Warning to those that aren’t as familiar with tri-pawed recovery, It isn’t always the typical case for all dogs this is just my personal expierence with learning to walk again!
Maybe my years of wisdom helped me out! Im not old Im just full of wisdom… 11 years will do that to you!!!! yes I am 11!!! Almost 12. My birthday is in december!!!
Hope You all find this as amazing as We do 🙂 Never thought it possible a week ago! I will keep you all updated and informed on my progress…
Its day four and so far so good! KEEP ON PAW-RAYING for my speedy recovery!
This isnt easy but i think I can get used to it! Someone once told me,
“It’s better to Hop on three than Limp on four!” (very true)
Love always mary the big red DOG!!!
mary, you are a star!!! such a wonderful video (we wonder, could they have parked any farther away from the vet office?? geesh, you really had a trek…). you are doing so well getting up and about, and in and out. keep up the good work, and don’t forget to keep taking medicinal naps to aid in healing!!

Lol… It was a 45 min to the vet and she had to do her business… There was a nice piece of real-estate out yonder!!! Plus we weren’t in a huge hurry to drop her off 😉 I started the video after the big deposit. But that made us all laugh. Thinking about it now it was a little on the far end of the lot!!! Thank you so much for following her progress 😉 you all give us so much hope and inspiration everyday.
Love Mary the big red dog
She’s looking great! I remember some of that, especially the hard work that it was. Having to pause and pant, pause and pant. But that gets better, and she’s certainly amazing, isn’t she? And her limp was really obvious, so you know you got rid of the pain. That’s what matters to Mary.
Shari
Whew… Thats a relief we were wondering about that… She is trying Sooooo hard… She’s barely even stumbled ( only when she’s getting into her bed) I was expecting the exhaustion, but we were struggling with the decision to amputate because of her age. Thank you for your ins-paw-rational words, they really are comforting 😉
Love Mary The big red dog 😉
Mary is simply precious. And in some ways very very lucky. After all, it’s obvious how much she is loved. I remember how amazed I was when my 150lb boy Fortis got up and wanted to go outside only two hours after his surgery. Dogs are amazing and us humans can only pretend! I’m so glad your Mary’s surgery was a success. I look forward to hearing all about her life on 3. Wishing you all the best.
Brett and Spirit Fortis
We just read your story and took lots of time viewing the beautiful photos of fortis. what a larger than life character! you could see his personality in your photos! You could feel the love in your words and see his love In his eyes 😉 Your story is an inspiration to us as we begin this battle.
God bless your family,
Mary’s mommy and daddy 😉
I loved the video and the music ~ it was very inspiring for all to see! Mary is doing awesome!
My Indiana also had his front left limb removed and he got up right after surgery to do his business & everyone at the hospital was in awe with him. Our tripawds adjust so well – they are amazing – Mary is amazing!! May you have many , many wonderful moments with her!! I was blessed to have had my Indy for 17 months after being diagnosed ~ such a miracle he was!! Take pictures and more videos & embrace her with everything you have! Love her like there is no tomorrow!!!
Love from Indian’s mom ~ Carol~~
Mary, you are awesome! You are making a remarkable recovery and REALLY getting around well. Your video will give a lot of hope to families that are contemplating amputation as well as people whose dog has just undergone the surgery.
I hope to see many more videos of Mary the Wonderdog!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read her story 🙂 we hope that her progress continues 🙂 we are gonna keep updating her progress with pictures and video, and we love hearing from all the other tripawd parents. What a blessing to be able to connect with other people who have already been here.
Thank you again and warm wishes,
Mary the big red dog and her peeps 😉
Mary, wishing you well during your recovery! I can’t wait to read about your adventures on three legs! Be warned: many, many people will want to pet and love on you, and you’ll probably be getting a lot of extra treats also! No one can resist a Tripawd, especially one as pretty as you!
Thank you 😉 we are gonna give her Lots of healthy treats boiled chicken and carrots… Mary loves carrots 😉 we want to get some weight off of her to help her get around a little easier, but not untill she is fully recovered 😉 we loved seeing your pictures, especially the ones from the road trip. Our favorite is the shot of him on the beach from a low angle! What a stud!
Big wet kisses from,
Mary the big red dog 😉
Way to go Mary! Hope her recovery continues to go well. Our pups are indeed truly amazing!
All the best,
Jackie, Abby’s mom
