Don't know about you, but I needed a mid-week pick me up. BSR Alum Walt (Uncle Walt) never disappoints! Warning- tissue alert!
Bio: A senior that had strayed from wherever he had come from, Walt found himself in a southern shelter. He had heartworms and an apparent injury to his forearm that needed orthopedic evaluation. Curiously, xrays revealed that sometime in his former life, before finding himself in a shelter, Walt had had an injury or congenital deformity that had necessitated pins in his elbow. Unfortunately, the repair had deteriorated, and he was left in a great deal of pain and a poorly functioning forearm. Surgical repair was impossible due to the condition of the joint, and veterinary orthopedic specialists who evaluated him advised that Walt would have a significantly improved quality of life if his front leg were amputated at the shoulder so he could be pain free and completely mobile. Indeed, Walt immediately adapted to being a "tripod" after years of pain and mobility issues. In fact, he found a love of being on the water with his fosters! He was an extremely affectionate dog that enjoyed just about anything his fosters wanted to do if it meant he could be by their sides!
Luckily, some adopters LOVE seniors, and Walt hit the jackpot with a family that has other dogs to go do the busy work of playing and retrieving, while he soaks up the love and attention from his family in his laid back, loving way. They also live on the water, so Walt has been able to indulge his love of the water as copilot to his dad on their boat!
FAST FORWARD..... Walt was adopted, and he is living an amazing life! He now has a prosthetic leg! Here is an update from his adopter:
"This is only the fourth day working with the new leg and adjusting it for the correct length, but Walt is getting very strong and learning to use it. 3D Pets said some dogs take up to 30 days to even move with it. He is way ahead of the game! Our pictures from the day of adoption to present
It's Christmas Eve! Thanks to all who submitted photos. Here is our annual telling of 'Twas the Night Before a Boykin Christmas! Enjoy!
