MAGPIE IS HOME

I am sorry for the delay in this post.  I got into a small accident on the way to get Magpie (no one was hurt, didn’t even damage the other persons car thank goodness).  I got home just in time to settle Magpie in and wait for Deeds to get off the bus.  I wish I’d been thinking more clearly and filmed his reaction but I’ll just have to tell you instead.

When he got off the bus I leaned down to him and asked him to guess who was here.  He asked who it was and I told him Magpie.  He dropped his backpack down on the sidewalk and sprinted to the front door.  I couldn’t even keep up with him.  When he opened the door she was sitting there by it waiting for him.  He squealed and said “SHES ALL BETTER!”

They are now cuddled up together on the couch and haven’t moved for the past 30 minutes.  Everytime I look over at them I start to cry so I decided it was time to do a blog update.  I had Deeds do a little video thank you for everyone who has been so amazing praying and donating for our son and his miracle service dog.  Our home is full of love and the spirit of the season thanks to so many of you.

Magpie will be following up with her vet since there was an issue with her blood work and liver and we want to make a plan to help her achieve a full recovery if possible and be able to get back to working with her boy.  For now we are humbled and blessed to have her home again and haven’t seen Deeds this happy all week.  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.  From the bottom of our hearts we cherish everything you have all done for our son and Magpie the miracle dog.

Getting Magpie!

On our way to bring home Magpie. We’ll update once she is settled in here at home.

Deeds is going to be so excited!!


MAGPIE IS WALKING!

I just got off the phone with the vet and Magpie is WALKING!  He said she isn’t even wobbly when she gets taken outside and she is looking fantastic.  They are running blood work right now to check some things like her liver, since the toxin is known to damage it.  If all comes back clear we can bring Deeds girl home today.

Deeds did not want to go to school again and I was only able to get him to leave by telling him we would take him up to see her after, how amazing would it be if she was here when he got home?!?

I want to thank the amazing people at Fox 13 News for surprising us and doing that story yesterday.  We have gotten amazing support and reading the messages people have left for us has helped us through.  To all who have donated we say a prayer of thanks for every dollar given to help Magpie and you have made this a holiday season one our family will never forget and want to be able to pay forward.

Hopefully this is the scene we will see after she’s gotten rest here at home:

Heads....

 

...or tails?
