This is Mack’s last night with four legs. We leave bright and early in the morning to drop him off for surgery. We had several talks with the kids about what is going to happen. They seem to be handling the news better than mommy and daddy…after the initial tears, of course. We’ve shown them lots of pictures thanks to Tripawds.com and explained the bottom line – a three-legged Mack is better than a very, very sick Mack or worse, no Mack at all.
This video was the kids a few hours after our initial talk:

It is also our last video footage of Mack walking on all four legs. 🙁
While I know in my heart that it is one thing for Donny and Kinsey to be ok with the “idea” of Mack as a Tripawd, I know that it is quite another thing for them to see him for the first time post op. Thanks for all the pictures of post op dogs here. We will do our best to prepare everyone for his return.
Wish us all well! Mack has his loving human family and his sister, Rozee, waiting for his return home.
