| Pray for Tucker/Update The news is bad. He has Atlantoaxial instability. The vet put him in a brace from the back of his head to the middle if his body. He has to be in it for 6 weeks, and can't run, jump, or play. He is so pitiful. He can't understand what's going on. The brace has to be so uncomortable. He's 5and aa half months now. Hopefully in 6 or 7 weeks, he can have surgery, but it's risky. I'm just devastated. Tucker's Mom |

| I'm so very sorry that little Tucker has to go thru this. I totally understand about them not understanding what is going on with them but they do know that you still love them dearly. Best of luck with the treatment and surgery. Hugs to you and Tucker.

| You need to contact Vicki- Bleuboybarber Her baby, Bleu Boy, had the surgery, what? A year or two ago? He is doing FANTASTIC now! They had it done at Texas A&M I believe. Anyway, she is the kindest person ever and would be more than happy to help you! I am so sorry about Tucker. That is a very scary disease.

| I know it's hard for all of you at this time...I will pray that it goes really, really, fast for all of you....I remember when my babies couldn't be active and I slept on the floor with them in an x-pen....

| I actually read your post around 4:30, and was so upset for you and tucker, I didn't have any words to express my sorrow...But after reading Mom to Hot Rod's post, I decided she said it absolutely perfectly...Although he doesn't understand what's going on, he does understand that you love him...And that will get you both through this...God bless you and your family, and I will, fervently, have you all in my prayers, until you see this through... Love, Maggie & Apple xoxoxox |

| My poor baby is having so much trouble walking. It's so hard to watch. He wants to run, and play, but he can't. He falls, and can't get up. How do I get in touch with Vickie-BlueBoybarber? I would really like to correspond with her.I need some encouraging news. I would love to hear about her dog's surgery. Thank you all for the prayers and kind thoughts. Tucker's Mom |
