Wow! I can't believe it's been a whole year since Rory had his decompression surgery for Syringomyelia! This time last year I was a basketcase and you all who were there with me have no idea how much your support, thoughts, prayers, and encouragement meant to me. It was always a comfort to know I could come here and share updates on Rory, news, and my grief - and always receive encouraging words and nice thoughts for me and the Rorster.
Today - one year from his surgery - we are back in Seattle (where he had the surgery), but this time his head is fully haired and he was running like a champ at the fabulous big muddy dog park up here. I was so happy to watch my boy fly. This time last year, I didn't know how many months I'd have left with him. I really didn't think he'd be with me now.
He got filthy filthy, so he got a bath following. But here are some pics of his high flying adventures!
Soooooo dirty.....
Running with his big sis, Shiloh:

With my sister's Newfoundland puppy:
On the drive home:
The gang (minus 1 more newf in the background)
And just some pics from a year ago, after his surgery:
Thank you all again for your support over the last year and a half as we've dealt with this devastating disease. I am just so so so proud of my little boy. He is my hero and I wish we could all enjoy life to the extent he does - with such joy and carefree abandon. Living every day like it's his last, yet also as if life while never end.
