Today we had to make a BIG decision on this little guy~ WE had a very emotional night and met as a family to decide what would be the best for COSMO..

He slept well in the night (even though mom and dad didn't do well with the worrying on him) When I took him out this morning the fellow couldn't even walk on his back two legs and the right really buckled, I had a strong feeling to come in and call Dr. Lamb's office and get who they had referred us to last time we had the back go out. I called and was so impressed from the beginning on how the vet would call Troy and consult him over the phone, it wasen't long and Troy was on his way for him, and was headed to Salt Lake to see Dr. Law it was what we had expected and he felt strong that cosmo was loosing his back legs and that it was very necessary to do the procedure, he told Troy that he wanted to get a better look so he headed up with Cosmo to the U of U to confirm with the MRI, I drove and met up with Troy we grabbed a bite and talked, it was a emotional time for both of us if we were doing the right thing for COS..

Troy was very set on that it was only fair to Cosmo to do the surgery, we didn't want a dog we would have to push in a cart and so we went for it...I'm posting some shots of why we did this Surgery, this little guy is our LIFE... His the first thing that we see in the morning and the last thing we kiss when we go to bed... The saying a DOG is a MANS BEST FRIEND really is true, cuz this little fellow is our best friend to all of us... We finally got word around ten tonight that he was out of surgery, it went well, he had a very big herniated disc, even bigger then they expected, he had a lot of bruising in his spinal cord, with a bloody hematoma in the same spot putting alot of pressure on the spinal... no wonder the poor guy was miserable, with the way Dr. Lamb saw him in surgery he worries if will get the back right leg back, but the pre~exam he did he feels good with it, so we are not out of the woods yet... we still need prayers...they will keep him for a few days, we are anxious to hear how he does through the night... I did go see him before the surgery they had him all prep and ready to go, he was pretty drugged up from the MRI but as soon as he heard mine and troys voice he wagged the tail and knew it was familiar, he opened his eyes and got more excited we tried to calm him and let him know he was okay and we loved him... they couldn't believe he responded so much to us, they say usually with them drugged they don't respond to FAMILY, but we knew this little guy knew us well and knows we are LOVING him all the way through... it broke my heart when he had a TEAR in the eyes looking up at me... COSMO we do LOVE you and your in our HEARTS and PRAYERS... Can't wait for our WALKS.... xoxo
