Seamus and the caddie

Seamus whose back legs continue to weaken just doesn't like being caddied around in any way, size shape or form. We have tried but he just stands outside waiting for us to take it off of him. we have tried walking with him but nope, he is not having any of it at all.

Cuiously enough, when it is bedtime, my weak legged wonder manages to run at top speed to the bedroom ahead of his sister, Harper to get the coveted best spot at the top of the bed. It is the only time that he does this. It is like old times. Even swaying as he runs doesn't slow him down. I wish that I could bottle up his energy at nighttime and feed him a dose every day.

We made it through Hurricane Irene with water damage but we and the shelties are just fine. They barely knew there was a storm outside.

Best,
Kate
 
Glad you are all OK! That is something about Seamus and the bedtime race. It's amazing what they can do when there's a goal, LOL. Our Bandit wasn't fond of the caddie either but he did learn that it helped him get up the stairs. I think as time goes by, Seamus will adjust to it and realize it's helping him. Give him a pat for us. Heck, give him a cookie!
 
you can not bottle the energy but if you like you can put a cue on the racing behavior, every time your pup runs to the bed you say " hurry" or whatever cue you want. In a couple of weeks this behavior will be on cue. I don't know if this ever be needed but you never know...
 
Glad to hear that you weathered the storm.

I will keep positive energy running towards you and Seamus. You are such a good mom to him.
