One step at a time for Joeri

Today, for the first time in 5 days, Joeri started to improve. He has a very long way to go but he started to go to bathroom on his own. He also started to attempt to use his hind legs. Now we have some grounds for hope! Also today he looks much better than yesterday, he is all stretched on the blanket, has asked for tummy rubs, and his eyes are bright and happy.

Tonight I am working on a 2013 calendar with wirehaired dachshunds. I have gone through many pictures, which I took in 2012. I have come across this portrait of Joeri from March 2012. What a beautiful, soulful dog he is!
