WOW look what Mum saw !

Mum had not gone on to our pages till late to day as she had something real important to tell my Pals.....

THEN she saw I was "Diary of the Day"...WOW WOW WOW....two great things today....

A BIG BIG Aussie Thank You for my lovely rosettes and Paw mails, from my sweet Doggie Pals....

And the other news is Mum has put a video of me .........

WALKING.....Yep....WALKING.....

Not very far, but I am MOBILE....

I do have a curve in my back when I do walk,and my back leg goes outward, and one of my front paws is a bit twisted. I have tried to run...not a good idea.I thought Mum was nearly going fall over herself when she went to grab me !!!BOL BOL

I can't and won't be able to walk up our stairs, so the ramp is still on the agenda....
So is the wheel chair, but now I think I wont mine having one then Mum wont have a "fit" if I take off and run !!!!!

The only thing I do miss is being able to jump on the lounge with all the other furs, and all my Human family.....

BUT..... I have them train..I bark until they HAVE TO lift me up, BOL BOL BOL.....

Next best thing to walking......

I have some good news.
First my Pal Sydney suggest that I try some water therapy. Will Mum said we dont have anything like that near us, BUT we have the beach, so Mum & Dad have than me there for a swim....lucky I like water!!

Now the really good news.......I'm getting up and pulling myself around.....
Mum does not even have to wipe...you know where !!!! as I stand long enough for the "action" to happen. BOL BOL

I also have feeling in my toes & tail when Mum squeezes them....

BUT I'm still naughty as I take myself down the stairs.....I'm to quick for Mum to shut the wire door so I can't get out !!!

But the only problem I keep forgetting when I go down I can't get Up.......now I have that covered....I just keep barking till someone gets me.....

Mum said I will still need the wheelchair, but then I will be able to go for walks again.......Hurry up Mum...I need my Chair !!!!

Just a little date.

Mum has taken me out on to on our lawn. I can drag myself around...and it is soft on my tummy. The old back legs still really not doing what I want them to do......

I still have my doggie play pen..still DON'T like it...Tonight I barked so much that Dad took me out of it and sat on the floor with me....

Mum said we are going back to the Dogtor in the New Year....for another check up....and work on a plan for me.....I heard Mum say there is a chance that I will probably have a new set of wheels. If it does happen My Lara said that she would make me look PRETTY.....

WHO ...ME,...PRETTY....NEVER....Handsome..yes, BUT pretty....
Wonder what she would do..NO NO NO....one of her favourite colours is.....P I N K .......

I dare not think about what she could do....

OH PLEASE LEGS get working....pink is for NOT ME !!!!!


Mickey's Mum here....

They say family is always there for you..

Will, the Dogster Family, I and all My Furs have are just so wonderful.

I have had wonderful letters of help and support with Mickey's problem.

All I can say is "Thank You" and it just feels not enough....

The news...

I went back to the Dogtor, and we got not to good news. He told Mum & me that he would expect some movement, but no....**sad**

I have to go back in a few weeks again....
I'm still on "bed" rest..it still not much fun.
Mum made me some nappies, to wear when she goes out....to help me not to be so messy while she is away.

Just between my pals & me I heard Mum & Dad talking about a doggie cart......have to wait and see....

Diesel still wants to play..she just does not understand...

Mickey's Mum.....
I just can' t understand how wonderful Dogster pawparents are...when you need a little help or just some kind words they are there....just to totally help you.
....just wonderful wonderful help and making you feel you are not alone.....

Over all Mickey seems to be happy....which is really good...

Three and a bit Days....

All I can say to start with is a Thank YOU again..I know I keep saying it but what wonderful friends Mickey has **smile**

Monday & Tuesday nights I slept on the lounge out in the family room with Mickey...First night did not get to sleep till after 1am....not good...gotta get up at 6am for Diesel..Tueday was not so bad asleep by 11pm..
Mickey would settle but not sleep...just stayed awake..
Last night we put him in our hallway next to our room..thought that would be better.....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

He cried on and off for will over a hour....he wanted to come and sleep with the other doggies on our floor.....
It broke my heart, I don't know how many times I got up to him for a pat, and 'Good Boy" talk...

Every time when he needs to be cleaned up and bedding change, he tries to make a "drag" for it....but he does not get very far....

Diesel misses playing with Mickey...she tries to pull his tail to get his attention, or pokes him with her nose to get him up....We all wish we could tell Diesel what is going on....

I know it is early but still no feeling....I give his legs and back a nice rub..he just lays there..think he likes it..being pampered !!!!!

I suppose the only good thing is he might loose a bit of weight..he is now 20kg ( about 44lbs )even though him & Taylor eat and ?run around as much as each other...

With Mickey like this, there is a bright side.....the "wobbles" under the arm I have **smile*** migh get a little tight..as my daughter said GO mum you are getting Muscles !!!!

We are doing revonations to our home, my Hubby & I thought now might be a good thing to but ramps in. We have a back door and a side door on our house, one has 3 steps, the other 7 steps....If .....no WHEN Mickey gets to walk again, it might be a better idea rather than have steps for him. Also we have Nikky & Wags..nearly 13, and Snoopy & Daisy are stating to show signs of a little stiffness.....

All I can do is pray, that something good is going to happen....I try to keep an open mind, but boy it is hard......

With the way Mickey is and the way he has to live at the moment it is very sad, but I find it sooooo much harder and sad at not seeing his tail wag....his eyes seem soooo unhappy at times....

Don't know how we are going to get though this.....

Will every morning we get early...before Diesel arrives. This morning I looked at Mum and did not want to get out of bed....sometimes I don't.

but this morning was different.... My legs would not move very good for me... to walk...

Mum carried me out side and I was able to waddle and do what had to be done...

Then she carried me up stairs, put me down and I waddled again. When Mum came to check on me I could not walk at all.

I saw Mum look and Dad and said..NO..he's a Corgi..it can't happen to him......

Mum rang the Dogtor, and we saw him this afternoon.

We were given not the best news I have slipped some disc's....
I am now paralysed from the middle of my back down.....
Mum & Dad were given all the good and bad things about my condition....

Now it could get better in a few days, weeks, months, or not at all.......

Mickey's Mum here....

We have to keep him as still and quite as possible. We have him in a doggie playpen..he is NOT happy, you can see in his eyes. I wish I could tell him all is going to be alright but...... Him & Diesel are best buds, so it is going to be even harder on Diesel with out his play partner......
I'm going to start some heat and massage on his back and legs, I'll try anything......
He is in our family room so he will not miss out on anything. Tomorrow we are going out to the local RSPCA charity shop and get a collection of sheets & blankets for him and he also has bladder & bowel non control, and am guessing there will be plenty of accidents.....
Also thought we would get some cow hide chewie's for him, as he won't be doing much at all.........
I can see this is going to be along haul, but I'll do everything that I can for him...He's my baby....just like all the others..

FAT ...ME...NEVER.........Will maybe....

My mum has been painting inside our house, Dad cant help something like he has to go to work.....I think it is that he does not like to paint very much....BOL...
Any way, because of this Mum has not been on the computer for a little while ***sad face***
But I want to say Thank You to my pals for the lovely emails and rosettes, fror my birthday, They were GREAT.

I got some extra chicken in my dinner, BUT I did not get any FULL cream milk, I got LIGHT milk......

Would you beleive Mum said I have OVER weight ! ! ! ! ! !
Will guess what Mum,you feed me....Oh sometimes I do clean the others plate up before Mum has time to pick them up after dinner ***SMILING***

I told her it is because I'm male and need the extra weight to protect my family.....
You wouldn't'guess...she does no beleive ME....! ! ! ! !

SO now I have to do MORE walking..that is not all that bad as Dad has a Tummy like mine, and Mum said he needs to loose it also......

SO off we go....first stop the corner shop for an icecream....will it can get thirsty walking....BOL BOL.....

I'm all grown up ! ! ! !

This is a very personal story but I just had to share it .....

Every where we go at home Mum seems to have her camera or phone in her hand....

Don't know if she is just "stalking" us or she just love taking photos of us because we are SPECIAL.....BOL BOL

Will every morning when mum gets up she calls out "tootie run". We all file out in a orderly fashion...will not really it's like MOVE accident going to happen......

Will, this morning Mum just HAPPEN to behind me and as I was doing My "thing"... She yelled out to our Dad ...

He came running out and thought something terrible had happen to one of us....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nothing happen....

I just did what a boy doggie does when ...plants need some watering......
BUT BUT BUT this time I did the BOY way..your back leg at a salute and let fire.....

You see this is the first time I have EVER done this......always thought is was soooooo much easier dong it ...will like Daisy, the girl way !!!!

I did not even have time to complete the "task", then Mum came and gave me a big pat on the head......and when I look at her I was sooooo NOOOOO camera ..can you imagine what you would feel like if you had a photo taken when you were doing......any way, I got to finish and just walked off....

Now I know I'm nearly 5 years old, but I really had NOBODY to teach me the finer parts of being a boy doggie, but then Waggie came and I have learnt sooo much from him....

You may ask about Tripod...will he does try sometimes but he has fallen over a few times...and for Snoopy....he just can't make up his mind..a saulte or a throne way......

WOW ......what a morning....

Will Belle & Diesel have just gone home..and now for a rest.....BOL BOL...

The three of us run so much around the backyard that I think I now have a "male waist" line now....no fat tum tum for me.....

Just a thought...if my waist is getting smaller...and I KNOW it is...does that mean I can eat more dinner at night.....had better have a little bark in Mums ear !!!!

Back to Belle, she started to do a page for her last night but they arrived, so she had to stop...will looks like I know what Mum will be doing tonight !!!!!!

Play Time

Will found out the other day is that Nikky likes to play...YES likes to play.....BUT there is a BUT..

Mum said I play a little to rough with her and might hurt her ..
not that I mean to but I am a lot heavier than her....so what Mum does is when we start she keeps me in line and if I HAPPEN to get to rough she tells me and we start again....

Wags does not play like her but he likes to chase a ball.......

BORING.....

So Mum & Dad throw the ball for him.....

Our Belle has not been around for since they have been here as Mum wanted them to get use to all of us first....I heard her speaking to Our Daniel today and I think he is bringing her around in a few days to a "meet & greet" so when she comes to play WOW WOW WOW we will have so much fun the three of us......
