Scout update

Doesn't Scout look like Einstein in that one wacky picture? I gave him an "uppy" to the couch and he snuggled up and made working on my chapter so much easier. 

Moments like this can make me forget how his hind legs aren't working and even wagging his tail is increasingly difficult for him. I'm proud of how this baby has found ways to move--scooting, sliding, stretching--to overcome his mobility issues. And I miss all the things he used to do--join me when I lit the pooja lamps, greet everyone at the door, etc., etc., etc... this list is really long. But I'm grateful for all he can still do--he has the kindest eyes and best snuggles always.

I'm also grateful that the neuro appointment we made last year, which seemed ages away--is now around the corner of next week.

What a gorgeous dog! Oh my goodness, he looks MADE for snuggles.

I'm so sorry about his health challenges, and hope the upcoming appointment provides some answers and solutions.

OOOOOHHHHHHH he's so cute!!!!

My dog is going to be 14 in May and he is sure aging a lot. I'm still full of gratitude that we have him, and he's still happy to be here.

Elisabeth--thank you for getting Scout and the kind wishes for his health!

Nicole--I love your "fuzzy" fellow... I think he and Scout could be cousins :).
