Christmastime Bellyache

Tripawd Wyatt Ray recovers from gastromy surgery to remove a stomach obstruction caused by eating a towel.

I have so many adventures to tell you about. But right now I don’t feel so good.

High as a kite on Fentanyl

See, last week I chomped on a towel for fun. Which I do all the time when my people aren’t around! But this time the towel I ate made me feel terrible. Guess I picked the wrong kind. Anyhow, next thing I knew I woke up in a cage with a shaved belly and a big long scar down my gut. And man it hurt!

Wyatt recovers from gastromy surgery.

The clinic people were great but I wanted out. Yesterday the vet called my people and said I could come home. I’m glad. It’s way easier to sleep on my couch than in a cage with a bunch of unregulated dogs all around.

Mmmm Fentanyl dreams.

I like being in my own crib. But eating just doesn’t feel so great right now. After all, my stomach got sliced open like a stuffed turkey. Ouch. My people keep trying to feed me cause I haven’t eaten any real food for almost a week. Today I finally ate a little bit. They put that Honest Kitchen stuff in my bowl and hand fed me! Yep, king of my castle I am.

Wyatt recovers with hand feeding and Honest Kitchen.

Now I can’t do anything or have fun for at least two weeks. This sucks. No more towels for me, no way no how.

It’s gonna be a mellow Christmas with me at home getting over this surgery. I hope you have more fun than me!

Sixteen Legged Riot

Four three-legged German Shepherds and one mix named Smokey B gather for a pawty in Colorado mountains.

Some people said hell would freeze over before an epic event like this would happen again. Well hah! It DID! And hell still froze over!

A Snowy Day in Tripawd Land

The Oaktown Pack came to see me in Colorado and it went something like this:

Oaktown Pack Greetings

Then we had some more fun in the snow. Hell was freezing over but no matter…

Snow Tripawds

And the fun went on! Me and my people are still recovering so they gotta get the live action photos on the ‘puter. Stay tuned!

Just Recreating

See how a three-legged German Shepherd dog spends his summer at a Colorado dude ranch.

Some people think that all working dogs do is work. Well, I’m here to say that’s not true. Even German Shepherds know how to relax sometimes.

I was in a pawrade. Everyone cheered me on because I’m so great.

See the Tripawd Pawrade!

A few times a week my humans take me swimming.

Yes, it’s a three-legged dog swimming.

Go ahead, catch me!

Wyatt catches his favorite ball.

And then there’s a few times when I don’t do anything at all but look cute and beg for treats.

Got treats?

It’s a tough life as a working ranch dawg. But somepawdy’s gotta do it.

Five Years on Three Legs

Three-legged German Shepherd Wyatt celebrates five year ampuversary of life on three legs.

Today is my five year ampuversary! Will you pawty with me?

See Wyatt Run

Some people might think it’s weird to celebrate the day you lost a leg. But not you, Tripawds family. You get it. You know that no matter what some people say, it’s really better to be hoppy on three than not be here at all.

Pawty with Me Please

I’m a long way from where I started in Oaktown, and I’m so glad. Life is good!
