When we got Baby home and out of the car I thought I would ‘help’ while she used the yard. I stood on the right side and had the harness handle and walked beside her. She promptly sat down and didn’t move. As soon as I let go of the handle, she got up and went off by herself. I stayed close enough to help if needed, but she really wanted to do things by herself. It was a sleepless night for me (thanks for all the warnings of what to expect), but I think she’s going to do well.

Roger and I have adopted many furbabies in our 35 years of marriage. Baby is a 6 yr. old 155lb English Mastiff who came to us when she was 1 1/2 yrs old along with her 'brother' Toby (a Landseer Newfoundland). We adopted them from Gentle Giants rescue and they are, indeed, both Gentle Giants. Baby was diagnosed with bone cancer in January 2012. She just had her surgery on January 27th, 2012 to remove her right rear leg. She is recovering beautifully we are thrilled to have her with us!

My Daisy did the same thing. I would put a towel under her belly for a sling and she wouldn’t move. Always had to do things her own way.
Hope Baby’s recovery continues to be uneventful!
