I am thankful. I got a clean bill of health from the vet here at Safe Harbor Animal Farm. My people and I have been helping out the rescue animals here. We partied away last night. My Dad made me a hamburger cake. Ground beef with all of the fixings, veggies and supplements mixed in, with cottage cheese in the middle. Yuuuuuum!

A year ago the U.C. Davis vet said I might be good for 3 or 4 months. Now look at me! Must be all that great food my Mom feeds me. That, and all of the exciting travel adventures we’ve been having lately.

I am really sad to tell you that Lefty went over the rainbow bridge this past week. Her foster mom told us that she had serious complications after her amputation surgery.

She started to drastically deteriorate during her second week with us. First her back right leg gave way and was soon useless; then after a few days her other leg was shot. Eventually, she couldn’t stand, sit up to eat, and began to pee/poop less frequently since she couldn’t prop herself up. It was very sad. We think no one really knows what went wrong.

Dog Moms and Dads, please don’t let this scare you, because in the one year since my Dad made this website, we have not heard of this happening before. We aren’t vets, but it seems that complication like this are very rare. But, my Mom and Dad thought that you should know about it to keep an eye out out for things like this after surgery.

Our hearts go out to Lefty and her foster parents in Philly.
