First Major Snowstorm

 

Today is our first major snowstorm here in Northern Maine.  This is my first trail in the snow.  My Mom wanted to show everyone what a 3 legged dog trail looks like 🙂  Unfortunately, when I got to the bank I fell face first ;-(  I was trying to do my usual jump over the snow bank but I just can’t be as “agile” as I once was with four legs.  Hurt my pride more than anything.  My Mom brushed my face off and my belly and told me it’s “it’s OK Maggie”.

Hello World!

Hi There! My Mom has decided to blog my ‘life and times’ as a three legged dog. I had surgery for soft tissue sarcoma removing my left rear leg on October 20, 2009. I went off my food on Oct 25th and had a low grade fever for two weeks. My Mom tried many things to get me to eat…she tried really hard and kept feeding me by hand – one little piece at a time. Those two weeks were very trying for both her and I. We were both so very scared. What was going on? No one could give us any answers. Finally, my fever broke and I started to eat again on my own! Man, was I ever happy about that and Mom was too! I have been eating nonstop since!
