Hi and welcome to the group. I am Marsha and I am owned by 5 chis and a host of other pets as well as 2 skin kids.
How lucky Mija is to have you! I had a chi that had a stroke when he was 11 and for the next 4 years, he was unable to walk. He would pull/drag himself for short distances, but for the most part, I had to carry him and set him down to potty or beside his bowl to eat, ect. Many people told me I should have him put down, but you know what....he was HAPPY!! and that is all that matters. He may have been physically limited, but he lived a rich life and was the apple of my eye and very spoilt. In fact, I think he was happier after the stroke than before because he got so much extra special attention. So I applaud you in looking beyond Mija's limitations and looking to her abilities!!! Send us some pics, and again, welcome to the group!
