00:00Come on, let's get up.

00:03It's OK, it's OK, it's OK, it's OK, it's OK.

00:07His whole body was shaking and having tremors.

00:13He could not get up without screaming in pain.

00:17That's when we took him to the emergency vet.

00:22We took him to get chiropractic care.

00:24We took him to multiple vets who did, like, X-rays and things,

00:27but we couldn't really find anything.

00:29We just gave him some pain meds.

00:35He's on very limited activity, so he's not really

00:38allowed to go outside and play or run or do any of the things

00:41that he loves.

00:45It's been a very challenging couple of months

00:47because the injury essentially started right

00:48at the beginning of winter, which is definitely

00:54his favorite season here in Oregon.

00:58He absolutely loves the snow.

01:03He wants to be in it, like, tunneling, burrowing, playing,

01:07running.

01:08He's a snow dolphin.

01:12But this injury has lasted, like, months now.

01:17He's pretty much been on house arrest,

01:19like, not allowed to go outside, not allowed to play.

01:26Don't be sad.

01:27I think he just really misses going outside and having fun.

01:39My boyfriend, Dusty, he knows how much I love Wiley,

01:42how much, like, we just enjoy going out

01:44and having fun in the snow.

01:45And so I think he kind of saw that both of us

01:47have been kind of down.

01:51I started hearing these, like, big banging sounds

01:54outside on the back deck.

01:58Dusty was creating an ice box to make an igloo.

02:10Wiley was just so excited to check it out and go inside.

02:13Is that your little place?

02:15He's literally just looks so at peace

02:17and just, like, smelling the air and just looks, like,

02:20so happy to be in his little igloo.

02:22We're still trying to figure it out.

02:24I'm hoping to get him another MRI and just figure

02:27out exactly what's going on.

02:28But small little moments, like building an igloo

02:32or playing outside in the snow, like,

02:34they make such a huge difference, not just for Wiley,

02:36but for me and for Dusty, too, and just,

02:39like, for our little family.

02:41There's nothing that I wouldn't do for my dog, for Wiley.

02:45He's just so happy to be in his little igloo.

02:51And if doing something like that can make him happy,

02:54like, of course we're going to do that.
