Hi My name is Murphy,I am a 7 year old Rottweiler and I have just been diagnosed with Osteo Sarcoma.This is my battle,I hope by reading my story I will be able to help you and your best mate through a very tough time. My family and I decided after consults with my Vet Matt and my mums many many hours of reasearch that I would have my left hind leg amputated.this happened last tuesday 28th April,I had no problem with this as to me it was just a great relief to have the pain taken away. I couldnt walk on my leg as it was too sore, It was hard for mum and Dad to make the final decision I know Dad wanted to make it all easy for me and put me to sleep, as he thought taking my leg off would be really awful for me,I can understand this I was a little afraid but Mum and my brother Nick 9hes only got 2 legs)read heaps about tripaws and how well we cope,and Mum read a really beautiful quote,"Dogs are born with 3 legs and an extra one",so we finally decided that I was going to be OK on 3 legs,and you know what I AM!!!!!!.The day after surgery I bounded out of the Vets,I just wanted to be home.I slip and I stumble but I am getting there,I just have to learn to balance my weight,my reducing weight, I have lost 15kgs and all this before i found out about the cancer, on 3 rather than 4 legs.
I love scouring the net for precious finds...this little spot is like a marvelous box of treasures that I can retreat to and look over and add too when I find something wonderful that takes my eye and makes me happy...I will be opening a store very soon keep a watch as I post the items I will be selling in the Store funnily enough to be called LUXE AVENUE, as they arrive from my buying trip to the USA.
