Gavin can't walk anymore :(

[ghggp]

Gavin was super excited this morning when I was getting ready for our stroller walk. He followed me out to the garage and hopped into the stroller with no direction from me. He walked about as far as is normal for him, too.

Strollers are the BEST!
Mr. Chance LOVED going into his too!

and I feel so much better when I can spy on Gavin with my webcam!
He is sacked out like normal in the living room

What an amazing update from the desperation this thread started with. So happy Gavin is moving better!!!

I am totally overwhelmed with how well Gavin is doing. You would never guess he had those issues just a few days ago. He hasn't been slipping appreciably either. So I need to stick to his daily short walk plan. So far we are just going out for potty breaks (not using my postage stamp yard), but he is doing well.

You know, you uplift all of us with these inspiring posts, Cindy. Admiration for both Gavin and you. SO HAPPY.

Very Happy that Gavin is doing so well. You guys make a great Team.. Wishing continued good progress for Gavin

I am just so happy I have more time with him. At his age, everything could lead to the end so I was scared

He is happy too, He's a fighter and appreciates what you do to make his life better. You are a Super Sheltie Mom. I hope you have a lot more time together.

I second what Ron said, Cindy. Every day is a blessing, and I hope you have many more.

I am very lucky. Gavin is and has always been completely continent. His bad leg results in a horrific looking limp, but with throw rugs everywhere he is not limited at all in my house (which is where he spends 95% of his life anyway). It does limit his physical activity, so his walks are of very limited duration and require a stroller if we go anywhere not just around the block, and he needs a wheelchair to fully enjoy the beach. But everytime I see his sweet little face I am reminded just how worth it he is.

This brings a smile to my face…all you do for him! I can imagine how happy it makes him and I would do the same for my dogs. Your the poster child for all that a disabled dog can do!
