It really did make my day, because this is the type of thing that I'm looking forward to experiencing with Lexie. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I have a feeling that this little blind Dobe is going to amaze us once she's all healed and adjusts to her new life. :)Courtney Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543935953751212347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808368894272112352.post-91683435670531914502012-07-10T05:23:29.155-07:002012-07-10T05:23:29.155-07:00Someone sent me this nice comment yesterday, but m...Someone sent me this nice comment yesterday, but my fat finger accidentally pushed "Delete" instead of "Publish" on my iPhone. So, I'm going to copy and paste:<br /><br />Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "She's Home!!!": <br /><br />I'm so sorry Lexie had to go back to the ER and that she needs another surgery. Praying for more happy posts to come...would love to hear when she is finally on the mend and back at home. Just wanted to share a word of encouragement. I take my dog to volunteer at a nursing home & one of the other dogs had multiple surgeries that were unsuccessful at saving his eyesight & he is now totally blind. He continues to come & provide pet therapy to the elderly residents. He navigates his way around that nursing home, maneuvering around wheelchairs, med carts & all types of obstacles. And when he is done, he walks out to the parking lot, right to his car, & jumps in his back seat...ALL without hardly being led by his owner. It's amazing! They are so resiliant. They don't let themselves be held back by any self pity...oh the lessons we could learn from dogs! Please take care and don't get discouraged.Courtney Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543935953751212347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808368894272112352.post-58274480585176158732012-07-08T14:44:42.152-07:002012-07-08T14:44:42.152-07:00Thank you, but unfortunately she was only home for...Thank you, but unfortunately she was only home for a whopping 11 hours before I had to rush her back to our local ER, then the vet the next morning, and finally back to MedVet that night. You can read about it in my other blog posts, but she is currently awaiting another surgery this coming Wednesday. <br /><br />:(Courtney Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17543935953751212347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808368894272112352.post-26239181539196767672012-07-07T22:29:38.081-07:002012-07-07T22:29:38.081-07:00We are absolutely thrilled to hear she has come ho...We are absolutely thrilled to hear she has come home and seems to be doing well.

I keep saying this over and over, but I really do wish there was some better way for me to express my gratitude, because a mere "thank you" just doesn't even begin to cover it.

I think all of us who donated are just happy to see how it is all progressing and were more than happy to help (as most of us have been there, or somewhere like it). I'm glad you had the courage to ask for assistance so some of us who are eager to pay it forward ourselves, could. :-) I hope the bleeding stops very soon and all of you (Lexie, Justin, you, and everyone else close who was helping) rest easy from here on out.
