It's so good to hear that Tink is doing better everyday. We are still praying for you! :hands:

Glad to hear Tink is doing better

Im so glad to hear that Tink is getting better, thats great news.

Lovely Tink
 

Dearest Tink. Well, my Momma is overcome with emotion when she reads about you. She says "Charlie, she is stronger everyday and soon will be home with her Mommy". Tink, sometimes we are sick and feel weakness in our body, don't we? But, Tink, you are a strong girl and so is your Mommy. Look at what you did today --- sat up.

Momma told me that she believes you will feel so much better with the new doctor's treatment, soon be running around (I think your Mommy calls that zoomies) with kong, and give your Mommy lots of kisses.

Tink, Uncle Charlie is so sorry that you have been sick, and sending you a hug with this note. Always remember that Uncle Charlie holds you close to his heart, my special girl.

Fondly, Uncle Charlie and his Momma

PS Your new lingerie is beautiful and the lavender should match your hair beautifully. We look forward to a picture of you, sweet pea and tell Mommy not to worry about your hair. We know you are just beautiful even though you haven't been to the "pup beauty salon" for a while.

Oh Deborah, that was just too sweet.:)

Susie, I am doing the happy dance too. :cheer::cheer: Bless you and Tink

I'm so happy to hear this!!! YAY!!! Go Tink! I hope each day brings some new improvement!
The nightie is too cute! She'll be so comfy cozy in it.

All our love to Tinky,
Tammy, Abby and Daisy

That is realy great news, you must be so happy !:D

I just love your posts Deborah. They are always so positive and calm.

I miss those zoomies! Every morning she runs around the living room and down the hall to my bedroom stopping at the bathroom door where I'm trying to paint some drama onto my face, to give a short bark. I must respond with a growl or she keeps barking. Over and over until she is exhausted and panting. She can go sooooo fast you would never know she is missing the ball of her hip socket. I keep looking at the door wondering when she's going to start - and the I remember she isn't here. But it will be good. I know Barb and Peter will take good care of her and help her with her therapy. She couldn't be in a better place. As you said Deborah, one day soon...

Thanks Uncle Charlie for thinking of Tink. Every day when I see her I tell her about her friends on YT and how Bernie, Uncle Charlie and Winston are thinking of her and want her to be well soon.

Sending hugs to you and praying that you and Tink will be better soon. it's so hard to be away from our babies. Have you brought a shirt or anything of yours so that Tink can smell your scent and feel your presence?

My husband used to travel quite a bit and when he would leave I would put one of his shirts with Samie where she would sleep and relax when she was tired. I know it comforted her as she would smell it and then take it and make a bed out of it. It was the cutest thing.

Whenever we both would travel out of town I would leave one of my shirts and my husbands in their little beds. My neighbor laughed and thought I was crazy but I didn't care what anyone thought :-) I knew it comforted my girls while we were away for a few short days. My neighbor took great care of them while we were gone but now if we ever will go on a trip I need someone to stay with the girls 24/7.

For now with issues we are dealing with we must travel home to visit our families seperately. But I also can't stand the thought of my girls being all alone even for just a couple days and the neighbor coming to let them out 6 times a day and feedings. I want someone with them ALL the time. So I am currently trying to find someone I could trust.

I know you are missing Tink but it is a true blessing that someone can care for her until you are well and taking care of yourself. You will have that time again I know and it will be so heartwarming when that day comes.

Hugs to you and Tink!!!
Love,
Renee, Sadie & Samie

Yay! Go Tink! :happybounWe are doing a happy dance :D

Good Going Little Tink! Keep it up baby girl! Your mommy needs your puppy kisses!
Good Luck to you with your surgery! We will all be thinking of you.

Susie...what a thrill it was to come back on YT to hear all of the promising improvements in your baby girl. I of course have been worried sick with wonder...I do hope that you know that even if I'm not on YT posting...you and Tink are both on my mind, in my heart and always, always in my prayers. As I read this thread, with every update...I see the strength that Tink has and the total love and encouragement you give her. She is being very well taken care of, although I understand how very much you must miss her. Please remember her strength as you too endure therapy...if Tink can do it...so can you!!! When this is all said and done...you will both come home...then may the zoomies begin!!! You both have this homecoming to look forward to...something to work very hard for.

I havent being on YT for so long. When I saw this post I had to say that I will add Tink and you to my prayers. Im glad that Tink seems to be better. Hugs to you and Tink.

I love Tink's new nightie and know she will be beautiful in it! I hope she had a good day today and will be even better tomorrow. We will hold her close in our hearts and keep her in our prayers until she is back to her old happy self! God bless you both.

glad to hear tink is doing so well!!!!

Hi all. I just got home a bit ago from a long day - part working, part singing, part rehearsing, and part with Tink.

I spent some time this afternoon with Barb helping with Tink's therapy. It was exciting and sad at the same time. Barb put her in a sling and put her down far enough that her feet touched the floor. Then she walked with her. I could just see the confusion in her little face as she looked at me. I felt like she was saying "Mama, what's going on with my butt?" Her front legs were trying so hard to move. You could see them making little jerky movements but the back legs - nothing. I was trying so hard not to cry cause I don't want to upset Tink.

I don't think she has the brain damage the vet thought she would have. She seems very alert to me, not vocal but quite aware of everything going on. She held her head up pretty well today not nearly as wobbly but she tires easily. I have great hope for this little girl.

Oh Susie this is good news.. it will Take Baby steps but Tink will get better I am sure of it.. I am keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.
((((((HUGS)))))

Glad you were able to spend time with Tink today. What would cause her muscles to be weak, Susie? Chin up, and remember, Tink hasn't used her muscles in what..two or more weeks? Therapy is the magic word to slowly awaken her motor skills. Just as you will need therapy to strengthen yours following surgery.

I don't know how you can't look at Tink and want to weep everytime you see her. You love her and her little eyes reach out as if to say "I am trying really hard, Momma".

Every day that you write, it is encouraging because Tink is able to do something positive in her recovery.

Thinking of you and sending you warm thoughts with this message. -Deborah

Susie, this is what therapy is all about. You'll see only little bits and pieces of improvement...but each of those little bits and pieces add up. So be encouraged by these small signs...remember to keep the faith...I know I do. I pray for God to cradle Tink...hold her close...and heal her, mind and body. This is all so difficult for you to see because of the deep love, the bond, you have for your baby.
Rest well...tomorrow is a new day. Sleep tight sweet Tink baby...love you!!!

Susie, reading about little Tink's therapy brings tears to my eyes. (both happy and sad) Neurological issues are a mystery to me (and I'm sure to you and to Tink), but in time miracles can happen. We are all pulling for her and for you.

Bernie sends kisses and says hang in there. Sometimes those crazy butts just don't do what you tell them to.

I would think the good news is that Tink remembers what she is supposed to do, now it is just figuring out how to do it again. Tink has overcome everything she wasn't supposed to so far, so I have no doubt she will continue to improve each day. Hugs!!!!!

Thanks for the update. Sounds like good news to me ... baby steps are good! I will continue to pray for little Tink and daily improvement. God bless you all.

Bless her heart and yours too....I can't believe she's going thru this :(but it sounds like she is quite the little fighter ~ GO TINK and get well sweetie !! We're praying for you and sending hugs

Bless Tink's little heart, she's trying so hard. Every baby step is a giant stride on her road to recovery. You go, Baby Girl:). Prayers on their way for continued progress and big hugs all around:).

Baby steps turn into big steps, eventually. Tink sure is a little fighter.
I pray each new day brings something new, however little it may be.
Miracles happen everyday and we are all praying for one for you Tink.
Keep up the good work Tink. You may be little but your heart and spirit
are so big.

Hugs,

I woke up today feeling very blessed. A calm came over me and I felt as though Tink is on her way to a miraculous recovery. She is in very good hands, God will protect her and show her the way. He'll lift her spirits, help her to gather the strength she needs to continue healing. I will continue to believe that Tink will recover and come home to her mommy...Susie, my thoughts and prayers are with you too, hoping your surgery goes smoothly and recuperation quick. Hugs, again...

That little girl is a miracle. Praying for a good recovery. I hope she continues to get better each day. Bless you Tink.

Sunday Evening
 

Hi, Susie. Eager to hear our evening news about sweet Tink. Warmly, Deborah

Hi everyone. Just got home from church a little bit ago. We have a missionary from Haiti here this weekend and next week so I've been busy this weekend helping with the music and sound for that.

I saw Tink today for a little while. Barb had family over so I didn't want to be in the way. I held Tink and rocked in the rocking chair and she nuzzled right up as close as she could get and went to sleep on my shoulder. She didn't want to eat anything this afternoon - I hope Barb had better luck tonight. She was holding her head up very well today. But her back legs are still not working. The front ones are still jerking around trying. But the vet said that is how it would be. He said that if she is going to walk again it will come back slowly and the back legs may never work well because of the damage from the seizures. But I want her to walk again, so she will and that's the end of that story.:p Now I will just keep praying and helping her and just wait. :)
