Tiger is Up and Around

I know everyone has been wanting to see pictures of Tiger standing up. Rest assured he's up and getting around just fine. I'm quite pleased with how easily he's adjusted to only three legs. I suppose a lot of it has to do with the fact he had been favoring his fourth leg so heavily in the past weeks.

There are only two things he seems to have a hard time with. The first is jumping on the bed. He can't quite balance on the back leg to feel comfortable jumping on the bed. But after a couple false starts, he makes it up. That is a great sign because it's been weeks since he even attempted to get on the bed. The second thing he has a hard time with is shaking all over. You know how dogs shake after a bath? Well, he does that sometimes as part of his stretching ritual. Right now he doesn't have quite enough balance to shake as hard as he used to. I'm sure that as his back leg strengthens he'll be back to normal in no time.

It's been a great weekend because Tiger is doing so well. The whole family is happy to seem him back to his (almost) normal self. I feel confident that I made the right choice about the surgery and feel blessed to have every day with him! Now I'm really looking forward to moving to Arizona since Tiger can come with me and enjoy it. We leave on Saturday.
