Regular visitors will recall that our little Terrier dog, Toopie suffered a stroke in the early hours of December 1. I thought that his doctor would put him down, because he was totally incapacitated. The doctor kept him for a week, and we have been working with him since then. Toopie could not stand on his own, but could stiffen his legs and stand with help when he came home from the vet. We have been working his legs and he began crawling on his own. He has started walking after a fashion during the last week, and his daily progress is surprising. I don't think he will ever negotiate steps again, but if he continues to improve, he will be able to spend time outdoors with Jack and HeyJoe when spring arrives.
It's great to see his progress, and I hope it continues. Toopie's a lucky fellow to have such a caring human family.
