My cousin Tripp...

Here is a quick update on Buddy's progress this week:
  • He goes to the bathroom on his own completely now.
  • He has learned how to sit on his butt and using his front legs he scoots around the kitchen as fast as if he was walking!
  • His so-called diaper-rash is completely cleared up now that he can control his bladder.

One day this week I hope to catch a short video clip of his little 'scooting on his butt' trick, it is so cute!

On a more serious note, the lesson Buddy shares with us is to "adapt and over come adversity". He doesn't worry how silly he looks or worry if all the other dogs will laugh at him, nope he has figured out how to do all the things he likes to do in spite of his physical limitations. What he can't do on his own, he figures out how to get me to do it for him! (smart dog)

My sister Michele's dog Tripp is starting to lose his sight. Please send her and Tripp positive thoughts and prayers as they adjust to Tripp's "special needs". Since they live 3000 miles away, I put up a special Blog for her and Tripp. Michele; thought you might have some fun with this Blog. Putting Buddy's site up and the positive feedback from everyone, has given me the strength to do take Buddy through another difficult rehabilitation. You and your family are in my thoughts & prayers, love you!
