Hello again!
This weekend was not only my first weekend after my diagnosis with Osteosarcoma, but also is my last weekend on four legs. For some this may sound sad, but for me, this weekend was awesome! I got to see so many of my favourite people. And boy, did they all spoil me!
First, on Friday I was visited by my brother, Koda’s, mom. I asked her over and over where my brother was, but she said that he couldn’t come see me until I was feeling better. I guess that makes sense, but I still miss him lots and lots. Koda did, however, send me an amazing care package and card! He even got me another stuffed dragon (my fav!). Everything smelled a little like him, and it cheered me up so much. I had a hard time containing my excitement, so I ran around and played with my new toys a bit, even though it hurt my leg.
Next, on Saturday, I got to sleep in extra long with my Eddy. Boy did we both need a long sleep. After we woke up I was extra energized and played a whole bunch with my new toys from my brother. He got me this one ball that squeaks even at the lightest clench of my jaw. It is super loud. It made my Mommy and Eddy laugh and smile to see me making happy squeak songs with my new spiky ball.
After I got a bunch of my morning crazies out, my Mommy and Eddy made me do something really brave. I had to let them change my bandage on my hurt leg. Now, I am proud to show it off because it is turquoise, and I think it suits me.
Later that night I got to see my Blair! I had no idea he was coming to see me. I was so excited, my bum wiggled in every direction. I didn’t get to see him for long, but I was so glad for the visit.
On Sunday I got spoiled even more! Can you believe it? First, my auntie H came to see me. My leg was hurting quite a bit today, so she came over to my bed and her, my Mommy and Eddy gave me loads of pats all over. She then gave me the biggest bone I have ever had. It rocked!
Later that afternoon my friend Kora’s Mom and Dad came to say hi. They also brought me the coolest care package. One of the chews was this big horn. It is so fun to chew; I like the way it curls and I can hold onto it with my paw.
All in all I had one of my best weekends on record! Although my leg started hurting more and my limp got worse, I was so happy to get to see so many of my favourite people. I can’t wait for this pain to go away so I can get back to playing with my favourite dogs.
Love,
Hudson
omgosh. Hudson is gorgeous. So sorry but also glad you are here. Good luck with the amputation. You are in the right place and have lots of caring and experienced people ready to help you.

Thank you so much. So happy we found this community. I’m sure we will have many questions along the way.
So funny to see that horn. We have four dogs, and not long after Casey’s amp, I gave them all rawhide chews. It was heartbreaking. Casey always held them between his front paws, and now, he couldn’t. He was pretty frustrated. Now, I always make sure Casey gets a strip with a good bend in it, just like Hudson’s horn. That way, he can hold it up with one hand.
Yeah, I have a feeling that horn and other bones with some weight that keep them in place will be his favorites after his amputation. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Hudson! This is your Martha! I was so happy to read about the great weekend you had! You are such a lucky boy! I wish I lived even closer to you, so I could just drop by, but I will be there as soon as I can, and John will be with me too! We have a vacation booked, so the next two me we see you, you will be rockin’ the three legs!! Erica and Eddy will let us know how everything goes and we will be thinking of you and sending our love every day!!! Love you!
Love, your Martha xoxo
