Valentine's Day


Valentine's Day is upon us, as well as our youngest grand daughters birthday .. I got this idea to use my Christmas tree year round .. Click on the photo and it will get bigger.

She retracted her foot

I took Molly to the vet this morning to get her nails trimmed .. when the vet tech did Molly's rear left foot she retracted it .. so feeling is coming back .. I know this is going to be slow .. I'm still trying to get a video of here putting her legs out, getting ready to go potty.

There seems to be improvement

I can't explain it .. but it's funny .. when we take Molly out to go potty (she lets's us know) we support her back legs so that she can walk in a small area. When she's ready to go potty .. she puts her legs out, so we lower her back end so she can contact with the ground and sure enough she goes potty. If she's not finished she continues on and out go the legs again, she lowered and she goes again .. now if she finished she goes to the edge of the road which tells us she finished and ready to go back inside.

Molly came off the couch

Just like a child. I turned my back on her for no less than 2 minutes .. she came off the couch (I didn't see how she did it) and dragged her self to the water bowl. Now I had given her water moments before.

She looks ok, but have no idea if she did more damage to herself .. of course she still can't walk and drags her legs .. but she's feisty .. the front half of her is the Molly we all know and love ..

We just hope that she didn't do more damage.

Hopeful Thinking

My husband and I strongly believe that we say Molly wag her tail. We weren't together at the time.

I also belive that I saw Molly stretch out her left leg as I was lowering her to go to the bathroom. It's been a little over a week. I'm not expecting an overnight miracle.

I've been reading all that I can find online and now I'm reading to add Ester C to her daily diet .. I've bookmarked all the places that sound promising .. but will have to wait until next month, which is only a week away.

Today is her last day of Prednisone but will keep her on the Valium.
