It seems almost impossible to think that Io has only been a Tripawd for 25 days – seems like we have been going through this together for such a long time now.
However he is still doing really well . He is being very lucky in having almost no side effects from the Chemo apart from the odd funny tum and continues to adapt to life on three legs – he even seems intent on proving me wrong when I told him he would have to pee like a lady from now on and is perfecting his leg cocking balance !.
We have gradually been increasing his time out and he is building up his stamina, out today he even met a 6 month old labrador pup called jasper who wanted to play, play, play like they do. Io decided there was no way he was letting him down and shot off with him – he managed a couple of circles chasing after Jasper at speed before face planting into the dirt !!.
Took a bit of video of him today (not the Jasper part as I was stood frozen in a mixture of terror and awe as Io decided only having 3 legs is not going to stop him playing).
Quick clip of Io out and about today –> IO

What a majestic, stunning dog. I’m awed by how Io moves with such ease and grace. Amazing. Thank you for sharing that clip.
Thanks for the update! 🙂
