The last month has been a tuff one for us both. He is a smart little dude......he knows that if he stands on the rugs his feet will not slide out from under him. Thanks to Kati and her early on pee problems there is not much carpet around anymore.....so we are using rugs all over the place for the boy. He waits at the door for me to help him in and out......and if don't see him there, he gives me a little bark so i know he is back. He has also figured out that if he gets a little running start (as best he can now), he can get up the little steps that are around the back yard patio. On his bad days, he needs help with the little steps. One would think he would let all this badness get him down but his only bad times are a little growl at Kati when she tries to take his favorite spots from him. I have to admit he is getting special treatment to make sure he has a comfortable spot to sit and lay on. Sometimes he just likes to stand and does not seem like he can get comfortable.....I sure wish he could give me a little more help with understanding what makes him feel best.
The time of year has been perfect for him to be able to sit at the front door and just look out to check out what is going on in the neighborhood. Kati has even been sitting at the door with him to survey their empire. It sure would have been nice if they could have been able to do surgery on him. It has been tuff to watch as he has not really improved at all....there have been a few weeks where he seemed to be stable but then would crash and take step backwards. It was tuff to hear the doctors say........there is nothing we can do until he cant walk at all.......well, if that has to be the plan, having him see strangers going into surgery as his last possible look at people........was no answer either. I can only imagine what that must be like to hear for a human family member.....
Well.......its time to walk away for today, say a few more prayers to the Big Dog.....later....
