So last week I barked on about all the sick pets that came to visit. Well, today we got to see first paw, one of the happy endings. We've known Arnold since he was a puppy. Well he's 3 years old now, and one day last week his legs stopped working. Mother said "He's ruptured a disk in his back and it's pressing on his spinal cord. He's going to need emergency surgery to get his legs moving again." Arnold's mom wasted no time in getting him to the nerve-ologist. Arnold had to spend the past two weeks at that clinic recovering from his sleeping procedure and learning how to use his legs again. Apparently, once a disk gets ruptured you forget how to use
your back legs. But judging by the way he was waddling around today, his sleeping procedure was a success. Those dachshunds have such short legs it hardly seems like anyone would notice if his legs didn't work, but I guess Arnold would notice.

I could hardly keep my tail from wagging, I was so happy for him. Way to go Arnold!
