Hey everyone thanks for your prayers for our puppy. He is actually doing much better, and gets better everyday.

First of all we decided (okay the kids decided) to name him Pokey, because he is the slowest of the pack. He is now running pretty well and wanting to play. He does lose his balance still and will fall down, and sometimes when he is walking he shakes his head so I wonder if he is dizzy or something. But other than thay you would never know something has happened to him. His litter mates are all in their new homes and Pokey is getting supper spoiled. Somebody is always playing with him or petting him.

Thanks again everybody.

    Joni, he had a concussion (sp?) and couldn't walk for about a week. We think he fell trying to climb out of his pen, but we don't know for sure. We are so luck he is getting better.
