A new song from fun.’s debut album “Aim and Ignite” which is available now in stores and online. For more information go to www.facebook.com LYRICS Slow down, we’ve got time left to be lazy All the kids have bloomed from babies into flowers in our eyes. We’ve got 50 good years left to spend out in the garden I don’t care to beg your pardon, We should live until we die. We were barely 18 when we’d crossed collective hearts. It was cold, but it got warm when you’d barely crossed my eye. and then you turned, put out your hand, and you asked me to dance. I knew nothing of romance, but it was love at second sight. I swear when I grow up, I won’t just buy you a rose. I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely. Even if the sun stops waking up over the fields I will not leave, I will not leave ’til it’s our time. So just take my hand, you know that I will never leave your side. It was the winter of ’86, and all the fields had frozen over. So we moved to Arizona to save our only son and now he’s turning to a man, although he thinks just like his mother, he believes we’re all just lovers he sees hope in everyone. And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter. She has eyes just like her father’s they are blue when skies are grey. And just like him, she never stops, Never takes the day for granted, works for everything that’s handed to her, Never once complains. You think that I nearly lost you When the doctors tried to take you away. But like …

Finding the “sweet spot” while the doggy is getting a hard on… damn, this video is very risque.
Hi I am new to You Tube and to taking care of my dog, Dutchess. Your video here is helping a lot. She has been home less then a day. last night I took her to the vet to express her because both my husband and I were still having trouble. It is encouraging to hear you say it is ok if we do not get it right away. After watching this video I was able to express her, although I do not think all came out. I will continue to try. Bless you for this. She had surgery last Monday evening,
My little girl (mini-dachshund) has started to have problems, and this video really gave me hope. Thank you!
Thanks for the post Paula. We’re waiting to see if our just-diagnosed beagle/boston terrier mix is going to be able to pee on her own and continue pooping on her own. If she’s not pooping a *lot* could that mean she’s not really controlling that at all? Thanks.
poor baby!
@ya0ish3lly, I highly recommend the website “Dodgerslist” as the most comprehensive in information on disc disease and how to care for these dogs. Most dogs do recover with rest and medications. Clark is one who did not. Being paralyzed does not hinder Clark from enjoying all that life has to offer with the help of his wheelchair and a bit of help in the bathroom department from me.
I was reading up on dachshund spine problems and the results. I was wondering about this topic on paralyzed dogs. This is interesting. thank you. ^_^
@PUNITislaughedat OMG. Our staffy is the same. NIL Pain, totally alert, eating, everything, has feeling and movementi n her legs, just can’t walk. Blood tests all clear, no signs of tumor or stroke, vet thinks either slipped disc, or tumor on the spine.
disabledanimal has adoptions, help and the ability to list disabled animals – it’s for those who have a soft spot in their hearts for these precious ones
@PaulafromMT we have taken him to the vet and she doesnt think that its a disc or spine problem because he isnt in any pain,he just cant move his legs..he has Lyme disease though which can rarely cause paralysis,my family and I are just praying that this isnt permanent
Please make sure your dog is crated to protect the spinal cord if this injury is less than 8 weeks ago. Get vet help right away to reduce damage to the nerves in the cord so it won’t be permanent. There is a wealth of information and support on Dodgerslist Please join us. Everyone can learn to express, it is a practice thing. Do not hesitate to go back for another expressing lesson at your vet.
this is breaking my heart my 8 year old min pin is unable to move his back legs anymore and i can not get him to go potty the normal way or by expressing,i wish i was a strong as this women
Огромное спасибо!!! У меня таксу парализовало 2 дня назад, и он не мог освободить мочевой пузырь – теперь ему легче, ее раз СПАСИБО!!!
And thanks back at you Amy for sharing even more hints on expressing in the Dodgerslist article. The article is on DodgerslistDOTcom under “Recommended Readings.”
Thanks AGAIN! This is priceless!
Amy
this is a very helpful video and at least someone was kind enough to put it on the internet
I can see this video contributing to the saving of lives. Some individuals might be to overwhelmed at the thought of learning this technique, and see putting their dog down as the only answer. I learned the techniques necessary to keep my dachshund’s bladder healthy & empty in just a matter of days. Patience, love, and tips included in this video are all it takes!
Thank you for the nice review! Everybody…. Amy’s job is to coach pet parents on expressing. Check out the helpful hints Amy shares in the expressing article at DodgerslistDOTcom— you’ll find the article on the “Recommended Reading’s” page.
You have 2 1/2 years on me, I’ve been expressing for 3 years now. I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for confirming to those just starting to learn, expressing is not anything to be anxious about. Everyone can learn this skill and move on with a wonderful quality of life for their dog.
This video is excellent! I’ve been expressing Nate, my dachshund’s bladder for 5-1/2 years now, and I learned a thing or two from this video. Paula, you’re right that it’s something that gets easier with time and practice. Thank you for sharing this very informative and well produced instructional video. Love to all our dachshunds!
Awesome Job Paula and Dodger’s! Perfect! I LOVE it and will refer to it often!

@RainbowSkiittlez No, my son is just like me. He wouldn’t even consider looking at a half-ape.

@TomDavid88 Well, your son could grow up and marry a beautiful African American woman. You need to realize how many people you’ve offended. Your not funny.
This song is just pure beauty :3 <3
omg this song is too amazing. it literally gave me chills all over.
My friend is walking down the aisle to this. Its such a beautiful song.
The lead singer sounds very similar to NeverShoutNever, or at least I think so.
I’m making this the first dance at my wedding.
@steohanie34 thanks
So this is what happiness sounds like.
@steohanie34 I love you.
when I grow up, I won’t just buy you a rose.
I will buy the flower shop, and you will never be lonely <3
