yes, accidents happen every day. You can never be too careful. Heck, my VET even dropped one from a previous litter. he was transferring them to a box for me to take them home in. newborn babies. This man is over six feet tall. he dropped the baby from chest high and his assistant broke it's fall with her foot. We never did know which pup it was. They were all fine. he was so embarrassed he didn't know what to say or do. I was furious but I tried to make light of it and make him feel better. I mean, how can you stay mad at someone like that who comes any time day or night you call him and I call him a lot. I was thinking if it was Sam, maybe he had a fatal disease or something that I needed to know right away as a breeder so i could fix it and give Mary's money back. I knew he was checked two days before he left me and then Mary's vet gave him a wonderful rep[ort so i couldn't imagine what it could be but i had a gut feeling it was an accident. It sounded like he was bad off and I was so afraid he was going to die. That is the puppy I wanted to keep to show but his ears got just a little too big. he has more gold on him than the one I actually kept to show.

Ok i feel like i need to say something again because i don't want anyone to think someone is lieng i just read over the post again and i read it all wrong the first time i guess yes hha did tell me about it but yes i also already knew myself so she was not telling me anything i did not already know i am sorry that big mess confusion was all my fault i need to stop flying through and half way reading things :( So i apologize for that post

you are a saint for caring for this child. Did you know I have two disabled children? My older son is severely retarded. All he can do is walk and feed himself finger foods when they are put in one of his hands. My younger son (31)is adopted and is learning disabled. i knew it when we adopted him. he is the one that I worry about. he knows just enough to get into things he shouldn't.

It's okay Mary, I think you are emotionally drained...take a much needed NAP!!!

Oops, sorry- http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...gar+concussion

Thank you Sherrie i am drained in everyway possible i think your right maybe a nap is just what i need to get back on track:) Now if i can just find someone to watch Sam while i do that is the hard part :(

just put him in his carrier for a little bit, he's going to be just fine..if you don't get enough sleep, you are going to lose it...I know, I never get enough sleep..:D

THANK YOU! :D

lol maybe that is what's wrong with me all the time because neither do i:eek:

No, I didn't know this...I actually did home health care for a man(he was 89) from last January through April..they gave him 3 mos. to live..he was out mowing one day, and the next day he couldn't even stand up..anyway, can't remember what exactly was wrong with him..but, he was in a wheelchair, then when I started he was using a walker more, by the time I was done with the job(hospice was also coming in once a week), he was riding his stationary bike, and had gone from a walker to a cane and then to walking on his own..I loved this man as if he were a father to me..by the time I got done with him, he was in better shape than I was..Unfortunately, i will never be able to help this child as I helped the man(whom just celebrated his 90th b-day last May)..this little boy was under water for 10 minutes, and has no use of his fingers or his legs..but, he can smile and laugh, and seeing him do that brings a smile to my face...I'm just not sure how long I will be able to take care of him, as lifting 80 some pounds I'm sure is going to start getting the best of my back..

It takes very special people to care for a person with disabilities and I just want to thank you, even though you dont work for me but its very comforting to know that there are still people like you who truly love what they do and feel rewarded by the smile you put on that persons face

Thanks

If i wouldn't have known better i would have thought you were talking about my dad he to was in the same shape and given the same amount of time to live over 13 YEARS AGO! He now drives walks does everything he wants to do :D My dads condition was do to a very severe stroke :( He just turned 68 last month

Awesome Update!!!
 

Ok now this to me is a amazingly BIG update! Ok Sam just climbed out of his bed and took off walking he walked through the kitchen i would say about at least 10 feet of walking just to go over to the food bowl and he stood there pigging out acting as if he was starving (it was canidae canned food mixed with canidae kibble he had been eating science diet a/d it's what the vet gave him) i didn't think he was ever going to stop eating when he finally did he walked back over by his bed to where i had the water bowl sitting for him and he drank again like a fish and then he climbed into the bed and went back to sleep well then Max comes over to him and barks at him like he is trying to say come on lets play well i guess Sam didn't like it because he growled at Max and sent Max running lol. I know he is getting better for sure now because he is getting his little attitude back:thumbup:

Just so everyone knows i walked with him the whole way i never touched him but i did have my hands down just in case he wobbled

Yay!! Way to go Sam:) Your update just made my day - thanks

That's great! I laughed thinking about him growling at Max. I'm glad he's doing so much better!

You are so welcome i am glad i could share the happiness :D I actually jumped up and down over it the kids were looking at me like i had lost it :eek:

Oh it was funny i wish i would have thought and got the cam out to video it

That is great Mary. I'm really kind of laughing at you following him every step of the way...bent over with your hands there just in case. Kind of like following a toddler learning to walk. You're a great mom.

:eek: Ok where are the hidden camera's? Where you in my kitchen? :eyetearss THAT IS EXACLTY WHAT I WAS DOING:eyetearss let me tell ya it is hard on the back to lol

Way to go little Sam!

That was a great update. I keep checking up on this thread and it just keeps getting better and better.
Mary, I am so glad you can stay home and give him all the attention and love he needs right now.
Keep up the good work guys!

Thanks for the upddate. he will soon be his normal self, I am sure. but you are going to have him so spoiled, he will smell rotten:)

Oh you better believe it :D Got a bit more of a update :) He walked out of his bed and down the hall then to the bathroom then back down the hall and into the other bathroom then back down the hall again and intot he living room and thenback down the hall again lol he loves the hall then through the kitchen to the food bowl then back through the kitchen to the water and then finally back to his bed all with no help from me and faster and faster with each step :D I am so happy i cannot wait to talk to his vet tomorrow and tell him to heck with that i will just go in with him and let him see for himself i am so happy now i am crying HAPPY TEARS this is one amazing little guy and tough man is he ever a tough one :) I am going to find my card reader later so that i can get a video of him to post on here :)
