Nellie just scooted across the floor at lightning speed, dragging her motionless hind limbs behind her when B came home from work! She got as far as the stairs before I caught up with her! Little devil!
That was totally unexpected, as I had her out of her crate to do some physical therapy. When B came through the door, there was no stopping her from doing what she always does - the Dachshund greet-fest. Here I am, an able bodied human, unable to catch up to a crippled Dachshund! She was just about to try going up the stairs before I caught her, thank God. That was a heart stopper.

Yay, Nellie! She's a feisty little girl. :)
Posted by: Kelly on October 20, 2002 09:05 PMThere are days...oh so many days...when I wish I could control the "dachshund greet-fest" just a bit.
I have to go through 10 minutes of boingy-bouncy-boingy- your-face-is-mine boingy-bouncy-boingy with the Hoont.
Good to hear she's moving around though.

Posted by: Suzy on October 21, 2002 08:30 AMYay!!! That is such a great sign about her spirit. It seems like she is not bothered in the least about her little cart!!!!! I am absolutely confident that she will make a speedy recovery!

She wasn't IN a cart when she dragged herself at greyhound speed across the floor! We don't have a cart for her yet. Ha! I thought for sure when she got to the stairs it would be back to the hospital time, but she seemed absolutely unhurt afterwards; only tired! :)
Posted by: Tess on October 21, 2002 10:44 AMHehehe, good to hear nothing is getting in Nellie's way.
Posted by: Carrie on October 21, 2002 12:42 PMTess, I can't tell you how happy I am for Nellie. I've actually got tears in my eyes!! Nothing is going to stop her!
