Well all that worrying and as of yesterday Louie is back to his normal self! He is eating his dog food both breakfast and dinner and all snacks and is full of energy again! Whenever I let him out to potty he loves to sit at the fence and bark at all the people passing by. His job after all has always been and always will be to guard me, the house,the grass,the car,etc,etc 🙂  It is funny how he has developed a new game. When I call him to come inside he ignores me and I have to walk outside to find him. He is never far, but when I call him again he will roll over on his back 3 feet in the air and not budge. When I walk over to him ,his tail is going a mile a minute but he just won’t move. It has developed into a special game between us two 🙂  Me saying in my devious voice….I’m gonna get you Louie, while I creep over and him wagging his tail faster as I get closer.Then when I reach him I have to rub his belly and grab his front paw and bribe him to come inside with promises of cookies and toys……finally him jumping up and hopping ahead of me up the ramp and into the house! It is really a pain when I am in a hurry to get somewhere, but it seems so important to him somehow,that I can’t help but play along. Maybe I will get a video of it soon.

As usual, the visual of Louie has me grinning ear to ear! Isn’t hilarious how our tripawds can retrain us to slow down and enjoy every sacred second with them! What was a little “annoyance” in the past, is blissfully cute now!!
Yes! We MUST have video!!! MUST! This will be a smile making treasure forever!
Louie’s progress just warms my heart. Yes, big dogs CAN master being a tripawd and recovery is done at a big dog’s slower pace.
I’m so glad you are keeping these updates coming. Today’s update .akes me soooooooooooo happy! The bumps in the road, the ups, the downs, and most importantly the continuing UPS are so helpful for anyone on this journey…especially the big boys and girls!!
Gonna’ be watching for that video!
Smooch that big mug for me!!!
LOVE!
