A Friday funny...
Just to see what she'd do, I balanced a toy on Shyla's nose, just like I balance treats on her nose for her to flip into the air and catch.
Shyla didn't seem surprised by my odd behavior at all. She sat very still balancing it.
Then, when I released her, she flipped the toy so that she could grab it.
She wrangled it into her mouth using her jaws as snow crystals showered down on her.
And then looked at me wide eyed as I cheered her exceptional adaptation of a trick that usually involves a treat.
It's amazing how smart our dogs are!!!
Thanks for all the good wishes for my neurosurgeon appointment. Not surprisingly, the surgeon wants more information before making a concrete recommendation. So, I'll be having more tests and then talking with him again. I wish that the process of making this pain go away would be faster! Of course, with all the delays, there is a chance that my body will heal itself while we wait. However, there's also a chance that I'll lose my mind due to the pain! Quite a trade-off!
I'm going to mostly stay away from my computer for a little while. I'll have some short posts in the near future but not as many as usual. Thanks for your understanding!
Shyla is SO cute! <3 I love those photos! :D
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the surgeon wants more tests! Hopefully they can figure it out soon!
Shyla is one smart pup. I have yet to master this balance things on my snooter. But momma keeps trying.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Buddy
Shyla, you make us smile - you are such a cutie!!! Sorry about the need for more tests, and thus more discomfort, but best to have all the facts first. Wishing so much you could find some relief.
ReplyDeleteShe's so cute! I'm sorry about more tests!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself!!
ReplyDeleteLove Shyla's coat in the sun!!
That does not look like an easy thing to flip and catch! Good job, Shyla :)
ReplyDeleteI love it when our dogs surprise us (in a good way)! One day when my back was hurting I discovered that Piper can pick up her empty bowl and hand it to me. I discovered this by, just for the heck of it, saying, "Piper, can you get you bowl for me please?"
Could have knocked me over with a feather!
Great pictures. Hang in there with the pain. I know it is hard. My doctors tell me the more active you are the less pain you will have but it is going to be harder on both of us. Winter is coming.
ReplyDeleteSmart Shyla!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself KB,, we are right beside you
