What we did was this:
In her first month, when she couldn't be on ground outside of our yard, I invited people over. All sorts of people. Old people, young people, toddlers, babies. People with...

Welcome! He's adorable! I love him!
I would second others here, in that I would not play with him after evening potty breaks. We would pick Hoku up, carry her downstairs, collar / leash on,...
Happy birthday Nikki!
Well, she had her final PT / hydrotherapy appointment today. She'd actually already "graduated" from her 8 week run, but my husband bought an extra two sessions "just to be safe" (and because he's...
So glad to hear it!
The protein in Orijen is very high (higher than a raw food die), which I've wondered about.
Hoku's weight loss PO was primarily from cutting back the food.
She did lose some muscle in the...
So glad to hear that the limp is gone! May it remain ever thus gone!
I'd like more explanation in re "seizes up." At first it sounds like the dog is stiff or goes lame, but the second usage ("seizure") sounds ... like a seizure, not like lameness or injury.

We have one for Hoku—it's fantastic. I found it very comfortable when she was recovering from surgery (she preferred her old flat bed under the table).
She does use it, and it is great. It's...
So, yes, that looks like a classic CCL tear. I'm sorry to hear it—our girl tore hers on Dec 16th of last year. She had surgery on the 23rd. We have just completed our 11th week Post-Op from a TPLO...
I love it!
He's gorgeous!
Well, today was the day. Hoku went in for her all-day post-op check-up: physical exam, x-rays on the TPLO knee, Physical Therapy.
The surgeon just called—her bone is entirely healed—more more...
Aw, Franny! I hope you feel better soon.
Sorry to hear it. I was a bit worried by your first post, having just gone through a tear / TPLO over here.
We are in our sixth week post op w/ Hoku. Lots of people here have had this...
Just got to this. Glad it sounds like it went well. Healing thoughts!
Not really a lot new to report.
She's doing a short (15 to 20 minute) walks a few times a day, Figure 8s, hill work, and sit-to-stand exercises. She's on hydrotherapy and PT at the surgeon's...
And just signed her up for 8 sessions of hydrotherapy and cold laser treatment. Forging ahead...
We're doing PT with her 3 to 4 times a day—figure 8s, and sit-stands. It is funny to watch her out back, and see how seriously she takes it. Comes in and is all WHOO HOO DID YOU SEE ME! and I'm all...
They match!
Wishes for a full and timely recovery!
Edit: just saw her post-op photo—she's looking good. Hoku was also very easy to keep calm after surgery, and on the surgeon's explicit recommendation we...
Trolling, I think. You and another person here. I blocked this person because of their trolling.
All goes well. The incision is fully healed, she's on 2X 5-10 minute walks a day, and we're moving forward w/ PT (and walks 3 to 4x / day).
The walks are close leash, very slow. Inside, she is...
I remember when you arrived here last year. He's grown into such a beautiful young man!
Best thoughts for an easy surgery and uneventful recovery!
