As always, thanks for the support, my friends. Tonight I made some inquiries to nearby facilities that offer swim therapy. I'm not giving up! I spoke with my girlfriend to make plans for our annual holiday get together and she insisted on coming to my house (even though it is our turn to go there) just so she can see Mugsy. She said that she wants to see him because, "who knows what the future holds". That is understandable, and I am touched that she wants to be with him. He is a rather disturbing sight to behold, I guess. Yesterday, I noticed a woman at the vet's put her hand over her mouth as she watched Mugsy walk in. To us, it has become the norm. We are just so thankful for every day that his nubby wags. Thank you for the prayers--we should have enough for a miracle soon!

Hi Allison and Mugsy, glad to here that the acupuncture has started. I think that the swim therapy is a good idea for anyone or anything in any situation. It really takes stress off your body and it's joints.
I commend you for reading through this entire thread....I would be in absolute tears again if I did. I commend you even more though for everything that you have gone through and keeping such a wonderful spirit and outlook. That's a very hard thing to do.
We here in the Jones household send so many hopeful thoughts, and wish upon every shooting star that we see for your Mugsy and family to pull through with many more nub wagging, and slobbery kisses to come!

Congratulations on your son's marriage, Cindy! I hope they had a wonderful wedding day.
Mugsy is still doing well considering. He helped me wrap gifts yesterday and told me that he and Shadow would like very much if I let them have the musical Glo-worm that I bought for a relative's baby. We have our second acupuncture session tomorrow and the swim facility has not responded to my email, so I will give them a call this week.
I finally had the courage to hang up the Christmas stockings. I am trying hard not to live constant fear and worry, or to let the "season" get to me. Actually, the past 2 weeks have been really good for Mugs; he is on and off the furniture and playing a bit. He even tried to step on the hardwood floors to check out the new dishwasher. Hopefully we'll continue to see such good things.
Enjoy you Sunday everyone!

Mugsy started swim therapy and did pretty well for the first time out. He wore a life jacket (which I'm sure will be the case for a while since he has no shoulder muscles left) and did some work on the ramp. The acupuncture is also going well and we are seeing some small, occasional changes in the position of his front paws. Hopefully, the new year will bring greater changes in his condition.

Although these are baby steps in his progress, at least they are positive steps and moving in the right direction.
Geaux Mugsey! I know you can do it.
"Geaux" is the south Louisiana way to spell "go"
Does he like the swimming pool?
Positive vibes are coming your way.

Swimming is great! Mugsy has had 5 sessions and seems to enjoy the pool more with each visit. The cardiovascular exercise has made a big difference in Mugsy's respirations and stress recovery time. We are still going to acupuncture once a week. It also looks like his left paw is occasionally trying to get under him the correct way! Boy, I would love to see at least one paw come back to life. I am just sooo relieved that we all made it through the holidays and that things are looking up for my sweet boy. I am going to get some pool shots for the gallery soon.
