Well, she has been for about a month now but my lazy butt just got around to getting a video up on youtube. For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about, I had a dog that I loved dearly and he passed away but before he did, he fathered one puppy. That puppy looked just like him but she couldn't walk. She had a condtion called swimmer puppy. Well, now she is walking. She just has a little bit of a limp. I got a video today and I put it up on youtube. If you decide to watch it, please excuse the mess. The "dog pen slave boy" went to his mothers this weekend, so the pen didn't get cleaned up. I hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcyXrRIUK2k

I seem to remember you built some kind of narrow walking area to help her. Am I right, well she is doing great. She is cure too...is she lab/ part lab? Maybe you have a future has a vet! or in dog rehab!

I cannot see youtube on my dial up so I will take your word on it. I am glad for the pup and I had no doubt since you are so loving with your pets. This dog has been and will be a joy for you and am glad that the puppy is going to have a good life. Congratulations on this positive outcome.

I have just watched your video! You have such beautiful dogs and The little black pup looks like she is doing really well! I looked at the petloss web site earlier today with my 12yo daughter and we both had a cry and read the story about rainbow bridge. It is beautiful and really did help. Thankyou.

I just watched your video, and Charlotte is absolutely adorable. The limp is not even really noticeable. I am so glad she is walking now. Please give her a big hug for me (and the rest of your children too LOL).

I'm so happy to hear that she is walking, and doing it so well! Does this mean her prognosis is that she is completely out of danger? I wish more people would have the perserverance to deal with animals given a grim outlook.

Awww how adorable is that puppy!! It's great to see things like this when pups are born unable to walk and then against the odds they manage to overcome the obstacles. I'm glad she is walking, she looks to be having the time of her life with the other dogs in there.

That is wonderful to hear that your puppy is finally walking. I bet Charlotte looks just like him and walks like him too. I have never heard of the condition swimmer puppy. I am sure in no time Charlotte will be walking without a limp. I will certainly check out your video as it will be neat to watch and see your adorable puppy.
