This song came up on our echo the other day and all I could think about was how appropriate it seemed given everything that's been going on with Sully for the last 2.5 months.
Just 5.5 short weeks ago, he couldn't move those back legs AT ALL. Now, he's trying to run.
I've always said that he's a lover, not a fighter, but it turns out my boy is most definitely a fighter ❤️

🎄 A Christmas miracle! ❄️
Yes friends, it's true! Yesterday I got to go on a short wheelchair adventure downtown with my buddy @theproperwolfhound and see allll the holiday decorations (and make a quick pit stop at one of our favorite places, @oliver_bentleys!). 🍪
We did notice that we had to be mindful of where we walked as some of the curb cuts had chunks missing from the asphalt in the street in front of them, or they weren't completely level with the street, which I could see being very frustrating for people who utilize wheelchairs as their sole means of getting around. Thankfully, we were able to make our way around those or lift Sully as needed, but this isn't always possible for others.
Overall, we had a great little adventure and Sully was able to walk around his usual stomping grounds, which made him so happy! We're working on building up the muscle that he's lost so we can continue to go on adventures and hopefully be out of the wheelchair soon enough! 🤞

Day 1 of trying out the @walkinpets wheelchair!
We have to make some adjustments to the device, but after a little confusion, Sully has mostly figured out how to control it. We'll keep practicing everyday until he gets the hang of it!

This might seem like an odd video to post, and I fully understand if people were to scroll on by...however, I know some of you will see this and be just as excited as I was when I filmed it earlier today.
Today is Tuesday, December 3rd. Sully has not consciously moved his back legs or tail since the very early morning of Friday, November 29th. They've twitched and moved in dreams, but he has had no real control over them - until this afternoon!
When I got home from work, he was hanging out in his makeshift rest area. As soon as he saw me, that big old tail started thumping on the floor 🥲 later, my siblings came over (separately) and his tail wagged and thumped in excitement to see his auntie and uncle 😍
After, as I used the little electric clippers to clear out all the extra fur on the bottoms of his hind feet and in between his pads, he suddenly jerked his foot away! I started recording moments later, to keep a record and to show the doctors. When I continued to clip his fur, he moved his legs away from me several more times (and before anyone asks, no, I didn't cut him). This breakthrough has given me more hope that we will come back from this!

It may not have been FastCAT, but I did somehow manage to win my heat during the races at today's @humanesocietysav Doggy Carnival!
Thank you @jonathanboppenheim for making me look like the star of my own movie! 😎

Today for National Take a Walk in the Park Day, we took a quick trip to one of our favorite places, Fort Pulaski National Monument!
Not only are they dog friendly, they also offer Bark Ranger tags (so be sure to ask the Park Rangers for one once you're inside the Fort!). All dogs must be kept on leash and under control during your visit, and the only spaces off-limits are the Visitor Center and the gift shop.
You can also walk the Lighthouse Overlook Trail for a view of the shoreline and the Cockspur Island Lighthouse. You may come across some old ruins that were part of the Fort's old village if you choose to walk the North Pier Trail.
All in all, it makes for a fun way to spend an afternoon. We can't wait to go back!

...that the Georgia State Railroad Museum is dog friendly?
Today we took advantage of our Coastal Heritage Society membership and checked out the trains! Cousin Ben, another train afficionado, tagged along for the adventure. Though dogs are not allowed inside any of the cars or engines, we were still able to check out the exteriors and learn lots of interesting information during a quick tour. It was a fun way to spend a few hours on a warm afternoon and we can't wait to go back!

Just 45 short days until the Savannah St. Patrick's Day Parade steps off and celebrates its 200th anniversary! We are so grateful that the Parade committee allows us to march in the parade each year and can't wait to see you all!
Who will be screaming our names when you see us walking by? 🍀
