    Honey - One Year Later

    in Remembrance

    Posted

    Marc, I missed this until now. I was kinda hibernating myself. You know why. We suffered together last year. Your beautiful girl has crossed my mind dozens of times during the year. Cannot believe it's been a year. Feels like yesterday, huh?

    I put my dachshund on ProNeurozone. Vet recommended it to start as it doesn't affect the major organs. It was like a miracle drug for his dementia. Check it out online. It's not expensive, either. Took about a week or so until I saw improvement, but most of the dementia signs disappeared. He lived to be 16 years, 8.5 months. Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of his death, as his body just eventually gave out.

    Miles Dental Tomorrow :( Update Post 1

    I added water to the kibble, nuked it for about 30 seconds and let it sit for a while and it softened. I also got canned food for the first day and I think I forgot to use it. The kibble gets really mushy. I fed mushy kibble for a week or so.

    I will be in and out tomorrow and work a few hours, but keep me posted. I always worry like crazy until they are home and safely recovering.

    Howie the dachshund had a dental and has only two teeth remaining, two canines. He still eats everything.

    Chris I just can't find the words. I type and delete. I am just so very sorry for your sudden loss. He knew he was adored. May his memories soon bring smiles through your tears.

    So Greyhounds Don't Bark?

    Chances are high that blocking his vision is not going to stop the problem. They KNOW that something is out there. My kids can be out cold and suddenly react to something in the woods that I can never ever see. Even before my elderly almost blind and almost deaf Dexter died, he would react sometimes before the other dogs. They know bicycles and walkers are coming when they are still out of my sight.

    The squirt bottle and penny can helped a little but I gave up. I'm alone and decided I want to know when something/someone is around.

    Multi Breed Homes?

    I brought my first grey home to two very headstrong mini dachshunds. Worked out well. Two more greys after she died. All adjusted well. I became a pet sitter and keep two more greys, one male who is not neutered, keep a lab who is not neutered. The lab is fairly young and high energy so the grey makes him run, yes, MAKES him and he cannot keep up with her.

    Please understand that I very carefully introduce them to each other. Supervision, separation, etc, until I am comfortable that they are okay together. And still, I usually muzzle my grey when I send her out with others as she is so assertive and mouthy.

     

    Oh, I forgot the cats. Two very nosy, busy, fearless cats. I often keep the cats confined for the sake of the dogs I may be tending. The cats are ruthless and sometimes tease the heck out of the dogs.

    Front Line

    If I need anything I use Comfortis. It's the only thing that controlled and killed the fleas on the farm dogs. Wasted lots of money on the Frontline Plus from the vets over the years. My little dachsie also managed to contract Lyme despite the faithful use of vet-purchased frontline. Currently know of multiple cases of lyme in dogs, new case last week, despite use of Frontline Plus.

    I live in the woods, check us regularly, have all kinds of creatures running around. No fleas, occ. ticks.

    I researched frontline and the company claims that the quality is not affected by temperature. My vet always used that excuse for buying it from them.

    I always liked the picture of him following you on the beach.

     

    I used to think that loss would be easier to handle as I got older. Not happening.

     

    My deepest sympathy to you and Jeff.

    Marc, to think of you losing your three Joisey Girls in nine months, well, I weep everytime I think of it. Though you knew it had to be, I cannot imagine the overwhelming grief. But as the others said, Kara landed in the perfect home, and for six years enjoyed the adoration of her Dad. What more could a girl ask for!

    I read this right after you posted it, then listened to the song which took me to memories WAY back in time. And I cried and cried so hard I couldn't post.

    What an honor that you could provide for your friend's dying wish. Don't many of us who live alone pray that our fur kids will be well taken care of when we leave this earth?

    I had the honor of meeting the Duchess, not once, but twice. She clearly made her wishes and expectations known. I well remember her lying on the pillow, regal, claiming her right to be there.

     

    Marc, thank you for sharing her with us. Your gem will be missed by so many. Though it was her time, we still feel the pain of your loss. As said before, she will reign over the Bridge.
