| One year ago today, I did not lose my baby It has been exactly one year since the horrifying night that Layla became paralyzed and she had emergency spinal surgery. We found out she had IVDD, and a ruptured disc changed our lives forever. As most of you know, we didn't give up hope, even when a vet told us she should probably be put down if she didn't regain use of her legs or bladder. Well, with forums like YT, the Yahoo group Dodgerslist, and much research, we realized she'd live a happy life no matter what. She had been telling us the same thing the whole time and we just needed to open our eyes and see how happy she was Tonight I put together a little video, starring our little girl, to show everyone she doesn't know she's any different, and she can do anything any other dog can do! I hope this can give hope to anyone else facing the same situation YouTube - Layla 1 Year Post-Surgery

| I've never been one to give up hope, even when the odds are stacked against it. You have reinforced my resolve about this, and you have given Layla your love and her life. It is so obvious by seeing this how loved, happy, and confident Layla is. You have taught us all something very valuable because of Layla's story. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about every step of the journey that you and Layla have taken together. You are both heroes to me. It's amazing how one's life can change in an instant but how beautiful life can be when you embrace the challenges that life offers us.

| You know, I never knew the story behind Layla, and why she is on her "wheelchair" in your avatar. What a touching story, and how determined you and she was/is. I'm sure she is glad you never gave up on her! I couldn't help but smile when I saw her little tail.

| Lindsey and Scott, This really made my heart smile. I have followed this thread from the very beginning and have laughed and cried right along with the two of you. You did an amazing job with Layla, all the therapy session's etc. This story is a true testament to the determination and love you and Scott both have for Layla. Thank you for sharing your journey...Layla looks wonderful and very happy.
