It's Better to Hop On Three Legs Than Limp on Four

 

Welcome to my lens. You may have found your way here while searching for ways to cope with your dog's bone cancer. Maybe you saw my Tripod Dog Videos on YouTube.

I want to show you that after the shock of your pal being diagnosed, after the surgery and the healing, you guys can be a fun pack again. There is life after dog bone cancer, I promise.

 My people have found an open discussion about my Canine Osteo Sarcoma, recent amputation, and finite prognosis to be quite therapeutic. I hope you find it helps you deal with it too.

There's nothing wrong with walking on only three paws. After all, people only have two! Remember your Schoolhouse Rock? Three , oh three, it's a magic number ... indeed.

Together with my people we make three. I complete them. Three represents creative power and Gestalt (when two things become more than the sum of their parts.) The sum of all human ability is three-fold, thought, word, and deed. There are three divisions of time, past, present and future. And most of all, It's better  to hop on three legs than to limp on four.



Come visit my Tripawds website after visiting my lens here: I play at my website more often, so stop by www.Tripawds.com and say hello there too!

Love, Jerry

Years ago I lost a female Golden at 8 years of age with bone cancer. Today I just received the sad news that my now female Golden of 10 years will have to have her hind leg removed due to either cancer or a very agressive tumor. I need help with finding something to help her walk, she needs the help with the one rear leg which has a bad knee. The harness seems to only be for the front support. Please, I can use all the help and support I can get. I am not going to give up on this "old girl" who has been my heart. Also wonder if there is some type of brace for her "bad" knee which will now have to bear all the weight. And why are Vets not very helpful with finding this type of support help? After all dogs are better than people. Thanks to any and all animal lovers.
