I'm so sorry to hear about Rex. What a horable thing to have to go
through for Rex, you and your husband. I've known 3 tripods and have
been told that loosing a front leg is the best if it has to happen.
One I knew was a Great Dane that had her front leg amputated because
of cancer. She could run up and down steep hills and jump with the
best of them. I'm sure Rex will have a very happy life on three legs.
