Times of discouragement

I realized that this coming month D.U. will have had FCE for 6 months. I know I shouldn't listen to what the doctors and people say, but the statistic show that recovery is only going to get as good as it will in 6 months. Even though last week D.U. was walking and sitting and getting up better than he ever has. Then to make things worse D.U. is favoring his right leg. I think its because the outside of his right foot is used for getting up and its really bruised. The upside is I have been getting D.U. to sit properly and get up from a seated position instead of sliding his behind to the right and getting up on his right foot. Of course I have to use the big guns, (treats). The amazing part is while teaching him to do this he poops! So I started timing my lessons about the time he would poop! Now if I could figure out how to keep him from having to pooop at 4 in the morning! I really want to get him wheels and I am frustrated that we don't have the money to just get him the darn things. So I have an idea. Make gourmet dog treats and sell them to make the money. I figure 300 dog treats at 2.00 to 2.50 should do it. If I would be successful, any extra money I would make I would donate it to Eddies Wheels for someone like me that wish they had the money to help their dog. I have to believe that this last six months something good is gonna come out of it. I look at him and feel guilty that I may have failed him by not doing everything possible for him. I will never get another animal but if I were I would by health insurance for them. Not having the money to help a family member really bothers me.
