Oh Kim the video is precious. I, too, didn't think it was sad but rather just showed a little girl wanting so much to be in her mommy's lap. I am sure that would be Ripley's attitude if he was in AnnaBelle's situation. There have been some good ideas here and, I think, some encouragement. I would definitely not be discouraged at this point. I can imagine that it would take time to learn to walk with such a cumbersome device. AnnaBelle is a sweetheart and we are all rooting for her. Your other dogs are all so cute and little Dottie is so sweet for being so attentive to AnnaBelle. Please tell AnnaBelle that Ripley sends her lots of slurpy licks and wags. Kim, I wish I lived closer as I would love to visit with you and all of your doggies and kitties. What a sweet family of furkids you have.
