Like shelbysmom states" next time I will buy a dog" hint*** they are NOT our dogs, but our children***
Update on loki: still limping. Still on meds. Waiting for my f/w withe doc this Sunday. Hes very active. Loves to eat- and just wants to play. Everything looks normal, beside his flipping limping. |
Oh I know just how much money a loving Mom can spend on her dog! Just remember you will have to train him to go up and down the steps. Treats have always worked well for me!
I think that large or small or somewhere in-between, dogs to a true dog lover are quite like our children
You hang in there - try your darndest to limit jumping off high stuff, and go to your follow up and see that specialist.
Now what I believe is that you are strong enough, to do what you need to do for your dogs health and well-being. And your heart is aching so, I get that, but it seems it fuels your passion to do all that you can for your boy!
I am going to paraphrase something I read recently, when you love a dog and lose a dog, you give a piece of your heart away, when you love another dog you get a piece of your heart back - but it is a *doggey heart**. Not too sure if that makes sense to you or not. But over time I truly believe dog lovers, create a heart that is different to the run of the mill standard human heart.
There is little fault in loving deeply. There is much joy, and of course much pain to that. But you like I, would never stint on loving a dog very deeply and completely.
Keep in touch and I will try to look at my calendar better
