awwwwww even though it took him 20 minutes, he did it!! That's great!!! I think as long as he's doing that a little each day, he'll soon be walking again. It will just take him some time. I'm sure he's very weak from not walking.
I'm so sorry to hear of your friend's yorkie passing away. That's so sad. I'm glad you are getting more help.
Good luck, will look for an update tomorrow! Go Baby Bear!!
