Summer Time Senses!

It was about 8:00 pm, sun painted the sky orange and red. The irrigation was one and the sound of the spray hitting the cedar trees was spectacular. The water stirred up the smells of the field of corn and the wet grass. The breeze would blow my way and the mist would cool the air and my skin. Bullfrogs singing at the sound of rain! Mosquitos out looking for their next prey! Gotta take the good with the bad. I hope I never forget the wonderful senses of the country.

Stuck like glue

Is it healthy that DU is so reliant on me? He wants to be with me where ever I am. I feel sorry for him that he is soo needy. I can't go from one room to the next without him following me.

Progress Report

D.U. has had 5 acupuncture treatments. It takes us about hour for the treatment. D.U., I beleive he likes it! I can't believe he lays still for that long. Dr. Wade does electro acupunture and laser acupuncture each time. I pray that this last treatment really starts to make significant changes. I really can't continue to keep paying for these treatments. Dr. Wade assures that the Chinese medicine should be beginning to take hold. He is really bending his legs and striding alot more. Sitting down he really takes his time. I wonder if he is stiff or if he just doesn't want to fall. Chinese medicine is for his hind legs and incontinence. I think he is having less accidents. Some days I get sad... I really don't want to be caring for a handicapped dog for many years to come. Then I think about him and if he evers feel sad. I know he is mostly happy but very reliant on me. I hate that. He won't even go outside by himself. We take two walks a day in his wheels. He looks forward to it but then he wants to come out of them and lay in the yard while I weed the flower beds. We are usually on a schedule for the potty. Most nights he goes all night without an accident and his belly band is dry in the morning. I know he is getting better but it is so slow I don't see big changes over night. I never imagined tht I would be going through all of this for a dog. Love him.
