Walkies in shifts

Reading time: 5 mins

Since Bruno had his amputation we do our walkies in shifts. Todays post shows you what I got upto on my walk and what Bruno got upto on his walk.

The sky was big and the sun was just rising

The birds were hanging out and getting ready for the sun to arrive

Then it was Brunos turn.

Look how fast Bruno can go now, 3 weeks after amputation!

I waited at the gate for Bruno to come back from his walk

pat anderson: Love the cuddling pic - so cute . Bruno is doing so well , guess he is like the rest of us though could do with it cooling down a bit :-) Khumbu go catch the pigeon !!!!

Tyler Huskamute: That last pic is priceless :) Much love to Bruno and sending many huskamute and terrier healing vibes ~~~ - Tyler and Lil Dez (Ps - darn pigeons…you’ll get them next time Khumbu!)

KB: Thank you so much for your support over at my blog. It is good to see how well Bruno did after his amputation. Like you, we live in challenging terrain with little flat ground and no paved sidewalks (just dirt trails). I have hope that K will learn to negotiate these things from reading about Bruno. Unfortunately, we also have several feet of snow (less than a meter but probably 2/3 of a meter) on the ground. That will make it tougher for her right after the amputation, if it occurs. I’m so sorry that Bruno passed away in October. I’m glad that you gave him those pain-free months. As I ponder the best thing to do for K, I keep wondering if she really wants to go through an amputation just to gain a few months. My guess is that she probably does want to… It looked like Bruno was a very happy dog for his time post-amputation. Thanks again for reaching out and for your support. Tomorrow is our day with the oncologists and surgeons, and K may have her front leg amputated then.

Balto: Hey Bruno and Khumbu…..Balto here, I wish I could come walkies with you guys, it looks fab! and can I just squeeze into that cuddle, I like me some cuddles, too! love you guys! Big Balto… WoOoOoF!
