Oh Allison I hope those braces help!! They are a great idea to try for Mugsy--it is so apparant that you are trying absolutely everything to help him--you really are an inspiration. Then again, I wouldn't expect anything less from a "Jersey" girl!!;)

I was hoping that you got my e-mail about those boots. ;)

Please let me know how they do. We're rooting for Mugsy over here!

Oh Lori, I am so glad to hear from you! I hope you got my PM last night. I felt soooo bad that I didn't respond to yours sooner. I went to bed troubled over it. Have I mentioned I'm hypersensitive?

Hey Taryn. I'm trying to repent my days of big hair and gobs of eyeliner by being a good dog mom! Hopefully spring will find Mugsy back on the Spring Lake beach strong and sturdy, whether he needs braces or not! Thank you for your kind words.

Hoping for another restful evening and wishing the same to all of you.

Oh the memories you brought back with the hair and the make-up!! Why do I suddenly have an urge to go to the mall?? Hmmm...

Take care of Mugsy boy and whenever he is ready for that romp on the beach, Layla will meet him "down the shore"!!

Hi all; welcome Margo! I had a workshop today and was able to get home early (under the premise that I would do my workout at home, but that hasn't happened yet). The boys were very happy to have a short day alone. Mugsy is all nubby today, which makes the mommy happy. I just uploaded some photos into the member gallery, but they are awaiting approval. Most likely, I screwed something up and they will all get bounced back or lost in cyberspace. I'm really hoping Santa brings a digial camera this year. We had our first snow squall in NJ and it is bitter, bitter, bitter. And still Shadow wonders why no one wants to go out to play with him!

Great news that Mugsey is feeling better. Those prayers and vibes work. I hope that he continues to improve and the braces help him.

Well, the leg braces may not be possible at this time. Mugsy's paws won't flex/extend upwards enough to get them on properly. Also, when we finally thought we had it right, his shoulder didn't seem able to support the leg. We are doing extra therapy paw rub sessions at home in attempt to get the flexibility that Mugs needs. On the up side, Mugsy had a great week. He has been very active and happy--even trying to run and play standing up. Right now, he is on a dog bed by the front door, watching the snow fall through the glass (I have to keep defogging it for him!) It's amazing how much changes from week to week and I hope the trend continues next week. Acupuncture starts Monday, should be interesting. Have a great weekend everybody!

Hi Allison, I'm a new member and just found your post and read it from start to finish. I think you are a wonderful and strong woman. My prayers are with you and Mugs. Please give him a big hug from me & a big slobbery kiss from Rocky. I will continue to pray for Mugs and follow up with his progress.

Hi BW gang! Mugsy started acupuncture today and was a very good boy throughout the procedure. I must admit that I did not get a warm, fuzzy feeling from the doctor, but he seemed to be dealing with many issues today, as his cell kept ringing. I am reserving judgement for next week's visit. He was polite and nice enough, but a little distracted, and left some of my concerns hanging. I made 2 more appointments, but if I am not happy after that, I will find someone else. The reason I was drawn to this particular doctor was that he works at the hospital where Mugsy's neurologist is and he is a neurologist himself. Don't worry, I will not put up with any s#*% from any doctor! I was just glad that he supported my supplementation agenda and didn't give me any new bad news (something that seems to be the norm with any recent vet visit). I get really anxious when we have a vet appointment--so afraid they are going to say,"Wow, your dog is really f#$%^* up." Anyhow, we are still plugging along and hanging in. It's funny, I actually took the time to read my entire thread over tonight and it's hard to absorb all that has happened. Although I may seem to be a strong person, I still cry a lot. Then, I think about those whose babies who have been diagnosed with cancer...and I shut up real quick. They are the strongest ones. I feel more for them than I do for myself or Mugsy. I pray for miracles for all of us every day, just as I pray for long, happy lives for all of our BW friends. Good night to all.

Allison
