When my little yorkie was sick, the vets told me the worst possible outcome. She's getting better every day. I believe you are a christian, or you wouldn't being praying. I just wanted to encourage you....after we pray for something...the next step is to thank God that he has answered. Start thanking God that Layla is going to be ok. There are some scriptures that always give me faith.....one is "call those things that are not as though they were" It helps to give you hope....and it sure doesn't hurt. I am praying for you....and your bf....when you go get through this, you will be stronger. Your little Layla is going to be ok. Remember, she doesn't know she's "sick." Just keep hope and love her.

Thank you. I consider myself Christian but the past few years I haven't really been active... haven't really been praying, haven't gone to church at all, except when visiting my boyfriend's parents, who go weekly. Almost a year ago exactly (it happened at the end of April), my mom had a stroke. It happened out of nowhere and I was shocked and terrified. I prayed constantly. After 5 days in the hospital, she was discharged and back to her normal self, except for on medication for the rest of her life. She recovered so quickly that I didn't think much of going back to church.

This time with Layla, we have run to the church. I have submitted prayer requests online, I have asked the reverend to pray for her, I have asked my friends and family to pray for her, and of course I have been praying myself. It's so weird, the main part of the service we went to on Sunday was about how they are trying to get more people to come to church, and for some it will take a big change in their life that makes them turn back to church, or come for the first time. I was holding back tears because it seemed to be about us.

God does work that way. I can't tell you what to do, but I know for myself, if I didn't have a relationship with God, and I didn't have knowledge of what His word says, I would feel hopeless in lots of situations in my life. One thing that I do know, is God loves you and now might be a good time to either pick up the bible, or what I like to do, I googled every scripture that pertained to faith....and I read them and everytime I start to get scared, and doubt, I go back to those scriptures and pray them over myself and my situation. God restored and healed your mom, and you must believe that He will do the same in this situation for your dog. Course, we get tired and we do doubt, believe me, I know, but just say "God forgive my doubt, and I am still believing and thanking you for her complete healing."

Thank you very much for your insight and encouragement. This morning I thought about my cross necklace that I wore every day and night that my mom was in the hospital. I couldn't find it. I told Scott about it. All of a sudden I had an urge to check a pocket in my purse, and there it was. It's been with me the whole time, in my purse! It's around my neck now and I will be wearing it while I wait for Layla to show some improvement. When I get really upset I just hold onto it and feel a little bit better. Someone earlier advised me to ask God to replace my fears with faith, and I feel that is working most of the time!

I'm not sure if feeling is returning, I think she just wants to be on the bed instead of the floor. She keeps trying to jump on the bed and she cries because she can't. I have her little bed beside me on the floor, but she has ALWAYS slept with us. Scott moves around a lot in his sleep and we don't want her getting pushed or hurt at all if she was with us, because she can't move out of the way anymore.
maybe you could make a bed on the floor for you next to her? just a thought.

When I first brought Maddox home, I was too afraid to let him sleep on the bed just yet. So I put him in the puppy stroller and rolled it right next to the bed. He could see me through the mesh, & I slept with my hand right by that little window so he could smell me. If you don't have a stroller, you might want to think about one - it would be great to push Layla through the house so she could be with you while you're cleaning, etc.
I love this idea! YT'ers are soooo smart!

How did Layla do today? Did I read this morning that you took her for therapy today? How'd that go? how's she doing tonight?

linz06 05-05-2010 04:53 PM
Ohhhh what a hassle to pick up Layla! We sat in the waiting room for an HOUR waiting for them to bring her up! And the whole time we were sitting beside a mom who is obviously starved for adult conversation, and her 3 kids. She was talking to them about the riots in Greece, the oil spill, and a new treatment for MS. They didn't know what she was talking about.

FINALLY Layla came up, but she didn't bring out her crate or her medication, so she had to run back and look for them. Bah! When she finally came back with everything, she told us "You should have seen Layla swimming today!" I said "She did good?" and she said "Oh yeah, she loved it" :) Layla started pooping on my arm, and then we left :eek:

It was really nice to be able to leave her there for the day. I love her to death but I really need a break sometimes.

That's such good news. I'm so glad things are looking up. I really look forward to hearing about her progress.:)

Layla has been pretty good tonight, but she got to lay down on the couch with us while we watched some tv. Scott got ready to put her in her crate, and she crawled right in! So she got a treat :) With a pill hidden inside, of course ;)

Now here's to hoping we can all get a good sleep tonight!

Hey Linz speaking of God, church and prayers.... here is a prayer I say in my head every time I have a rough time, a rough day or something goes wrong. Its not asking for much from God but it really helps me to feel more centered.

God grant me to the serenity to accept that which I cannot change
The courage to change that which I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.

Glad to hear the update on Layla. :) HOPE!

linz06 05-06-2010 06:12 AM
Thank you. I have been reading that same prayer on my grandma's wall for years :)

I am starting out today pretty stressed out. My cell phone went dead sometime in the night so my alarm didn't go off at midnight to wake me up for Layla's pill. I only realized this morning. Thank goodness she finished her painkillers yesterday so this pill just keeps her bladder toned for when she gets control back.

Then, on the way into the city, Layla was freaking out as usual in her crate. She's not used to being crated in the back seat. We were ignoring her crying but then she started ripping apart the plastic water bowl Scott had fastened to the crate for her. Water was everywhere, and she is liable to hurt herself more yanking and pulling with her head like that. No matter what I said, she wouldn't stop.

We are at work now and she's laying comfortably. I have a ton of work to do today plus taking care of her.

I hope your day calms down. It's really hard when it starts out with so much stress and work. Try closing your eyes and taking deep breaths and imagining a peaceful environment.:)

Sounds like she's doing great! Spunky little thing, flipping out in her crate like that. Maybe try a seatbelt harness on her so she won't hurt herself, only if she'll lay nice on the seat with it. Sounds like she may be getting frustrated with all the confinement.

Oh, and you could try letting her take a nap on the bed with you (awake), sounds like she really misses being on the bed with you. (put a pee pad under her)

I use #2 diapers for my 8 lb Yorkie occassionally. Funny, the Winnie the Pooh design has a circular picture of the Pooh on the back of the diaper... I cut that out and it fits the tail perfectly! They're like 30 for $8-10.

Also, when one of my pets requires additional, individual attention, I look at it as special bonding time that I wouldn't have had otherwise, and a time for me to take a break from my should-have-been-done-yesterday-to-do list. :D

linz06 05-06-2010 07:38 AM
The first day we came home, I let her nap with me on the bed. I napped a little too, but I've been sleeping with her since she was a baby and I'm very aware of where she is at all times! She sucked on the pillow beside me. She has always sucked on pillows, it's like a comfort to her.

I'm just worried if she can nap on the bed sometimes, and then has to stay on the floor overnight, she'll keep crying about being on the floor. I'M almost crying about her being on the floor! I know it's best for her but she would always curl up against my stomach when I curled up on my side and it is so hard for me to sleep without her right there.

She just had a big soft poop in her crate, and some got stuck in her leg fur :( It took awhile to get out using just wet paper towel :(
