Good Morning!
Just a quick update after Domino’s first “official” night in the family! Everyone did great! Domino slept in his crate all night without a peep. All three of my puppers had a wonderful night. Here’s to many more to come!

I live in beautiful South Carolina with my 9 furbabies. Yes 9. I have 2 cats, a ferret, 3 rats, and 3 amazing dogs. An Australian Shepherd named Domino who had his front leg amputated after a car accident, a 14yr old border collie mix, and a 5 year old Anatolian Shepherd.
He’s home!
Surprise, I’m impatient. Domino has been doing so well today that we decided to bring him home two days early. He will still go to work with me tomorrow for a bandage change, but tomorrow night he’s home for good! The vet decided earlier today that Domino was progressing so well and in so little […]
Post op video!
Sorry it took so long, but here is the video from yesterday morning. http://youtu.be/IvXmzJBmSEE
Waiting
Domino is still at the clinic and continues to do great with his recovery! The hardest part now is the waiting. We originally thought he wouldn’t come home(for good) for about 2 weeks, because he’s still intact and the doctor didn’t want to neuter him at the same time as the amputation. So he’s scheduled […]
Doing Great
So, Domino is back at the vet clinic this morning for a little R and R. He did very well last night other than being restless most of the night. This morning when it was time to go out he did great! Fine on the hardwood floors, small stairs and grass. He’s taking this whole […]
4… Almost 5am Update…
Still up with Domino, got about an hour of sleep earlier. Dom woke me up a bit ago acting like he needed to go out again, and he did. I took him by myself, carried his to the yard. And according to him he didn’t need that stupid fourth leg anyway. He walked and hopped […]
Update…. at 1am!?
It’s late. Domino barely came out of surgery 11 hours ago. I was sound asleep in bed when this cold nose started nuzzling against my arm. It was Dom! Finally out of his pain med haze he leaned back and cuddled with me, just before asking to go out! I was skeptical about taking him […]
Post Op Update
Domino had his surgery this morning around 11am. It was a 2 1/2 hour surgery that removed his entire front left leg and shoulder blade. He woke up slowly and was very doped up on pain meds. With me being a vet tech, his doctor decided that I should bring him home for the night […]
Domino’s Beginning
Domino walked into the vet clinic where I work in bad shape. He was a 1 year old blue merle Australian Shepherd. And four weeks before had been hit by a truck. We examined and took radiographs, and the news wasn’t good. He had permanent nerve damage to his front left leg. His owners didn’t […]
