My Graham had an accident...

[Logan]

What a wonderful sight it is to see Graham without his cast!! I know you will worry until he's using that leg again, Leslie, but in time, he'll figure out that it is ok!! It took three long months for him to get used to it, and might take a while for him to readjust to being without it! But he'll do it, and all because you and Dan have been there for him all the way!!! Great job, all of you!!!

I bet he is one happy baby boy getting that cast off! He looks so sweet. I hope everything goes good for him this year.

Oh Leslie, I can't see the picture, it didn't come up but I'll bet he is one happy pup right now. It must feel so good to have that cast off. He was so brave all that time and patient. And hats off to you Leslie for doing everything in the world you could to help him, that's real dedication to one you love so much. Hugs and kisses to Graham from Miss Daisy, Perry and me.

That's great news!! Glad to hear it!!

I'm so pleased that Graham is doing better. Even though I have not posted much on the health and rescue topics recently I have been keeping him, and others in need of prayers, in my thoughts.

We can't adequately express how glad we are that this ordeal is almost over for Graham and his mommie and daddy. He is just the bestest boy ever and, Leslie, you know how much we all love him...bunches and bunches and bunches and bunches.

Graham dear:
we are so happy to know that the cast has come off We are sure that being the brave boy you are, and with your mom and dad tender loving care, you'll be in top shape soon. You may not be able to run a "Doggie Marathon" but you'll have many happy and playful days anyway. Love and hugs to you and congratulations to Leslie and Dan for everything they've done to make you healthy again.

Oh Dear Sweet Graham - so very happy to hear you're a wee be lighter nowadays - won't be long you'll be running along on all 4's like you should. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful, patient Mom and so very many friends. You deserve a complete recovery of which I know you will get

I just signed on for five weeks of physical therapy for Graham. He will have a 1/2 hour session every Monday starting this coming Monday for five weeks. After the P.T. he should be showing alot of improvement hopefully. They also said that they would teach me how to massage and stretch his leg properly so that I can do p.t. at home between sessions. Hopefully I won't have to take him any longer then 5 weeks. I'll let you know how it goes. I have never even had P.T. myself so I have no idea how Graham will handle it. I just hope it does not hurt too bad, he's been through enough pain to last a lifetime!

I'm soooo glad to hear that Graham is cast-less now and will soon have his own private masseusse! What a lucky little man he is. I know he'll improve quickly and be thankful for your care!

I don't have a lot, but count me in. We could call it, "Graham's Get Well" fund. Louie and The Beans are pulling for you Graham!! Loves to you!

Leslie,

I am so happy that Graham will be getting p.t. !!!
After reading that you were going to do this with
Graham, I thought,"what a great idea".I been checking
out 'canine massage therapy' on a search to learn more
about it. It seems this a very old practice with horses
and is now extended to humans & canines. I've found
tons of info on this subject that I want to use for Buddy.
Some of the storys of treatment I've read so far, are
amazing for the improvement seen in dogs treated.
Thank you for posting about it b/c it has given me
new ideas to help Buddy with his quality of life issues.

Hugs and kisses to Sweet Graham from Buddy & Liz.

YEAH!! for Grambo and getting the cast off!!! He is one very lucky dog and you are a wonderful mother! I can't see the pics right now either but I'm sure he looks marvelous!!
Are you still having any trouble with the smell? My mother told me tonight about some stuff that is supposed to work fabulously on dogs to soothe their skin and makes them smell great. She's going to ask the woman who told her about it more tomorrow so I'll get back to you with the name.

Congrats to Graham!! Good luck with the PT!

Let us know how Graham will get along with the PT. If it's the same as with humans, it will start with some gentle exercises to get the muscle back in his leg and make Graham more confident in using it. At least that's how it worked with my father after he was bedridden for a long time. It's hard work but I'm sure it's going to be worth it.

Good Luck Graham be a good boy and do all your excercised - you will be back to your old self in no time!

The PT will be wonderful for Graham's body and mind!! You go SuperGraham! Love and kisses to our superpupsterpal!!
