It is with great sadness that we have to report that we have just had to have Io put to sleep. Not exactly sure what happened but he started limping last week and yelped a couple of times when he took a step. He had a fall when out on a walk and our vets …

Update on Io
It has been too long since we updated the blog, mainly because we (happily I suppose !) have almost nothing to report 🙂 . Io is still going well and we have almost started to live in a relaxed state as Tripawd owners !!. He went to the vets last week to have a check …
Coming up for 6 months
Update time as we approach the 6 month mark !. In all honesty we haven’t got too much to report, Io is still doing well and we have all now settled down to life with a Tripawd. The only real “problem” we have had was just how much we let him return to his old …
Latest from Io
Time for an update as it has been too long (we have been taking a bit of a break after the last few traumatic months 🙂 ). Io had his last chemo treatment a couple of weeks ago and so now that is the end of the scheduled trips to the vets !!. We had …
quick update
Sorry for the big gap, we’ve had phone and internet problems which have made trying to post anything impossible. Anyway, Io had his third lot of chemo on 22nd February. He wasn’t keen this time which is disappointing because everyone there is lovely and really makes a big effort. We think it might be because …
Update Time
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 …
chemo round 2
Io had his second lot of chemo today. Last time he lay there calmly and was a very good boy. This time he decided to wander off part way through and pulled the catheter out. Ooops, I’ll take him for a longer walk before the next one! One of the nurses took some pics of …
25 Days On
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 …
Io’s dark secret
Now that we very much feel we are among friends it is perhaps time to reveal the story (or dark secret) of Io’s kennel name. Before going on with this tail I feel I should explain a little about my good wife, Mitch. She has a love of most things gothic,celtic and mediavel and this was …
another milestone :-)
earlier on today Io picked up a chewbone but couldn’t decide how to chew it-several minutes of being stared at from under his eyebrows and then he wandered off. Just now he picked it up again and managed to give it a chew-after he’d kicked it single pawed round the room a bit to show …
