Send Good Thoughts/Prayers for Edward

Hi everyone!

If you're still following Edward's story, please send him some good thoughts and/or prayers. This morning I got this email from his poor dad:

Just wanted to send a quick update to let you know
that Edward had to undergo emergency surgery last
Wednesday. I noticed that Edward was unable to stand
up by himself or use his legs so I took him to the
animal hospital where he was admitted overnight.
After an MRI, they noticed he had a disc rupture,
where part of the spinal cord and appending cartiledge
breaks off and lodges itself into a different area of
the spinal cord, suppressing it and leaving him
paralyzed. He underwent surgery and he's home now,
although in a lot of pain =( He's slowly beginning to
walk again though his recoup will be about 2-3 weeks.

Just wanted to let you know that he's OK and will be
back to normal in a short time.

Edward's dad is a hero for giving him the surgery, and our family as well as Young At Heart is wishing Edward a speedy recovery. Poor, poor puppy!

We love you, sweet-eared Edward! Feel better, baby!

How is the Pearl doing, you Pearl fans?

Well, from her mama's mouth:

Hi Krissy - Pearl is doing great!! She is enjoying
eating the snow and hanging out with me.

Pearl is now living the life that a happy dog lives, with a family who adores her and a mama she can lean on and trust. It's so amazing that after everything she's been through her standing can be summed up as simply "fine!" and have it be totally and completely true. It's boggling.

She's actually just fine.

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

THANK YOU PEARL'S AWESOME FAMILY!

The fact that she's fine and eating snow and just being a normal, happy dog makes me tear up. It's magical.

Pretty, Pretty Pearl!

Pearl's wonderful boys dressed her up as a ladybug for Halloween! Then her mom got a photo of the stunningly cute results. I've posted the photos so you can see her!

And what it takes to get a decent photo of a black dog who is deathly afraid of the camera cannot be described. Way to go, Pearl's family!
