sometimes you gotta look back to see where you're headed, to see where you currently are, or maybe just to remember how blessed you are. when b was just 6 months old, we went through months of vet bills and visits and an invasive couple of days of testing at UC Davis to find out that B had a neurological disorder and laryngeal paraylysis. this is poor b when we brought her home from the hospital (poor thing was also spayed the same day...)
b was cut up in 3 different places for biopsy areas and was also shaved on her spinal area so that they could gather fluid from her spine to see if her problems were coming from abnormalities from her brain. fast forward about a year and half and b is currently stable. while there is no cure for her condition we have found several ways to keep her healthy and plateau her symptoms.
sometimes i forget she's sick because she's just such a happy little girl. and she's so healthy now. maybe the strongest she'll ever be. so, when i look at these pics, i try to use them to remember how lucky we are to be blessed with such a special pup. i know a lot of folks would have given up on her... and i'm so glad that we didn't.
you've come a long way, b!!!
