The point of diminishing returns

On Friday, December 16, Lady's leg was amputated. She had been going downhill fast and necrosis had set in. Some would say that we could've kept going, but the new wounds would have taken months to heal - with no guarantee that they - or the bone - would ever get back to 100%.

It was a very difficult decision, but seeing Lady walking around today vs. her struggles last week, she's eating, tail wagging and smiling again - I know that it was time to make that call. She'd been through enough in the past 8 months and it's time for her to get back to life being an active dog.

So, stay tuned for more on Lady's adventures as a tripod!
