Stanley showed a slight improvement in his condition this morning -- when the vet stood him up, he could stand, and take one or two shaky steps. So, we've decided to delay the surgery and see what happens tomorrow. The vet still thinks the surgery is probably the best way to go. Unfortunately, since this is right in the midst of the holidays, we probably have to make a decision tomorrow since they're only doing emergency cases on Christmas weekend.Either way, for recovery he'd have 4-6 weeks of strict rest (most likely in a crate). He's a freedom-loving dog, so that's going to be rough -- he generally hates being crated and hasn't had to do it very much.

Hi guys! mom helped me figure out how to do this. Wanted you to know I hope Stanley will be okay. Gilda Radner once said - if it's not one thing - it's another. You embody that! Love the pics and want to climb in the computer to hug the boys. Miss you and look forward to seeing you all soon. Sue N.
As I look at James in that lovely rocking chair that came from his great grandfather, I can only think, WHAT A MIRACLE!!!
So sorry you have to go through another "endurance test", with Stanley's surgery during this holiday season!
I pray for only the best for all of you during this Holiday season!
