Being a three-legged Great Dane is a lot of work. Being a three-legged Great Dane with growing lung tumors is even more work.

As the weeks go by, Romeo is getting tired more and more easily.

Romeo likes to hang out outside sometimes, but he doesn’t have the energy to meander around for long periods of time. But he doesn’t like to lie on the ground. The obvious solution was to put a rug outside for him.

On days when I hang out in the hammock, I’ll put Romeo’s favorite bed on the rug so we can both enjoy the nice summer weather.

Here he is after a big trip to the backyard for potty time yesterday.
