Today is the day. Just dropped her off for surgery…

More photos of her last day on four legs here.

We had a beautiful holiday weekend. It was filled with lots of lounging in the grass, and snuggles, and butt rubs. James and I did some important mental and emotional preparation for Ursa’s amputation. So many thanks goes to Tripawds for providing such quick and easy access education for us. I don’t know what we’d do without this unbelievably supportive and informed community!

Then today, we had an amazingly thorough and reassuring visit with our vet. We talked through all of our concerns and questions. She made us feel incredibly comfortable and confident moving forward with Ursa’s surgery on Thursday. I’m still nervous but I’ve felt my initial shock and sadness lift and am enjoying the time with my furry first born.

More details and pictures of our last weekend with Ursa as a four-legged beast here…

She’ll be just as heart stoppingly gorgeous as a tripawd, no doubt.

Mommy, it’s okay. I’m now three. And Ursa will have three legs. You know, three’s a pretty great number.
