Thanks everyone!

I have three fur-babies that all have special needs. Some days (weeks!) have been very stressful and emotional but knowing God has given them to me and feeling the love that they give back has made every second worth it!

THANK YOU for taking care of special needs babies. I never knew how rewarding it could be. I never would have chosen it and I never would have thought I could even do it until it happened to my own little girl.

We are half done crate rest today!!! Poor Layla doesn't know any better and probably thinks she's just going to be confined forever

I bet she'll be excited when we slowly start reintroducing her to real life again! Luckily this time it's happening in winter when we don't want to be outside anyway!

Now you're going into the second half. You're right. At least, it's winter.

Layla's rehab vet called this morning to see how Layla is doing

She was very glad to hear how much better she is, and told me neck problems can be really scary. She also wants me to send her a picture of Layla for her Graduation Wall in the rehab centre, because she thinks Layla really deserves to be up there

yorkieusa · 12-16-2010, 05:21 PM

I think Layla should be up there on that wall, too.

Layla is truly an inspiration, and she should provide hope to others when they see her photo and hear her story. I believe in Layla and the power of the love you share with her.

Thank you!

Tomorrow is 5 weeks of crate rest. This last week flew by! Must be because of Christmas!

Layla's been a bit spoiled lately and we've put her new bed (from the GE) in front of her crate door at home so she can lay in bed while we're watching tv in the evenings

Yesterday we spent the whole day lazing around and Layla spent the whole day cuddled in bed, flat on her back, snoring as loud as she could! I wish I had taken pictures!

yorkieusa · 12-20-2010, 08:51 AM

At least, she is comfortable during her crate rest. It sounds like she loves her new bed. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

celstu1 · 12-28-2010, 06:11 AM

hahahahaha My Fletcher has started snoring lately and it's too funny! He gets loud and bf and I just stare! Darn lazy dog!!!! LOL

Hows Layla doing??

linz06 · 12-28-2010, 11:14 AM

Lol that's cute! I love when they snore!

Layla is doing really well! Christmas was a bit of a hassle because she was always crying to be somewhere else. Between her crate, her bed, her stroller, and my lap, she usually found a place she could be happy lol. We got to my parents' house on the 23rd, and Layla was beside the kitchen table in her bed and she was quite content. I went to the fridge to get a drink, and my dad came through the front door. Well, Layla flew across the kitchen and launched herself down the two steps into the sunken living room and was across to the other side before realizing she couldn't get up the next two steps. Everyone thought it was cute but it nearly gave me a heart attack! She shouldn't be moving like that! Luckily there was no harm done!

She only has two weeks of crate rest left!

yorkieusa · 12-28-2010, 01:34 PM

Layla's going to give you a heart attack yet! I'm glad the time is getting nearer that she can be free again.

linz06 · 01-04-2011, 08:06 AM

ONE MORE WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are back at work today and Layla is snoozing in her stroller, but in the past couple of days we've loosened up the rules at home a bit. We have been doing a bit of play time on the living room area rug, and we've stopped bringing her crate up to the bedroom and she is allowed to sleep in her bed overnight. She's still taking it easy, and about 5 minutes of play time is enough for her! She doesn't move at all anymore without her back legs moving too! Sometimes she stands and scares herself! Yesterday I threw a toy for her and she was running to grab it about 2 feet away, and one of her back paddling legs came up under her and extended and she jumped and turned around, forgetting all about the toy! She just looked like WHAT is going ON back there??

I don't think she has regressed at all during her crate rest. We'll make another rehab appointment in the next couple of weeks and see what the vet thinks!

yorkieusa · 01-04-2011, 10:42 AM

Woohoo! Layla's almost free and going to take off one of these days!

Buster Brown · 01-04-2011, 11:12 AM

I love reading about Layla's spunky attitude. You two have worked so hard to give her the best of care. I am so happy to hear about the movement in her back legs. Good luck with you last week of crate rest. Buster send you his best wishes and he thinks you are one really special girl.

JERSEY BOY · 01-04-2011, 12:59 PM

That is great news! Way to go Layla!!!! 1 more week that's it

celstu1 · 01-05-2011, 02:01 PM

YAY! I am sooooo glad to hear the progress in Layla! Crate rest was just what she needed I guess!
