My 65lb beast, on the, other hand, is a total lap dog, as long as he
can have his back paws on the ground. (Unless it's lightening out,
then he wants all four paws up). Harry likes a good cuddle sometimes
and will get on the bed to get one, but Cash will crawl up in my lap
with almost no provocation at all.

My 65lb beast, on the, other hand, is a total lap dog, as long as he
can have his back paws on the ground. (Unless it's lightening out,

Puff, all 8 lbs. of him, will fly around my house barking at lightening and
thunder to make it go away. When it does stop he comes looking for me
quivering with excitement and prancing around with a hey mom, I chased all
that noise away for you look on his face. He's the least scared of storms
dog I've ever seen.
Aren't they amazing?

Harry is doing excellent! He joined Cash and Ziggy (friend's Belgian
Tervuren who is Cash's age) on our walk this morning. We cut it a
little short for him, but he was so happy to come along with us and he
just hop/walked right along with us. He's so clearly pain-free that
I'm glad we decided to take the leg off. 6 weeks today.

As I told you, he is not the first dog I have known who had it done
and they all seemed to just carry on and give no indication that it
was awful for them. One, a sort of Corgi/mix breed, was pretty swift
on three legs, inelegant, but swift lol Good for Harry.
