Pebbles update

Booktigger · 10-09-2006, 10:05 AM

IT has been 15 and a half weeks since PEbbles had her leg amputated, and I thought it was time to post some pics. She had a wonderful afternoon in the sun yesterday. She sometimes struggles with the bed, so no chance of my new bed anytime soon!! And she has adapted to scratching the doormat (they are allowed to scratch it, my fault for buying it in a material that would be irresistible to them - but they are good at not scratching the carpet next to it!!), by lying to do it. She sometimes goes to do something, misjudges and ends up lying there as if to say 'I really wanted to do that, you know'. I dont often notice the lack of leg, and do sometimes feel sorry for her if I do, but she seems happy, although she has started biting again for no reason.

I am glad Pebbles enjoyed her day in the sun. It must take a lot of adjustment to get used to not having a leg where it used to be. Glad she is managing quite well.

And the photos are lovely x

i dont think it has taken a lot of adjustment for her - the vet said it could take up to 6 months, but she was outside days after her stitches came out - a day later than she wanted, but I wanted to be sure she could manage in the house first, so when she proved she could manage the stairs and the bed, there was no reason to keep her in really. And she can run incredibly fast, I sometimes have to give up trying to catch her, as i cant keep up!!

I'm sure she will continue to improve. She's looking good!

I'm delighted Pebbles is adapting to being a tripod

She really is a little sweetie and looks to be having a great time basking in the sunlight!

Awww, bless her, she does seem to have adapted well & is out enjoying the sunshine!!

She certainly looks great, and if you hadn't said in your post about her losing her leg, I wouldn't have noticed. She's gorgeous and a lot like Katey's mum. i like the idea about the door mat too. Will have to try and find one as thats a great idea
