Sam is coming along slowly. The leg started an infection under the plate we believe so have had a long road of rehab. She is into two months of it all, and starting to go a bit stir crazy. She is such a good dog, that she is used to being poked and prodded.
No one said it would be easy, but little did we know how hard this was going to be. In hind sight, taking the leg may have been the best choice, but since we are so far into this, we want to try. At least she is a tolerant dog that accepts her situation, and moves forward. What does this teach us as humans? Patience first....acceptance....living in the moment of situations and not looking beyond. What on earth must she think? What kind of psychological damage is the walk and crate doing for rehab of a limb that refuses to heal? I don't know the answer...just have to trust our vet which I do, and learn from Sam that Patience is the key to any situation like this, and know in the end we will all be better for it.
