So 3 weeks ago my little Delilah have surgery on her spine. My puppy had been diagnosed with IVDD and after 1 1/2 weeks of crate rest my worst thoughts came true. My little baby had to have surgery or would have to be put down.
Just 10 days prior, I came home from Florida to find her paralyzed. Something that happened in less than an hour. I was told by vets to put her down, but I refused. After a lot of crying and research I bought my little one to a neurologist who told me not to give up hope.
I found Delilah during a time of desperation in my life. I was lonely and lost, not knowing if love or loyalty really existed in the world. Oddly enough, a dog showed me what unconditional love really was. And as I realized surgery was the only option, I knew I couldn't give up on her since through some of the darkest days of my life, she never gave up on me.
Now 3 weeks later, my life revolves on her healing and teaching her how to walk again. And honestly, I wouldn't want it any other way.
The world works in a funny way... Things do happen to make you remember how things were and remind you how amazing things can be.
This is a post about the dog I Named after wha I wanted my first daughters name to be... About a dog that healed me during some of my moat trying times. And how as a human I strive to show/ give her as much love as she has given me
