Happy holidays everyone! Santa Paws brought little man a few new toys, two blankets, a new orthopedic bed, and snacks. We spent New Years Eve taking naps and today we are easing into the New Year.

Started using the small peanut ball today to help support little man while he learns to position his feet. He was having fun bouncing when he turned to look at me. I think he may have been surprised to see his feet on the ground. He is such a cutie ❤️🐶 thanks to everyone who purchased items off the Amazon wishlist! Rocky really appreciates the support and so does his momma!

On our way to meet the neurologist for a checkup. From earlier this week.

Little man got to enjoy some quality playtime.

Hey all, we just got back from a follow up with the neurologist. He is doing better! He has gained 5 pounds and is taking baby steps. The neurologist is concerned that he may plateau. Also what we initially thought was normal puppy play and teething behavior might be a bit more aggressive. The neurologist thinks it is resulting from him being frustrated. He has another follow up tomorrow to look at his back left leg. His joint is swollen and may also be infected. After that he will have a follow up in 4 weeks to assess how much he has progressed. In full transparency, if he plateaus we will have to consider humane euthanasia. We are still holding out hope that he will continue to progress. We will continue to do our all for him in the next four weeks and work with him towards his success.

Hey all! Creed came home Friday night. We are still waiting on the full results to come in. However, what we do know is that the left side of his brain is smaller than the right. Also the muscles behind his left eye are smaller. We are not sure what caused this. The numerologist is almost certain it is from a birth defect and not trauma. He also has a terrible ear infection and is currently on antibiotics and steroids. He has a follow up appointment in two weeks.

Currently he seems to be doing much better! He is standing on his own again. He has even started leaping! Granted he is still very wobbly so when leaps into my lap it is more of a tackle that results in us both toppling over. Also he loves drinking water from the shower. ❤️🐶

I did create a gofundme to help cover the cost of his MRI, spinal tap, and stay with emergency. If you are able to, please consider donating and sharing the link. If you are not able to donate that is perfectly ok. Please keep praying and sending good vibes our way. I also created an Amazon wish list.

Both links are below:

I’m including screenshots of his vet bills. Also two photos of Creed: a photo of him the night he went into emergency and another of him eating dinner tonight.

Hey all, Creed’s new mama here. I just wanted to give a quick update. Creed is spending the night at the emergency clinic. They want to run some test, and observe him. Additionally, they want to prep him for a MRI. Currently the neurologist is booked this entire week, but she is going to try to squeeze him in tomorrow. Hopefully he is able to get the MRI he needs to let us know what our next steps will be. He is not in the clear yet, but please keep sending prayers and well wishes. He needs all the support he can get. We are not going to give up on him. He is a fighter and as long as he wants to fight we will be here with him. ❤️💪🐶

I want to heavily apologize to everyone for not posting updates lately. I have had several stressers thrown at my life lately and have been struggling to keep my head above water. I had hoped that I could get through them relatively quick, however that has not been the case. In that time, I have only been able to really devote my time, money and energy into my animals and baby at bare minimum. And of course Creed requires a lot more care on a regular basis which i have been unable to do the past couple of weeks. Due to me being unable to take him to the last 2 rehab sessions or Acupuncture appointment, and not being able to do therapy at home, he has taken a step back in progress. He is going to a new home today to a wonderful lady who works from home and is capable of taking him to rehab TWICE a week (same location)!! I hope to have her take over this page to hopefully keep everyone up to date on him for a little bit anyway. And I will be shutting down my gofundme and Amazon wish list. If the new owner chooses to create her own, then that will be up to her. I am passing on his items with him, so rest assured that they still belong to Creed!

I am truly heartbroken that it has came to this, but am eternally grateful for everyone who has committed to helping and supporting Creed like I did! And your help has definitely helped me! Had I not of had drastic events happen in my life, then I would still be keeping Creed. But it is just too much right now and he deserves more than I can offer at this point in time ❤ And I have made sure that he is going to someone else that will commit to him equally as much! So just know that he is still fighting!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY FROM CREED!! Watch as he walks, unassisted to the front if his kennel! He does this a lot since moving him to this one 😁 I believe that he is capable of doing this great outside of it as well, though I think he mentally gets overwhelmed and nervous about not having "support" around him (unlike the kennel feeling enclosed) so he struggles a lot more. We have to build his confidence that he can do it on his own!
