Jake

Jake and Annie (Jake is the darker one)

1. Jake is a handsome boy!

I know you must be so relieved to have him *home* - :)

I don't know why I had imagined him as a black lab instead of a blonde. :shrug:

How is he getting around? Does he seem happier now? Has Annie reacted to him at all differently since his surgery?

[cry baby]

2. He's getting around really well. He slips on the wood floor a little,

but he rights himself and goes on with it. Annie wants to play really bad - she is restless - so we throw the ball to her and she chases it, but then Jake gets all excited and tries to get into the wrestling thing they used to do. We are still trying to keep him kind of quiet, but he is just so happy when he takes the ball from her (actually she lets him have it cause she is so sweet)...we let them play a little. She seemed a little shy of him for the first couple of days, but things are back to normal with them.

3. It sounds like everything is going as well as they possibly could --

Maybe Annie was being a litte quiet around Jake for the first couple of days because she sensed he need a little quiet? Getting comfortable moving around again in his beloved home...

Thanks for posting the pics! Give Jake and Annie a scratch behind the ears for me -- :)

4. Bless his big doggie heart!

What beautiful dogs!!! Sounds like things are going well.

:hug:

[cry baby]

6. I'm hoping for the best. For today, he's enjoying life! nt

5. Beautiful doggies

Glad that Jake is getting back to normal and is able to enjoy life again. Give them both some belly rubs from me.

[cry baby]

7. We laughed when we hit his ticklish spot...

he started moving his non-leg like dogs do when they are tickled! It was funny!

8. Awww! that's so sweet!

Isn't it nice that he has a loving family and a playful sister to keep him from worrying about that lost leg. I know he will do well and have a wonderful life regardless of his handicap.

You'll have a wonderful Christmas spoiling these beautiful dogs!!!! :hug:

[cry baby]

10. He does seem to be taking all this in stride.

Spoken like a proud mama.

9. Wow. Jake looks wonderful.!!!! I am so glad that he is home with those

he loves. I am sure that is the best thing for him. His sister is beautiful. He appears to be pretty comfortable, and adapting pretty well.
Please give them both a couple of extra ear scratches and belly rubs for me.
:hug:

11. Will do...gladly!

It is kind of remarkable that she is so dainty and girl-like, where Jake is much more masculine looking.

12. aw. lovely. I've known of a three legged dog named tripod. Also,.

I've seen dogs with two legs, one on each side, who can run like the wind. They are heroes to me, like your dog.

[cry baby]

16. I have seen a dog on tv with only 2 legs...

and I was aamazed at the agility he had. Amazing balance!

[superconnected]

13. I don't know if anyone said it on either of your threads yet

but thank you for not putting that beautiful dog down when you found out he had cancer, and then as soon as the vet told you they would need to remove his leg. So many people wouldn't take care of their dogs in extreme sickness.

Both Jake and Annie are super lucky to have you.

And, they look like awesome dogs.

[cry baby]

17. That thought never crossed my mind.

Thank you for the encouraging words. There will be a time that we have to make that decision for him, but for today (and hopefully many tomorrows), we are lucky to have both wonderful furbabies with us and they're happy.

14. Welcome home Jake! You gorgeous pooch you.

:P

What a lovely pair they make.

Here's to a speedy recovery Jake, make sure your people give you plenty of love and treats :)

[cry baby]

18. It just takes that "look"...we fork out the treats immediately.

They have us well trained!:7

15. Thanks for posting Jake and Annie's pictures

:hi: What beautiful labs. I just know that Jake's recovery period will be short with a loving family and Annie to help him.

[cry baby]

19. They are cute and really good natured dogs.

We love them very much. I just wanted Jake and Annie to be famous here in the pet forum of DU - I know they are Democrats at heart!

[BrklynLiberal]

20. Yellow Dog Democrats, of course!!!

[cry baby]

21. That one will make me smile the rest of the day!!!!!
