There's a very special celebration in BiloxiWEEBLES WEEK
Now lots of cairn kids celebrate their 14th birthday, so what makes Weebles so special? Well read his loving Mom's story about how Weebles (as in "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down")
Back before I knew it was not good, we bred our female cairn Tia Marie with our male Dusty. She had three litters - Katie Sue is her daughter and Weebles, a year younger, is her son.
When Weebles was born, Tia shoved him to the side. I made sure he was warm, fed, and survived. But I knew something was wrong. I kept going to the vets with him and being told I was a "worry wort mom".
Well at about six weeks, the vet could not ignore the fact that his little head bobbed like the little things you put on the dash of your cars back then,, and he wobbled,,, and couldn't walk in a straight line. But he was compensating,, he stood in a corner to eat,,, bracing his head into the wall,,, to keep from falling over... he pee'd and poo'd with his front legs splayed out and his head on the ground for balance.
At six weeks he was totally house broken (wish in his old age he would revert! giggle). But the vet did not want to give him shots, worm him or do any vet care for him. Said it was a waste of our time and money as he would not live. We needed to put him to sleep!
Well, our Baby was not getting a dirt nap ... NO WAY. We fired that vet and moved on. Enter Dr. Elizabeth Brown! She fell in love with our little man. Little was known about Cerebral Ataxia at that time but she researched and did a lot to advance what is known,,, all for Weebs! :)
Any time we would go to the vets,, that boy would wiggle down and RUN to whatever room she was in,, and sit by her side wherever she went! They loved him at the clinic and he spent a lot of time there the first year.
So here we are ... 14 YEARS LATER :) ... my little kid survived! And this week we are celebrating our man Weebles!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEBLES!!!!!!
