Bman Gets His Wheels!!!!

Today was a very exciting day for us. B Man's got his wheelchair! Of
course we wanted to try it out right away. It took us a few minutes to
to figure out and adjust this new contraption and make sure we have it
fitting properly. That was a little challenging becauseBman kept
wiggling and wanting to move while we were adjusting him. But once we
had him in it correctly, we let him go. Boy, did he take off! He was
running everywhere! I think the whole hospital staff stopped to cheer
him on. We dubbed him "speed racer" during his first event.

We
took him outside into the parking lot so he was free to move about
without obstacles and let him wheel around until he tired. When an
animal first uses a wheelchair it must be done in small time increments
to get their bodies used to it. He used it for about 15 minutes and
then needed a break. He was pooped! It's a new process for him and he
did wonderful on his first try. Most doggies need encouragement the
first times because its a new way of getting around that is not natural
for them.

His second day we took him outside again to make it
fun for him. He loves being out and about so its all about positive
reinforcement. This wheelchair has been a real blessing for him.

His
physical therapy continues to go well and he is getting stronger
everyday. But now that he has his wheels, the skies the limit! His
spirit has always been strong from day one, but I think now he is
really ready to take on the world again. This time, he is definitely
surrounded by love and encouragement from people all over the world.
His story traveled far and touched people from everywhere. It was
wonderful to hear from loving people all over who wanted to help this
one small dog with a huge heart.

At the animal hospital we
consider ourselves animal advocates, we are their voice and we were all
behind this little dog that was just dumped.

At first we
thought he was sent to us to help and make his life better but in the
end, he has proved that he is their to add joy to our lives. He is our
little miracle and we are just so blessed to help orchestrate him
literally getting back on his feet.
Again, that's to everyone for their support. I will continue to keep you updated! ~ AP
