Hello all,
Last week I took Girlie to the Vet to have her sutures out. Left her there for about an hour and a half. They were very happy to see her again and funny as, she led the vet nurse into the op room.
I went off to take care of other things and returned. Out she came looking pleased and happy. Sutures removed. The doc and nurses said farewell and out we went into the car and drove home.
At home she was dutifully welcomed by the others and cat. It was like she knew that was her last visit and away she played with her ball and squeaky toy. Lots of fetch and a long walk with the mob.
During the week she seemed a little depressed at times, very quiet and off her food but picked up again.
Today sees her negotiating most obstacles and we spent time in the sun playing fetch and catch while I was working. Some pics for you all. It was like she had never lost her leg. Leaping off the ground to catch the ball.
Keeping her eye on the ball.
Then a rest tonight with her mate, "Girlie Girl on the lounge near the fire.
Hope you like the pics. She went for a swim in the dam today as well. I will post pics of her leaping in the water tomorrow evening.
Thanks everyone for your interest and support.
Kind regards,
Bally

You better run!

Thank you so much for sharing.
My great grandmother's leg was amputated below the knee. She said the oddest thing about it was that she could still feel it, like it was never removed.
Girlie will do just fine.
I call my Tamar girlie-girl, when she us being her sweet self. When she is being her usual self, we all call her daughter of Satan.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.

Very happy to see her enjoying life again.

Yeah, it's an education to me and healing for us both. She is running as if she still had 4 legs.
Kind regards,

You were right. And I will make sure she enjoys life from now on.

We are all happy for her. No more pain although I was a bit worried at first to see her leaping one legged off the ground to catch the ball but doesn't seem to worry her.
Cheers,

So good to see! She is looking great!
I love watching my Dog (Eli) sleep, there is nothing more peaceful and cute!

Yeah two of my monsters went swimming in the pond today. After running off through the woods and visiting my neighbor, that brought them back.
All bets are off when those pesky rabbits are out and teasing them. Even though they never need much of an excuse to go for a good run.
Girlie is a good girl. She would never do the things my devil spawn Husky brats do. Maybe when they get older they will mellow out and calm down.
I can wish, can't I?

I agree, If they sleep without a worry in the world they look sound. In the morning we are always greeted by wagging tails and the meow of 'Cat' who wants a feed. But when they are all together 4 dogs and 'Cat' on the lounges near the hearth in the evening, its a peaceful setting.
Nice to see them relax.
Kind regards,
Bally:)

Prolly wouldn't be about like that if the vet had left her leg.
She looks absolutely ferocious!! What a great recovery!!
You take good pictures, Bally. :-)
