Hi Rowe. You are so beautiful. You remind me so much of my Sherry in so many ways. Sherry was a Shep/Collie mix and had bad back/leg problems. I was her legs for 2 years. She had trouble getting up but when she did, boy could she run. It was only the last 6 months of her life that she had trouble walking so I carried her with a sling when we walked. She was a special girl too. She was with me 15 years. You are very lucky to have a family that cares so much for you. Families that will go out of their way for a special boy like you are hard to find. You're a beautiful baby. Stay sweet and have a happy, healthy life. Hugs and kisses.
