Buddy is a Golden so he always has to be carrying something around in his mouth. When we come home he can’t just run to the gate like the other dogs to greet us. He has to pick up something to bring to us.
Even though he now has only 3 legs, Buddy still has to have his toys with him.
Buddy before this adventure when he had four legs – and a ball and duck in his mouthBuddy in his first days home not feeling so good but has his red stuffed doll next to him and the blue one on his bed behind him.

I've had dogs and cats since I was 3. Currently my husband and I have 4 dogs and 5 cats. Dogs range from Buddy the 100-pound Golden, to Bella the 60-pound hound to Stubby the 40-pound Chow mix to Precie the overweight 20-pound mystery dog with the face of a Shitzu and the hair of a Yorkie or Schnauzer and the temperament of Attila the Hun! The cats rule indoors, the dogs own the back yard with a sleeping porch in the house at night.
Buddy is 10 and in spite of our hopes that he could avoid this Golden trait, has started getting sarcomas and just had his front left leg removed. We have had many pets die over the years - lovingly buried and remembered. But Buddy going to 3 legs is a new world for us.
thank you all for helping us in this difficult journey.

You remind me of my Snoop, he also loved, loved his toys. Brought them to everyone when they came home. Hope your recoup goes well. Take it easy and get a lot of rest.
Hi Esther and Angel Snoop, I see there isn’t a button to “like” your comment – so I’m commenting to send you a smile. And I added a banner for the blog with Buddy and his toys!
Buddy is doing much better as we enter our second week of recovery. The vet says his incision is healing well. His stitches come out on Thursday.
Then we’ll try out the harnesses you sent and send some on to Rachel and Harlie Girl
