I hope his beautiful face was waiting at the bridge for my Jack......what welcoming eyes.....

Just thinking of Charlie this morning.....and you, Kyle, and your DW. I'm so sorry for you that you were not able to spend last night with him - but you will be there for him as he rebounds and learns to walk on his three beautiful legs. My DH and I send continued prayers to all of you. Keeping Flash in my thoughts and prayers, along with Charlie. Having had a front leg tripod for myself, I would agree, your hounds once they learn a little bathroom balancing will do great. Beth Prayers for Flash as well.....

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Kyle, my heart is breaking for you. Many prayers for Charlie to live a long happy life. Your quick action will give him every chance. Please let us know how his surgery goes. Again any prayers from us.

It is just amazing how much we pray for poop when we have four-legged children. I routinely say that prayer for my horse who has the occassional "slowdown"...and am always relieved to see a healthy poop from the houndies!!!

I'm so sorry for your loss....but congratulate you on your decision to bring in a new baby. It doesn't make the pain go away - but it certainly does help bring smiles back into the house... for you and your Patton. (By the way, great pair of names for your babies.)

I'm so sorry for you.....Thoughts are with you.

B9...B9....B9!!!!!!

Prayers from all of us....two-legged and four-legged.

Thanks for bumping...hadn't seen this yet...will be sure to donate today!!

I wonder if it's more the time of day than the dew.....as someone pointed out, could it be insects?....or perhaps the scent of something more "wild" that might be trolling through your yard at night. If they are scent hounds, they would love it....but other breeds might not.

Prayers are with you.

Thank God she made it through her latest bought of unexpected intake!! Not much advice....but I wish you the best. I know they can get to stuff through their muzzles, but it might reduce the amount of things she can get into.

I know exactly how you feel. When Jack died so unexpectedly, everything in the house was just where he left it...the toys, the shoes, the beds, etc. I say the shoes, because he would always bring my sneakers (or one of them) over to me - because he knew that's what I wore for his walks, but the second I got in from work and took my dress shoes off, he would steal them and hide them. I guess he figured I couldn't leave that way. Those first few days after he died, I kept finding a shoe here and a shoe there. One of them is still where he "hid" it. I guess I'll have to buy a new pair of navy pumps because I can't handle moving it.

Just had my two done. One was fine, the other didn't want to eat. Ground up meatball and chicken broth helped. Be sure to get antibiotics down...it's important. My old boy had 17 teeth removed last year... A bit sore that night, but back to usual next day. I got nervous when my latest boy wouldn't eat, but other GT people said they had similar experiences. Once he got brave enough to do the meatball, everything else went down fine. Best wishes!

Lots of prayers to Rainey and her GREAT Mom. You are wise to let the vets keep pumping fluids......It's so hard to leave them there, but in the long run, it's your best move!

Run free, sweet Roy....

So sorry for you. ...But it sounds like he lived a wonderful life full of love.

I know it sounds crazy, but one time our old boy EZ got dirt between his toes and refused to walk. My husband carried him a quarter mile uphill back home....maybe it's something as simple as dirt or a pebble stuck between his pads....Good luck!!

Congrats. She's beautiful....and welcome from Rhode Island.

My boys had dentals on Monday....Both ate that night - but then one vomited (vet says normal - just from anesthesia). Anyway, by next morning, the pain must have set in in his mouth and he would not eat anything. I even boiled soft pasta.....he would lick off the chicken broth and sour cream, but would not eat.....Later that night, I ground up a meatball and he finally broke down....and that was for just a dental....sounds like your baby had more invasive work......Can you call the vet? Maybe they can just ease your mind.....but I bet it's because the surgery was pretty extensive.....And...you do need to get the meds in....maybe they have a suggestion.

I'm relatively new to GT.....and sadly, Jack died of post surgical complications from the corn just a few weeks ago....my heart just broke....I had tried the Dr. Scholl's stuff, therapaw boots, winter boots, etc....everything but duct tape, which I knew he would not like....and everyone said how easy the surgery was.....He walked OK with a winter boot on, but I know that they eventually have to be dealt with or they are debilatating.....At least I know now for my old boy EZ if he gets them, and my very new adoptees..... Thanks!

OOOOOOHHHHH....So many cute butts!!!!!

In the meantime, until you get the harness, you can always take a very large towel and loop it under her stomach and use it almost as a sling to help her down the stairs....it's not ideal, but until you have a harness, you don't want to take any changes!! Good luck.

Oh...how I wish that I had known about this one month ago.....I never would have sent Jack for surgery that day if I had thought there were more options to try.......At least for the future, we know there are more choices out there! Thanks for sharing.
