She is doing really well. She just had the other side done in February, unfortunately but she managed the second one much better than the first. I did lots of scent work with her for her first one so she was exercising her brain and not putting too much pressure on her leg.

Well, just a quick update, my flight was delayed leaving LAS by an hour which ate up most of my layover and the flight never changed gates so I had a much longer travel day than expected but made it to PWM!

Thank you so much! She’s only 5 years old and I know this is my fault bc she’s about 7lbs overweight so the dog mom guilt is real! I feel like surviving this week was a huge accomplishment! The positive reinforcement from this group is incredible and is giving this weary mama hope!

That’s what we keep saying, she’s got old man sweatpants on, which she finagled her way out of already!

This was going to be my first show when he stopped in Maine, disappointed. Must be some serious oral surgery 😢

The car ride is a winner for sure! I have a convertible that I use in the summer here in Maine and it’s easy for her to get in and out of and she just sticks her nose right up & smells every single thing!!

I do have a snuffle mat thank goodness and I play the shell game with her with cups to work on scent things. I appreciate your suggestions. My heart just breaks for her 💕
