A little Yorkie needs your help

Basil is being taught to be a giver.....that is from his parents teaching him what is right.....

I've had a thought rolling around in my head for a few months...

I know that the membership looks forward to the GE, however many times a year that occurs...but, I wonder if the membership would forego it one time, donate what they would have spent to a rescue.....My thought is these pups that are owned by great people have the everyday comforts...why not help other pups not so fortunate.

I think I'll run it past Ann and Admin...maybe a poll asking the membership what they thought of it.

I usually don't participate in the GE (believe it or not I hate to shop) but if donations in lieu of are approved count me in.

Gabby is doing fairly well in PT. She is walking on the treadmill with assistance. This past Saturday while I was in the back yard, she got up and walked about 4 feet. I honestly did not see it happen, but I turned around and she was 4 feet from where she had been sitting...and she was standing on all fours! One of the therapists took a short clip of her with his cell phone today so I could see it....I am sorry I did not have him send it to me. It is pretty amazing! She still does not stand much at home or use those legs, but I am beginning to think she may soon.

That is great to hear. I hope we can see a video soon too! Awesome!

Nice video... It really touches our heart. Thanks for sharing it. Hoping that someone can help little yorkie.

Gabby had another good day at PT. She does well on the treadmill but does not even try to walk at home. I asked the therapist if perhaps it is because now she has gotten used to barking at me when she wants something. She said that may be...going to give her another week and if she still is not trying, we might try a little tough love.

Here is a short video from today. I apologize as it is sideways, but it was taken with an Iphone and that is how they come out. You can see they have her on a block...that is to get her to hold herself up with her hind legs. They stimulate her tail to get her to walk. Pretty amazing stuff.
