Have had some scary time lately with Tammy, my miniature dachshund. Two weeks ago she hurt her back around her hind quarters area. I took her to the vet and sure enough, she probably injured herself jumping onto and off from the sofa and bed all this time. The vet gave her three medications and I've been sleeping in the living room since then, close to where she's made a nest of her blankets on the floor. Just making her take it easy.
Fourteen days later and Tammy is much better! She's still not allowed to try to jump onto furniture, so I've been carefully picking her up and putting her on the sofa so she can be near me while I work. She seems to be satisfied with the arrangement. Here she is from this afternoon:
A very dear friend is in the process of making Tammy a set of ramps that she can use to get on the bed and sofa without risk of injury. Which maybe I should have done a long time ago already.
But for the time being, she is recovered and spunky as ever. She's happy, and that makes me happy too :-)

Feel better little girl =)
Tammy LOVES kisses on her head! Just as long as you know that she's going to kiss you back, and lick you all over the face too :-D
