TwiggysMom Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Aww, she is looking so good and happy! I would keep an eye on the red area though - I can't remember whether she is still on abx...

MP_the4pack Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 I took the girls for a walk at the D&R canal in Lambertville yesterday. it's nice and flat. And has a good distance marker (A bridge) to go to and turn around. We walked all the way there then stopped at the bridge, watching the river underneath, greeting a few people that passed by and listened to the ooo's and aaaah's for the "pretty girls in their Christmas collars". Then we turned around to go back to the car. While this is not a fenced in area, it's actually pretty good to let dogs off leash safely. They'd have to run a mile in order to get off the path which has the river on one side and the canal on the other. So I took Tanzi off leash to let her go at her own pace and so the leash clip wouldn't constantly hit her in the face as she hopped. I was trying to judge her tiredness by how well she kept up and thought the distance to the bridge and back was 'just right". Well, we're heading back to the crossing over the canal that leads to the parking lot and instead of turning right over that, Tanzi barreled straight ahead. She wanted nothing to do with ending her walk too early. Straight ahead was just a continuation of the canal path that also would go for miles before another canal crossing. So I wasn't worried about losing her. Just chasing her!!! Luckily, I was able to catch up to this new tripod when she stopped to sniff some pee-mail. There is no stopping this girl. And I was so worried about her being able to adjust. Boy did she prove me wrong. She's shoving me out of the way and saying "Out of the way Mom, I got a lot of living to do!"

MP_the4pack Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 She had her first chemo Fri and even though they put her on anti nausea drugs she has shown no side effects. Our next chemo is Dec 30. I think I'll still get a wagon as she just wants to keep going and going. So I should have a wagon when she realizes she over did it.

You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiggysMom Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I think getting her used to a wagon as soon as possible is a great idea. Tanzi is an independent girl, & probably resistant to such things. From my experience, now is the best possible time to train her to use a wagon or stroller. I wish I had the foresight to do that with Twiggy years ago.

MP_the4pack Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 Tanzi does allow me to pull her around the house on her bed. (I have wood floors) So I'm hoping I can tire her out enough to put her in the wagon on a bed and pull her around. That Twit, by the way, went down the basement stairs! I had planned to do that when I thought she had built up enough muscle in her front leg and was really used to being a tripod. But she had different plans. I heard a thump, thump, thump and saw her standing on the landing. She didn't fall, but it was not a graceful descent. I had to help her back up.
