This is so very cool about the dog dialing 911 and letting the cops in after her epileptic owner fell and was knocked unconscious. Dogs are capable of such amazing feats of service.
On the other end of the spectrum, while I was out earlier with Shiloh, Lilly discovered the couch. Mr. Cracker said she crawled up on it and was flopping up and down the length of it, bouncing off all the cushions, and looked like she was enjoying moving without hurting anything.
I was wondering if there might be something out there like a boxing glove for her stump, with a velcro fastener at the top. That would be terrific for outside.

Gee, the homeowners association would love that.
She moves very awkwardly, to say the least. Out on the street, it's more difficult. The stump does bump the gutter, or touch the road, depending on how she's moving.
Mark saw her on the couch and that was his opinion, that she was enjoying moving on total cushiony softness.
May I never live in a house ruled over by a housing association.
Could you glue one of those rubber crutch-tips to the stump?
