BoscoPiko Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I'm excited so I figured I would give a little update on my Abby girl. It's been a long half a year since her surgery with lots of highs and lows. She's an old gal so surgery was sketchy to begin with. Options were non existent seeing the tendon was severed, so surgery it was. She pulled through and got stronger with each day, started to stand and walk about quite well albeit with an orthopedic boot. She has adjusted to the boot very well which is a good thing as we recently learned that she will be in it permanently. They fixed the area that was severed but the rest of the tendon was stretched to badly to allow her to be without the boot for support. She is the goodest of good girls! Today she trusted herself to do her favorite thing of all with the boot on.. God is good! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 She's having a blast! Is that some manner of doggie life jacket she has on? If so, seems like a good idea for aiding with floatation for an older dog. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoscoPiko Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 It's just a "help um up" harness". She swam like back in the old days but you can see dad never left her side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Can see that dad was making sure to stay between her and the "deep end". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer1_NC Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I haven't followed this story from the beginning so forgive me. When I looked at the first picture, I thought "Abby doo"? Odd pet name for her S/O..... Then I saw the dog...... I'll just leave via the back door..... 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were both just so happy that she was finally willing to try. We've taken her to the lake several times since she was healed up but she wouldn't even get out of the car unless we made her and wouldn't touch the water We just went again today and she loved it! Our biggest goal is her remaining quality of life. She deserves a good ending as she has brought us so much happiness! I know you know what I mean @Shaun brearleybeings your a double dog dad 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
