I hate to be posting this, but I need all the prayers I can get, seems when everything in my life is going AWESOME things like this happen.......Storm started acting weird yesterday before the show,an after that she was fine........This morning when I went to feed I heard a strange dog barking....muffle sounding......to my surprise it was Storm......I hate to say this but Storm has now lost her voice totally and is now losing her strength to stand......she's headed down the same path again......now all I can do is wait for the paralysis to set in.....her lungs are already becoming paralyzed (trouble breathing).......It kills me to know my girl has to go thru this again, but she knows I will NOT leave her EVER.......Please everyone that has stood by me and prayed please do so again...........my girl means more than the world to me.........

To let everyone know.....Storm has relapsed with the coonhound paralysis.....she as of 2 hrs ago can't stand at all now......she can walk if I help her up but for only short distances.......this is going to be another struggle for me, but as long as Storm pulls thru I will try to be there for her........I hate seeing this happen again......I'm taking it harder this time than I did before.....but like me and Christy agreed....the only good outta this is I know how to help her along.....hopefully no surprises....I can't lose my girl......here we go again down the long rough road....but like I said as long as my girl fights I will too....I'll never give up on her EVER!

Woke up this morning with her at around 5....she couldn't hardly breath.....her hindquarters are totally gone now.....no standing, no walking, nothing......but her front end is still functional (can bare weight)....last time her frontend was gone too......but today is the 1st actually day of the paralysis, so who knows what tomorrow holds......last time paralysis hit her a whole lot harder, but this is happening a whole lot quicker....maybe it'll hit hard and fast an leave.......but it's totally different than last time....happeneing the same just in different order..........

First time reading this post... Stopped before writing and sent up prayer to my Lord And Savior...

Coonhound Paralysis; Read up on it before posting this...
Sounds like a tough road ahead...

BUT NO DOUBTS about the care and love she's getting.....
When's she's better bred her and name a pup

SON OF STORM / STORM WHOOPER

Cause I know that girl's going to make it through..

... My heart is truly aching for you... As I sit here with my old bluedawg against my hip... keeping me "warm"... His breathing a bit too shallow... not looking forward to his vet re check tomorrow... He is improved from his first diagnosis of pneumonia... but not where he should be... So I'm feeling a bit sad myself. The harder thing for me is seeing the way Bob looks at Wyatt... SO... I'm thinking a WHOLE lot about how YOU must be feeling right now! We sure do love these hounds... The best thing we can do to help them heal is to reassure them of our love for them. Having nursed animals of all sorts and sizes here... having done hospice care for dogs, cats, chickens and even horses... I feel I have a special connection to the animals in my care. I know you do too as I can hear it thru your writing.... I can tell that although you struggle with it you do NOT let Storm feel it. You are a special person!
I'm going to send as many positive thoughts as I can to you. When Bob comes in from his chores I will remind him to send some as well.... Please remember that we share a connection thru the miles when we share out problems, our good times etc... As much as I HATE technology in some ways I have to thank God for giving it to us as well. As I have lived with my own slight disabilities over the last 12 or so years... I had felt LESS connected than I cared for and... once I found this site I changed my mind alot. Bob and I met people on here, we ended up meeting some of our freinds in real life as well! I've even patted a few of these hounds I've come to love on here....
I guess I'm just trying to let you know that a WHOLE lot of good people are on this site... and your beautiful hound will be in so many prayers but even more importantly YOU will be!
Take care of yourself during this tough time, Heather

Jenn, I hate to hear this about Storm. I know the two of you have a tight bond. I saw that when you had her at the club a while back. And for those who didn't see her, she was the picture of health. Just like in human life, don't take anything for granted because it can all change in the blink of an eye. Jenn, I know you will be by her side and take just as much care of her now as you did before. God bless you and maybe this will be the last time you have to go through this. I commend you for your commitment to this dog, friend, partner of yours. If I ever have one that needs to be loved and taken care of I may just hire you. Sounds like you got a talent for taking care of an ole coonhunters buddy. Again, prayers and thoughts will be with you and your beautiful dog Storm.

New Site Cooner......thank you so much for the prayers.....sometimes I wonder why so many trials in my life......but you never question the one above, but I can't help but do it......

HEATHER......you and your words mean so much to me.....I'm taking it awful hard this go around, and reading what you wrote has made me break down and cry......Storm knows down deep that her momma will NEVER leave her, and to look in her eyes an see how sad she truely is, kills me inside......I can't do nothing but sit by her an let her know I'm here.......this morning I laid in the floor crying to her and she just sat up and washed my face, like momma don't cry we'll be alright, she makes me bawl....I sat on my bed and she wiggled all the way across the floor from her bed just to put her head on my feet, just to be near her momma.......to know how active and truely happy she's been these last 2months has made me realize how much life means to an ole dog.......she expresses herself to me, when were hunting, feeding, or when im yelling at her to leave the neighboring pups alone.....I just can't imagine life without her......Heather, your words are encouraging but it's so tough still having to face the facts that my hunting buddy and best friend is paralyzed.......the first time I just had to deal with it alone, but now I know how to handle it and it seems like its the 1st time it's happened......I thank you from the bottom of my heart, even as broke as it is.....but there will be light at the end of the tunnel....I just have to wait out the storm.....one day at a time......but thank you for always being there with your comforting words......they mean alot....

Thanks Brian for the prayers.......she means alot ot me.......

... please know I read this to Bob and he has added his prayers and love and comfort... We know your pain far too well here. One thing I will add... no matter how much we've struggled with loss or sickness in the past with our critters we BOTH feel strongly that we would not want to live without them.... It is So painful to see one hurting whether we know they will recover or whether we know they will not (as in a Hospice situation...)....
Lots of life lessons learned during tough times... Each of them Must make us stronger....

We will share your sadness and your stresses and do so willingly....
your online friends from afar, Heather and Bob

HEATHER AND BOB....your kindness through your words is comforting...I can never thank you guys enough......I may never meet you, but know you two mean alot to me........you two have both been there for me and know some of the pains I'm facing...I'm glad I have someone I can relate to and express myself to........like you said Heather....technology is a nuisance, but when you use in this sense, its a therapy....you can meet people you would never had the chance to meet......I'm glad there are people in this world like you 2 with kind loving HEARTS! This long struggle may end in a bad note or may be another success story, but with help and support from yall and others...I will cope!!! I have to be strong......a good man once told me that I'm not a quitter and he'll never let me be one......whatever happens was supposed to happen, but I shouldn't question it, but keep moving forward! I hold my head up for my Storm, but my heart is heavy........but I must stay strong again.........

Jen,

I am so sorry to hear about your girl. With all the prayers on here going out to her I am sure that she will pull through just fine and knowing the owner I am sure she is in the best hands that she could possibly ask for. I have often asked myself why things like this can happen to good people but that was before I changed my life and found out that God has a reason for everything and it is not for us to ask why. I know that it is a lot harder when it is your own pet or family member but just keep in mind that if something does happen that God must have wanted to hunt her more than us. Keep praying and have faith and you and your girl will be in our prayers.

Chriss.....thank you for your thoughts and prayers.....they mean alot to me......

Storms now lost the strength to lift her head and facial paralysis has set in......I have to keep eye drops in her eyes because she can't blink.......all I can do is let this nasty disease take it's course.........

You said , New Site Cooner......"thank you so much for the prayers.....sometimes I wonder why so many trials in my life......but you never question the one above, but I can't help but do it......"

Your baby girl will be fine... You're just getting honed up for better
things to come

Questions O.K. No room for doubt....

Believe me when I say I know... I've questioned a bunch....
Family, health, friends passing.

I do know and believe there's reasoning behind it....
Heard all my life when he takes you to it , HE WILL GET YOU
THROUGH IT..

Prayers sent.... Will do so til she's back treeing coons...

New Site Cooner.......your words are comforting and give me faith.....When you post something I have to read it 2 or 3 times, not because I don't understand it, but because it helps me realize.....for some reason you have such confidence and strength behind what you say........makes me stop and think, and to remember hold my head up high.......thank you...honestly thank you.........

Storm's paralysis is now from head to toe.......she's lost the strength to get up on her front end and I can't even put her up on her feet......she buckles.....her back-end just quivers.......the facial paralysis is the worst so far......can't blink her eyes, so I've got to keep eye drops in her eyes......she hasn't ate in 2 days.....but I'm making her drink....that was the only thing that kept her alive last time......I've got hope, but gosh it's hard! She stopped breathing twice lastnight and turned blue, but I did what I did last time......doggie CPR......it's sad but she opened her eyes and gasped hard lastnight after the 3rd or 4th breath.....so I know she quit breathing......but just everyone keep Storm in your prayers.....she's more to me than a dog......she's my companion and friend.........but if God decides to take her.....like Chriss said, "God wanted to hunt her more than me..." I've got to look at it postive.........just keep the prayers coming.......

Thank you Heather and Bob....Storm's still wanting to fight.....all I can do is love her and comfort her and let her know...I'm here like last time and I'll never leave you.......but I think she knows that.....taking her in the morning to the vet to get her weekly steroid shot again...like last time.....it helped with her appetite and helped the swelling in her lungs go down....so no coughing or drooling........let's hope my girl fights like the champ she is.....but IF she pulls outta this.....I may NEVER hunt her again....her life means more to me than seeing a coon..........I know and others know what a COONDOG she WAS.....I don't have to prove that to NO ONE! She's my treasure.......
