Dixie Belle took her last dose of meds on December 31st and "graduated" today. She continues to do well and is still pain free. I am still going to continue with the crate rest but not 100%. I am going to start taking her on short walks tomorrow. She loves her crate so much so I am going to let her stay in it most of the time. She will always continue to sleep in her crate verses sleeping with me. I still take her outside using a leash and will always continue doing that. I will never let her loose in the back yard and she will always be supervised. The only time she is really out of her crate is when I am holding her or when she is walking around the kitchen. I will post some pictures of her this weekend. Thanks everyone for all your thoughts, prayers, encouragement and much needed advice. Aimee (Dixie Belle's mom)

Congratulations on graduating! I'm sure Dixie will enjoy her short walks. May she have many years of happiness and no IVDD episodes ahead of her.

Thanks Paula and Marjorie. I too am so glad she is doing better and does not need surgery. She is the love of my life and I also hope that we have many years of happiness together and no more IVDD episodes.

Thanks for the compliments ya'll. I cherish every precious moment with her and I love having her back in my arms again. She did not like the birthday hat at all but she looks so cute in it. She was glad to see it go away. She is a sweetie and is the love of my life.
