will soon be 7 weeks past Io’s operation and things still seem to be going very well. In fact we are now at the stage where we are trying to untrain Io and Cobweb with regards to the “sympathy treats” as the situation now seems to have run out of control with both of them expecting a treat at any and every opportunity !.
Io is still going from strength to strength and it is a real joy to seem him now out and about as a Tripawd and enjoying his walks almost as he did before, obviously he can not manage hours like he did before and we are more careful of the terrain he is on (although he can’t see what he fuss is all about) but his stamina is quickly building. Today he met up with a pet walker and associated Dogs and had a massive play including some impressive 3 legged roughhousing !!
Out and about with Io it is quite amazing how many people do not realise he is actually missing a leg until they look closely, many think he is limping and some do not actually seem to notice initally at all until they see the big scar and no leg – LOL.
We also love to see the initial reaction of many of the other Dogs, They seem to come up to him and look at him with a “wow, you’re big” look but then peer round at where his scar and missing leg are and then do a double take followed by a quick look at this face, then another gawp at his missing leg, back to his face and a look of ” WOW – Where is your leg !!”.
He is back for the third round of Chemo next week and hopefully that will be as uneventful as the previous two.
Here is a video of him and about over the last couple of days
Io looks like he’s doing pawesome! Thanks for the great update.
He looks awesome!
Missing a leg?! Where?? All I saw was a really good-looking boy having a great time!! Io looks like a rock star!
Wow. Io is doing amazingly well! What a total stunner he is. Keep it up, big boy!
Three legged ruffhousing is the BEST! Keep on showing ’em Io, Tripawds rule!
Good luck with the chemo, I”m sure you’ll keep on doing great. A big kid like you can handle anything!
