We are adopting a 1-year-old female who had an amputation surgery two months ago. We heard from the shelter that she is very active and confident. So we want to give her lots of options of running and jumping around, high and low, but we also want to ensure her safety too. So we have three questions:

1. We know jumping down is more difficult for front-leg tripawds, so in your experience what is the maximum safe height for her to jump down? For example, is she able to jump down from bed/chair height without putting too much stress on her joints?
2. We want to give her a variety of routes accessing high spaces such as cabinet tops. We are considering installing a vertical ladder on the side of a cabinet. Do you think she will be able to climb up it safely?
3. Do you think we should prepare elevated food bowls and water bowls for her to drink in a seated position where her front leg won't be so tired?

Thanks a lot!

This poor Alocasia had root rot. I removed the majority of its roots that were dead, sterilized its remaining roots and repot it into new chunky soil, and at spot with modest indirect light. Only one leaf is still living (but visibly withered) and only three short roots are still healthy. Do you think I should remove this only leaf to prevent from water loss?

This piece of wood is from a white willow that used to stand next to my apartment. The landlord didnt like it and cut it down last year. I saved a chunk of wood and thought i would make a carving out of it in remembrance. Yesterday I found out that it has grown a few leaves (maybe due to spring light and temperature). As it seems that it refuses to die, I wonder if it is still possible to save it. Many thanks!

(Yesterday I put it in a plate of water, but it does not seem to be taking water in so far.)
