Dogs: Pete: something new

[Sheri]

I am so excited that I had to share this with people who care. I just got home from work and let Pete out for a pee. When he wanted in he came to the deck (which has one step up) barked, was standing on all fours, put his 2 front feet on the deck and pushed himself up with his rear legs. I know this may not seem like much but it is the first time that he had enough strength and control to push. He stands when he wants treats or when he feels like it but 85% of the time he still drags himself. Mornings seem to be the best time for Pete he seems to do more walking when he first gets up then the rest of the day. We just take one day at a time and are grateful that he is health and happy.

GO PETE...
Isn't it great when they get your attention to show you something new they've discovered they can do?!

Sheri- Are you kidding? Celebrate every victory, absolutely! Pete is continuing to make progress and that is WONDERFUL! Heck, when Tinker was able to raise his tail 1/2" I was telling everyone I knew who would listen!

There's no telling what that boy will end up doing!

The LITTLE things to others who are not "special". They don't get it! What are THEY MISSING! This is HUGE!
Congratulations, Petey Boy for makin mama and all the rest of us DO A HAPPY DANCE.
I know you are silly happy. We take it moment to moment. If he back slides, you have THIS to encourage you. He CAN do it! He WILL. With your love. And ours.

Absolutely wonderful! I share in your joy, each and every little bit of progress is a reason to rejoyce, and this sounds like a BIG reason. Thanks for sharing with those of us who are sometimes getting discouraged, we find hope in your progress (at least I do.) This website, and everyone who posts their accomplishments, keeps me going when I start to think sad thaoughts. Keep it up Pete!
