So Miss Joan did not make it last night but called & said she will be here today, I will show her Cali's pic's that you posted & see what she says.

If you could post a clearer standing side view that would be great. Still Praying for sweet Cali.

Here's more pics from outside today:

Why do I cry when I see a picture of a sick or injured dog? There is something about them just trying to carry on as usual in the midst of a health crises that just tears at my heart. They are so brave and stoic through the worst things! By looking at those great pictures, you would never know what she has and is dealing with.
Bless her sweet sweet heart.

I just read this entire thread. I am praying for baby Cali. What a little sweetheart! She is so lucky to have you taking such good care of her. I wish every pup would be so lucky. My best wishes to you and your baby for continued improvement in her health.

She's looking pretty good! What a little fighter!

I'm not sure why this didn't post earlier but here's another try.

UPDATE: Cali perseveres. Thank you to all that are sticking with us and the well wishes/prayers.

Here are more pics:

Have a great day, Cali and Mia!

Pink Dog · 03-25-2012, 04:00 PM

UPDATE: Cali ran today. She walked alot. She went exploring around the house without her socks on. I must be careful that she doesn't get overworked but that girl has stamina and drive! I was getting ready in my bathroom in the back of the house while my husband was in the living room with Cali. Next thing I know I see her hobbling into the bathroom to the rug (where she gets a better grip with her back legs). I yelled to my husband..."Where's Cali?" to which he replied...."In here, Oh wait..."! LOL! I told him she had made her way back to me and we laughed.

I love that little thing so much!!!

BlueBelle · 03-25-2012, 04:06 PM

Oh she is a wonderful feisty girl. You go girl!!

Patti · 03-25-2012, 04:08 PM

Doodlebug · 03-25-2012, 08:34 PM
