You are so lucky to have Silly Sidney. My beloved Mitch passed away on the 11th October 2007, aged only 8 years 10 months. He had been paralysed from his hind legs for 5 years, but I still took care of him and gave him all the love I could give. I came across this website and I can't stop crying ever since. I come from Malta, a little island in the Mediterranean Sea (Europe) and they don't operate on dogs with spinal injuries here. So instead of doing what others told me to do that is euthinise Mitch, as there was no hope for him to walk again, I clung on to him and looked after all his needs, including helping him to do his things as he could not do it on his own. He felt nothing from mid back down to his tail. Didn't even wag it anymore, which I missed terribly. Today I wish I lived in America as I know there is hope for dogs like Mitch to be operated on and have a full recovery and walk again. But unfortunately I live too far and now it is TOO LATE. If I lived there I would definitely adopt a Doxie from this Duchshund Rescue Centre for sure.....and not only one!!!!
