Hi everyone,

I haven't been on here or done much sewing lately. This is why:

In November we had a new addition to our house, Shadow, a German Shepherd puppy.

This is the day we brought him home (7 weeks old).

This is him at the beginning of January.

He is now 4 months old and unfortunately his front left arm wasn't growing properly and he had an operation to correct it last Thursday.
This is him with his big purple bandage.

He doesn't seem to mind the bandage on his arm unless he knocks it, but he doesn't like the big collar.

He is back at the vets for a check up tomorrow, fingers crossed it has started to get better.

Hope you like him.

He looks like such a Sweetie!  I hope that the operation has done its job and he never has to go through anything like that EVER AGAIN.  Why do bad things happen to good dogs?

He is gorgeous!  German shepherds are one of my favorite breeds.  I could not ask for a more loyal dog than my shepherd, Andre.  He was always sure to keep me in his sight.  You are really in for a treat with this guy.  Enjoy.

Awww what a little sweetheart! Does he mind the cast much? One of our dogs had one after he was attacked at the shelter (we adopted him right after the incident). Luckily, it didn't phase him at all! Here he is right after we brought him home:

Shadow is soooo adorable--hope his check up goes/went well!

I love the Snoopy wannabe.

Shadow's appointment at the vets went well yesterday. They are very happy with his progress, and they removed the bandage. The downside is that he constantly had to have the collar on, and he's not too happy about it.

The swelling has almost gone.

He is going for the stitches taking out on Monday.

Just to let you all know, Shadow is feeling a lot better now.

His stitches came out on Monday, and he starts hydrotherapy tomorrow night. I will take a few photo's.

We don't know if he will need anymore operations yet, it all depends on how his bones grow from now on.

What a sweetheart.  So glad his leg is improving.  Don't they hate wearing those "elizabethan" collars.
