I don't know if anyone else feels this way but usually on Easter and Christmas something always happens. New birth in the pasture, things like that. Always something nice or bad happens on those two days. At least around my house it does.
Well long story short I came home one day to find my 3 month old puppy not being able to walk. She had feeling in her back legs but that was about it. I ran her to the vet and he came up with a bad disk and she probably needed surgery. I had already spent $2000 on one of my little dogs for the same surgery but could not afford to do that again. So we did meds and worked and worked with her. Months went by and we thought of putting her down, but decided since she was in no pain to just let her scoot around. Which is how she got her current name, Scoot.
I decided to invest in a dog cart. She hated it from the get go. All she would do was go backward in it. So I told my husband that we would just let her be. People acted like I was a bad person because I had a dog that couldn't walk and was letting her live that way. Never mind all the time and money I put out trying to help her walk again, but hey. My dog, My house, don't like it, don't come back.
Now to shorten this tale up a bit. This morning was the best morning I have had and probably the best Christmas I have ever had. I walked out the door to greet all my dogs and when it hit me what I was seeing I started to cry. My dog, Scoot was walking on all 4 legs. She was happy and actually walking. I ran inside to get my camera and tell my husband to come look. I managed to get 3 pics. before my camera died. Scoot has been unable to walk for 7 months until today.
This is the best Christmas miracle I have ever had. See Miracles can happen.
Here are the pics. I had managed to take before the battery died. You can tell her bad side from all the muscle loss in the leg. She is also using it just like the other one. Boy I'm so happy. I can't stand myself.
