	GUS The past couple of weeks were very long. I've spent pretty much the entire time laying down petting my Gus. He would cry every time I would try to leave him which broke my heart, but I think he may have been playing it up a little bit. The photos are of Gus and my other son Trooper laying on the air mattress that became my bed while he wasn't able to climb stairs. My boys usually don't sleep together but it was truly a unique experience to see how they interacted with each other knowing one was hurt. I wish I took photos of Trooper when he sensed Gus was feeling better he started placing toys in Gus' cone head while he was sleeping. It was really cute. Yesterday Gus has his staples removed and he was a good boy. Dr. B doesn't really see the point in the leg braces. I feel comfortable with the explanation and recommendation that the Dr. at Cornells Pain Clinic gave for him needing the extra support. I'm sure they're more on the ball with new procedures and therapies for our pets than old school ways of thinking. Today was Gus' first true day of wearing the leg brace and he was a champ. Walked kinda funny! I'll take some photos of my new "special ed" boy. I wish he had a better disposition so that he could be a therapy dog like trooper. It would've been great to be be able to take him to the children's hospital and show them a doggie with braces just like them. Feel free to use any of the photos for All for pets. I am truly thankful for all your help! Gus has another recheck appointment next month to make sure he is still doing well. I'll keep you updated. With great appreciation Nicole, Gus, and Trooper too
