Kathryn called me from Widget's House this morning and said, "I think I've got a 'blog moment' for you ... you should see Timmy playing with his Kong!" So I grabbed the camera and headed over.
Timmy came to us a few months ago from a Denver vet clinic. We were told he was like Allie, our dog with cerebellar hypoplasia who wobbles. He wasn't. Timmy is paralyzed and needs help doing everything. He can't walk, needs to be carried outside to pee and poop, and requires frequent bed changing. Oddly, he actually looks a lot like Birdie, our Lab with muscular dystrophy -- they have the same thin body, sleek head, and long legs -- although Birdie isn't paralyzed at all.
Timmy is an incredibly sweet, gentle soul ... and he's crazy about his Kongs. In fact, Kathryn gave me the headline for this post. When I walked into Widget's House, she said "You should call this one 'For the love of Kong.'"

What a sweet boy Timmy is. He's so fortunate to have landed at the ranch.
