One year ago today our oldest lhasa apso Marty suffered a ruptured disc from intervertebal disc disease which led to paralysis in all four limbs and he was rushed into emergency surgery. He was given only a 50/50 chance to pull through due to his advanced age of 12.
He came through, and was pretty weak afterwards. But he never lost his spirit and continued to hang on.
10 days later he still could not stand or walk and the doctor suggested we put him down.
But Marty struggled valiantly and soon began to crawl bit by bit.
By the 13th day post surgery he got up, and today he runs and plays like Marty of old.
He taught me a lot about the power of one's will to live.
Here's to Marty, here's to life.
