Scout is doing so much better!!!! I saw glimpses of her spazzy little personality yesterday! She had two really rough days--Sunday and Monday--it seemed liked the prednisone was no longer working. Her neck was hurting her terrible, she'd walk around with her head crooked awkwardly toward her left side. She'd cry in pain if you petted her too forcefully . . .
But the coolest thing happened Monday night. Our friends Kay and Roger came over for dinner. Kay knows Scout, we've taken walks with our dogs a few times--and she was so moved to compassion by Scout's pain that she did an amazing thing:
Kay got on her knees, bent over Scout's hurting little body, cupped Scout's head in her hands and prayed the sweetest, most heartfelt prayer I've heard in a very long time. It brought tears to my eyes and great comfort to my heart--and the next day (yesterday) Scout was a different dog! She showed signs of wanting to play, she's not tilting her head as much and doesn't seem to be in as much pain . . . very encouraging.
So, this is quite the up and down battle. Sometimes it feels like Scout takes two strides forward and then a huge step back. But I really have seen her funny little spirit emerge since Kay prayed for her. Yeah for God and faithful friends and the awesome power of prayer!
