I am so sorry for your loss. Gulliver was strong and beautiful. You are too. That was a tough decision that you had to make and although I know it was not easy, you did the right thing.

Hi I just wanted to let you know that I feel your pain and I'm so,so sorry as I type this tears are streaming down my cheeks . I had the same thing happen to me like a year ago with my pekingese muggsy , Im mean one morning he was fine and when I came home later that evening I heard him whimpering . I called him to me and he didn't come so I went to him and found him in a puddle of his own urine trying to literally drag himself out of bed. I couldn't believe what I was seeing . I cleaned him up and searched for anything I could find on the subject of disabled hind legs etc. because at that time I was having a rough patch and didn't have much money. So I bought a heating pad ,some baby wipes, weewee pads and a bottle of dog pain pills and arthritis pills . I placed the heating pad under the weeweee pad and and laid muggsy on it . Then I hide the pills in treats and gave them to him ,like guliver muggsy was completely healthy too. I massaged him everyday for like week and he didn't seem to be getting better .So my mom was telling maybe it's time to put him down . But everytime I thought about the idea of us not being together it made my stomach weak and my heart ache and even though he was still alive I was still crying and worried on the week that I came to my decision that I couldn't let him suffer anymore he begin to drag himself around and that I felt was a sign from above to wait I still continued his treatment and a few days later he was walking again ,at first with a limp then kinda sideways . But he was back and I've never felt happier . I think he just had arthritis god bless his soul and god bless you and guliver I hope my story helps a little and my prayers are with you and guliver.

Hi Dear All,

I would like to thank EACH and one of you for supporting me in the past following week. I kept on getting your postings on my cell phone and it made me feel so welcome and surrounded with Yorkie love!

I cremated Guliver and got him back in an urn and I wanted to share with you the picture of his new little home. I though of scattering his ashes near Ontario lake, but I can not let him go. I placed him on a nice small shelf and I feel happy that he is closed to me again.

Guliver - I love you so much. In my dreams, I see you finally run and jump with 4 healthy legs. Thank you for all the love you gave me!!

Me!
