Max's Journey

Max came home with a pain patch on his left leg Friday with a date for it to be taken off and cleaned up today.  I’m not looking forward to doing this today especially since he’s still not back to his “happy go lucky” personality yet.  Max has never whined or complained about pain and […]

Dear Tripawds and your Pawrents… I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank every one of you that has taken the time to be there in support of Max and I through our journey into the world of Tripawd.  It has been a very scary ride, but I felt such a great sense of […]

Good morning everyone.  Max had a long day of begging for food yesterday…we BBQ’d (which we do rarely) so it was a big deal for him.  By the time it was bedtime, he crashed hard.  This morning, back to our regular routine outside then breakfast.  It rained here earlier and I’m not sure if it’s just […]

Well, I pretty much resolved myself to the fact that Max was not going to pee outside for me yesterday.  So, after i signed off for the day I said one more time and then its time for bed…of course never expecting anything but the same blank stare I’d gotten all day.  Fire hydrant…NO!  Tree…NO!  […]

I thought it would not happen…Max had been taken out numerous times and alas nothing.  So, I decided a shower was in order, so I brought Max into the bathroom and put a towel on the floor and there he sat while I showered.  Suddenly, I got the overwhelming smell of urine and peeked out of the shower […]

Hello Everyone, sorry I didn’t get back here yesterday, but it was a big day for Max and I.  I have to say I was beyond surprised by what I saw when the vet tech brought Max out.  She put him on the floor and he walked/hopped right over to me and headed directly for the […]

Good Morning Tripawd friends… The good Dr Johnson just called and said that Maxwell looks great today and he can go home!  I’ll keep you posted on how we did getting home! Lisa & Max

Just heard from the good Dr Johnson from AERA and she said Max is doing very well and is in his cage resting.  WHEW…at least that part is over, now to the business of healing.  

Hello everyone.  Today is Max’s big day.  I brought him this morning and it was so hard to let him go but I know that NO LEG means NO CANCER.  I’m waiting ANXIOUSLY for the call that he is out of surgery and doing spectacularly.  Since I couldn’t stay with him, I left him with […]

Hi, Max and I are new to the Tripawd community.   Max my 8 year old pug was diagnosed with Spindle Cell Sarcoma in his right hind leg just a few weeks ago.   This is where his journey begins.  Max will be going for his amputation surgery tomorrow 5/26/11 and I’m just a nervous wreck.  I […]
