Today is exactly 1 month since Jake had his amputation surgery. He is doing pretty well, although he still seems to tire easily.
We went swimming today… trying out Jake’s new float coat… He was having a great time! It really helped him balance while he was swimming.
So now he’s just taking a little break from swimming… and looking to see what Wolfie is doing…
Here are a couple of videos of him swimming with his new K9 float coat!
Jake you are an awsome swimmer! That is the perfect exercise to aid in your full recovery. Hard to believe you had your surgery only one month ago! The videos are great – you have fantastic pawrents that love you so much. You are a lucky lucky dog indeed!
I like your yellow ball with legs – I get why it is hard for you to give it up. Sometimes Solo doesn’t like to give up the special toys either. Solo got another new stuffed animal last night – a pretty little lamb that fits ever so nicely into her chops! A good distraction from her licking. I made me a cover out of an old t- shirt – we call it her zoot suit. She has to wear it when we go out to prevent licking of that incision! It works great even though I think she finds kind of embarrasing to wear!

Looking good!! I like the float vest. Polo gets tired very easy as well. I guess they need time to get back in shape. The swimming should be excellent therapy!!! Polo had his stitches removed last week and we had a good day today. We went to a local “Dog Daze” event—he had a big time, now he’s pooped.
I need to update the blog… Jake is looking good.

Awesome with the vest! Great pix-and good job swimming!
HAPPY AMPUVERSARY, HAPPY AMPUVERSARY, HAPPY AMPUVERSARY,
Love the pics of Jake swimming! It’s very comforting for someone like Bandit and I to watch the videos and look at the pictures of all the dogs on the Tripawds site…just to reassure us that it can be okay. Thanks for putting a smile on my face today: ) Hope he continues to thrive forward!
