Hello to everyone, first I want to thank everyone for there wonderful
thoughts for the crew I got in.  I am trying to reply to everyone, but
it is taking time. :-)
 
So far 3 have been adopted.  The others are doing well and gaining
weight, aside from one.  One little old guy came in under a pound and
unable to move.  He can not move any of his legs at all.  Tests have
shown no reason, we suspect a major storke.  I have been feeding him
every hour and also doing exercises in the tub to help his legs to no
avail.  He has put on weight but still can not move.  It has been decided
to give him one more week and then I have to make a decision I hate.  I
have only made that choice 2 other times in ten years.  But he has no
quality of life.  If it is possible he is worse then Brodie was when we
got hime in.  At least Brodie has leg function.  I refused to give up on
Brodie though I was told to and now he is a healthy 2.3 pounds of fluff
and love.  He is the best, he is now our shelter mascot since he stresses
so easy away from my daughter, he loves that 3 year old somuch.  I do not
want to give up on "old man Barley" but think if he has no motion after
another week I may have to, it breaks my heart.
 
Well again thank you for all the good thoughts and I will update again
soon.
