My Dog Shelby (Poodle/Westie Mix)
Here he is sitting out in the yard, one week after he suffered a stroke at 14-1/2 years old. He has made a remarkable recovery!! He looks a bit out of it in this photo but rest assured that he is now just as much of a busybody as ever, one month post stroke!!! His gait is a bit unsteady compared to before but he is back to his usual routines. [[3months post stroke Shelby is still doing great and we thank you all for your good wishes for him!!]] [Shelby lived for six more months after his stroke and passed away peacefully in my arms, age 15 on 6 Feb 2009.] I got Shelby when he was 9 months old, a few days before his time was running out at the shelter and he was my constant, faithful companion to the very end. We were inseparable. I usually kept his hair cut shorter but when he got to his last year his skin was so very sensitive that I just let it grow out long and gently kept at him with the brush and comb.
