It has been a crazy, busy time at our house. My son's dog was injured recently. We have had him since he was only weeks old and he is very attached to my son. He jumped off a bed and landed funny causing a spinal cord injury. In the beginnning we thought he would have to be put down but we did what we could to help him. He has responded well to treatment and we brought him home today. It will be months before we know exactly how much movement he will regain, but my son is happy to just have him home. He still cannot walk and might not be able to ever, time will tell. We have lots of work to do to help him have the best chance possible.
This has been a trying summer for animals at our house. My daughters puppy was hit by a car earlier in the summer and suffered head trauma. Both kids had to face the fact that their beloved pets may die. Fortunately neither did. It has been a time for me to reflect on all the blessing that have been brought my way. With both kids I was able to be present and provide them with suppport and comfort which is something I never could have done prior to getting clean and sober. In both cases, as we dealt with tough decisions and reviewed all the consequences, it was a time for healing to take place between my kids and myself. Healing is yet another blessing brought into our lives this summer.
