It´s been awfully long since I wrote anything to this board and I´m not sure if this is a good time to do it, because such
horrible things have happened. But anyhow small miracles happen all the time and I would like to share it with some people who can understand. I´m not sure if I ever mentioned that I was going to move with my six dogs and two children to a house of my own in the town that was within ten miles of the place where I used to live. I still live at the rim of the forests, but now I have neighbours, roads, regular bus lines etc. in my neighbourhood and I simply love this place. The only problem was that the fence was not ready in time, in fact the guys who were supposed to build it never made it, and like I had foreseen, Little Princess managed to escape and was hit by a car. She had injuries all over her little body, many broken bones and worst of all, there was a fracture in her spine and an injury to the spinal cord. She spent three weeks in the Helsinki University Animal Hospital, she was operated three times and now she has been at home for three weeks. Although she could feel the touch with her hind legs, she was not able to stand or move them even a little in the beginning. We have been doing our excercises every day and practised standing and today was the great day: SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STUMBLE ON HER FEET FOR A FEW SECONDS TO GET A TREAT !!!. Now I feel she might be able to walk again some day. We still have a long way to go, but I hope you will send her a lot of rayzzz to make her feel better. Well, to tell the truth, Little Princess has never lost her courage, even if the rest of us have. She still keeps the younger ones in order and tries to argue with her sister.<IMG SRC="http://dachsie.org/ubb/cwmsmilies/cwm8.gif" border=0>
