Stitches removed

Well, Tara went to the vet on August 10th to get her stitches removed. It is quite traumatic for her to go to the vet. She had a visit a couple of weeks ago to get some new stitches as he had licked open an area of skin so it wouldn't heal. She is now walking well on her two front legs and even tries to run. She is still quite tender and sore so I have to be careful to not go on looks alone and continue to consider the time it takes to heal for such a severe injury.

Little Tara

I recently moved from Oregon to Minnesota and my little dog Tara got caught in some sort of a trap or something (haven't found out exactly where accident occurred yet) and had to have both her back legs amputated on 07/20/09. Tara is only one and a half years old and weighs 13 lbs. Many people I know have stated "how could you do that to her?" and "wouldn't it be easier to put her to sleep?" She is the happiest little dog in the world and I couldn’t bear to put her to sleep just because her back legs are missing. She is my little ray of sunshine.
