Glad Albi is doing so well.

 

If you haven't, you should look into these harnesses Ruff Wear Webmaster Harness

 

It was really helpful with Dude when he first came home and started doing things that scared the pee out of us - like going upstairs! Never underestimate the power of motivation! I have my heart in my throat every time he does go up and down, but he LOVES to sleep with us on the bed and he WANTS to, so he found a way to make it work. We wouldn't even let him try for about 4 weeks after, then one day I left the gate down by mistake and UP he went! He was so proud of himself! The harness helped us a lot when he wanted to go up but didn't quite have the mojo working.

 

Good thoughts for Albi! You go guy!

That's nice! Plus, there's the harness made by God's Greyts specifically for helping lift or assist greyhounds.

I'm so glad Albi is doing so well now! I just talked to a friend who's grey is hitting his 2 year post-amp anniversary and going STRONG. :D Now that you're over the hardest part, it'll just get better and better. Kisses to Albi, and hugs to you!

If he's gained 3 pounds since last recorded weight, he must be eating pretty well? That's great. How does his mood seem to be in general? Sending hugs.

No more cone, yay!!!

 

Amazing how it's just over a month since his world turned inside out. It must seem like much, much longer to all of you.

He looks like he's feeling a bit better! Sending healing thoughts Albi's way, and strenghtening ones for you and your husband. I can't imagine how hard this whole ordeal has been. He's lucky to have you!!

Awwwww... He is so beautiful. I am glad to hear he's eating and starting to heal better. He looks so cute in his tshirt. What a sweet boy.

Nancy, thanks for the update. It sounds like the MRSA really took a lot out of him. I will keep Albi in my prayers as he rebuilds his strength.
