Skipper and Othello - One Year On!

Its hard to believe a whole year has passed since our little lad came home with his new friend Skipper!  Othello took his adventures in his stride and recovered quickly.  It took Skipper a little longer, but I am pleased to report he is doing really well!  Skipper will always have hind end issues, but he is happy and healthy and enjoying life:)

Ben Update - The Best Christmas Present:)

Our little man has been through more than anyone should ever have to go through and the past few days have been no exception.  A routine check up on Friday turned into a 3 hour major surgery to amputate Ben's broken leg.  Despite being on antibiotics and regular vet check ups, he had developed a serious bone infection and this was his only hope.

I am pleased to report that Ben not only made it through the surgery, but is recovering much better than we dared hope for!  Ben is adapting well to having only 3 legs and is able to move around remarkably well - so well I nearly couldn't catch him last night:)  He is eating and drinking well too.

We would like to thank our amazing vet and all of the incredibly kind people who have donated to his surgery costs - words cannot do justice to our appreciation for your support, but THANK YOU:)

Ben is currently wearing a very stylish cone over his head and declined to be photographed for today's blog!  Once he is feeling better, I will post some new photos.

                                           Merry Christmas and Thank You from Ben:)
