She looks pretty good. How is she doing? X

Very well, really. We have to be a bit careful on the stairs, but she rarely slips now and doesn't seem to be in any pain.

I'm so pleased. Dogs are amazing.

That's good to hear :)

Chloe looks very like my childhood dog, colouring aside (he was white with brown patches), I should scan the photo of him I have at some point, he was a very handsome chap.

I'm glad to hear that Amber is doing so well, bless her.

And I agree with Chloe about the collies. Pip spends much of his time being told off by collies who disapprove of his frivolity, so someone has to redress the balance.

I'm so glad Amber's doing OK. Do you feel there's any chance of homing them both together?

[Sorry for the multiple comments - I'm a bit behind with LJ!]

You should! I would like to see him.

I really don't know if Chloe is disapproving of their frivolity or what! But I do feel that the cries of 'WOO' must stop, amusing though they are.

I'm hoping we can home them together. To be honest, I don't think Chloe would be too bothered as long as there was another dog for company, but Amber is such a nervy little soul that it would be very hard to send her off on her own.

I am pleased she has stood (sorry!) it so well.

The amputation looks to be healing very well and the phot makes it look like the dog isn't sufering balance problems which must be a real plus. I must admit the tail foxed me I thought it was a leg with the foot amputated until I worked out what the bare patch must be.

Mine HATE HATE HATE HATE collies with their stupid collie eyes and stupid collie stalking WOO WOO WOO WOO. When Sky and I used to do flyball, it was a great problem. So Chloe is certainly not alone in her prejudices.

Well done Amber at coping so well with multiple surgeries. She does look very content in those pictures.

[thecatsamuel.livejournal.com]

She's such a star. And she looks as though she is coping incredibly well.

I can see that a loathing of collie eyes would be something of a disadvantage in flyball... :-D

Amber is storming away as a tripawd. I struggle to remember that she's only recently had an op and therefore should not be allowed to overdo things!

Given what a huge operation it was, I'm *amazed* by how quickly she has come through it and how well she is doing.

Compared with Mollydog's leg operation which took about 9 months for her to get back to full fitness, Amber has come through incredibly well. Mongrels > greyhounds for recovery, I think!
