Alayne got this shot of Daisy running through the grass outside our house yesterday morning. I say she's "running" although it's more like how a really fast turtle would move because of her spine problems. When Daisy walks she has a distinctive clump-clump-clump sound to her gait -- the shelter she originally came from in Utah had named her "Duckie" because of the way she walked. But whether it's a waddle, a shuffle or something else, you can see from the photo that Daisy can get up enough speed to make her ears fly!

At 1st glance, I thought, wow, RDR now has a Chihuahua! But no, it is the beautiful Daisy. What a joyous picture. Thanks!

What a sweet picture. And Daisy is a much better name. When I hear Duckie I think of the coroner on NCIS!
How are Steve and Alayne doing? Do you ever feel burnout? Do you ever get to rest and relax?

In spite of all the hard work you have to do and the medical worries you have to endure, you also experience such joy on a daily basis. You are truly blessed. And much appreciated, to say the least!

I see a little trend here with Daisy & her names & the title of this blog.
"Daisy Duck(ie)" "Mickey Mouse" All created by Walt Disney. Disney is considered the "Happiest Place on Earth" for people. And RDR, we all know, is the "Happiest Place on Earth" for disabled rescues. As is definitely evident in the picture of Daisy, not only are her ears flying I know I see a smile!
