big Boy!


Huck is doing amazingly well!!!
You can see above how he's learning to make 3 legs work...
He centers his front leg so that he can balance.

The initial recovery was rough.
Not gonna lie.

Now we're 2 weeks post-op and he's a rock star.

(He's sporting a homemade sash to cover up his incision 
and keep him warm until his fur grows back...)
He's having lots of fun!
He's been greeting clients at the door...
going for joy rides in the car...
(I even got a surprise visit at school yesterday!)
 He's been paying visits to the chicken coop!
He loooooves it in there!
We have to watch him carefully, though, 
because while he's not as fast as he used to be,
he can still really bolt and take off.

The chickens are used to Clara who would never chase or hurt them, 
so they're more trusting of him than they should be!

He's been having a great time exploring.
He's a real adventurer at heart.

 He seems really happy!
He forgot all about that bad leg.

Like they say on the tripawd website,
"It's better to hop on 3 legs than limp on 4...!"

 
 Huck is hopping all over the place.
We're so glad to have him back in action.

Cancer sucks, but life doesn't have to.
He's going to enjoy every day that he gets...
and we sure hope he gets a lot.

Three cheers for Huckie!
Hop Hop Hoooray!!!
