Here's a couple of recent pics of him getting around and meeting our new foal. We recently noticed that slippers, socks, oven gloves and soft toys were not in their usual places but were being found in all sorts of strange places around the house. We then realised that he grabs these things in his mouth and uses them as a sort of "skid" under his chin to help him slide around. He still doesn't like using his wheels but I guess we need to find more time to keep training him to accept them.
and a little video of him getting excited with the Rottis as we get ready for a walk. It's really funny how he bites Dylans leg, and gets no reaction! He is actually using his teeth a bit too much in play, also as a tool to help him climb up your trousers so we're working on that, he is also fascinated by shoe laces and can undo them in a flash as you try to walk past him.

...what a clever guy he is!
and he really looks so happy and full of life. It is a pleasure to see him so lucky and I must say that each time I see the pics or videos of him, I get a warm feeling in my heart. I am so happy for both of you.
I love the photo of him in the meadow, beautiful!
He's looking fantastic, GG, as are your two gorgeous Rottis.
I thought I'd share a couple of photos, one I forgot about in winter (of course) and one taken this last weekend. It looks photoshopped but it really isn't. We've taken to putting t-shirts on him to protect his chest as he hops and slides around the farm and now he gets really excited when the t-shirts come out!
He is adorable and fantastic pictures
Does he have a selection of T-shirts?
She has absolutely no use of her rear legs but does get around and now has a harness and wheels. Right now Christina, the young vet, is trying to raise the money to have her sent to us, we will hopefully only be a foster home for her and we would like to find a permanent home for her here.
Just like Nelson, she is very friendly and immensely happy now she has some sort of life back. Speaking as someone who looks after another diabled dog, I can tell you we get more happiness from Nelson than any of our other animals (and that's saying a lot). Hopefully we can find a great home for Pusha with people who will also get a lot of satisfaction and joy from giving her a loving home. We probably won't be able to keep her (although I know my wife has other ideas) as my wife has a few other animals lined up who are also looking for good homes here.
The link below is to Pusha's facebook page where there are a few videos and more photos and the story of her. Christina is looking for very small donations (just $5 will help) to try to cover the cost of transport here and you can donate on this link.
The first photo was taken when Pusha was first found and the 2nd one after a few months of TLC.
Here is her intro on her facebook page, hopefully her lucky story wiull continue with us on our farm. (BTW, she needed a nappy as she couldn't control her pee but we've been told she has got over that now)

I guess he'll stay away from the electric fences from now on!
And here's another nice photo of Nelson
Poor Nelson - by my oh my, he certainly has spirit! What a game little guy he is.
I love the pic.
(Nelson must have incredibly strong back legs - it really is amazing how adaptable dogs are.)
Any news on Pusha?
