Last night right in front of my eyes Reeses slowly became paralyzed. I saw him walk for the last time as he tried his best to follow Peanut in the backyard. Reeses can no longer walk, or stand with his back legs. This morning the vet made me rush him there to see if maybe just maybe he could be saved but no it is to late and we can not afford the $5 - 8,000 surgery. He isn't in anymore pain and just because he is paralyzed doesn't mean he can't live a wonderful life. We now need to get him a wheelchair, and I have to help him go to the bathroom, but he is still going to have a wonderful spoiled life with us. He is his normal self today after a long night of him scared to death, we are both tired, but tomorrow brings a new day with our new life.
