Avalanche - Got An Itch and Was Able to Take Care of it Himself

We certainly take things for granted. If we have an itch, we scratch it. Imagine being a dog and not being able to scratch! Well, Avalanche has been in that situation for the past 17 months after recovering from a spinal cord injury. Finally there is some relief for the left side of his body. For the first time since his injury, he was able to connect and actually scratch his own left sided itch. He has learned how to communicate with me when he needs an itch scratched, but I am not with him 24/7 - so the poor guy has to get by. The total look of satisfaction on this dogs face when he was scratching was so awesome. Way to go Avalanche!
