A Good Day
Comments(6) Let me just start by saying that I am VERY proud of my Boagey! Last night when my husband got home he got Boagey up and got him outside and he went down the stairs to our porch and out to the driveway all by himself without any help from us only us there beside him to catch him if he fell. He done this again last night and this morning about 5am. He also got back on the couch for the first time since his surgery by himself, but i knew he wouldn’t stay off the couch long and that it was only a matter of time. LOL. Then this morning i made a quick trip to McDonalds to get us all some breakfast (Boagey included because he is still on strike from dogfood) and when i got home he was out in the yard all by himself! I asked my husband and he said that he got up all on his own and when he opened the door and went to help him out that he just hopped out and down the stairs before he could get his shoes on, so he said he watched him for a few minutes and he seemed to have the hang of it. I was so proud. Even though he has been able to navigate the stairs pretty well we still built a ramp for the front of our porch, it probably looks a little silly it even has carpet on it, but it helps him get down into the yard easier. The only trouble he has ran into today was getting tired which was to be expected and once he got on the couch and he laid on the side of the amputation which caused some problems and i think hurt his self-esteem, but we helped him off and everything was okay after that. I hope to continue to have only good days but i know that there will probably be a few bad too, i just hope they are few and far between. I have also found that i look forward to getting on here and sharing our story, it is so comforting to get on here in the evenings and read all the positive things and well wishes from so many that have been in my place. It is nice to know that we are not alone in this journey. Thank you all again and I’ll keep you posted on our progress.
See? Boagey’s gonna do just fine. After her surgery, Ruthie scared the crap out of me more than a few times with the things she did while my back was turned. And McDonalds? well I think Boagey completely deserves it! It sounds like you got your smile back. I’m glad!

Boagey’s a real trooper isn’t he!!! See how quickly they adapt – much better than us people. Every day you’ll be amazed by something new. So glad to hear that things are going well. Mmmmmmm McDonalds, Tai still loves their cheeseburgers even though I won’t give her the bun anymore (I’m such a meanie lol).

Heya Boagey!
Sorry to hear about your major ou-wee! Those darned amputations really hurt. But you sound like a real strong dude! I bet in no time you are going to be beboppin’ everywhere!
Get well my friend -in the meantime…I’ll be doing my happy-hoppy dance. When you are up to it, you can join me! Get the Lady Gaga music ready!

Howdy, be prepared to be constantly amazed by Boagey. Shelby has lived with us for a year now and I still get blown away by what I see her do.
