Thx for the heads up... I need to cancel my hotel!

I’m so sorry to hear that

Sadly I just got the email GiG 2020 is canceled. I was really looking forward to going this year with the girls. I am leaving them with my registration as a donation to help offset the loss in revenue.

Good news! Since Carmen started the anti-inflammatories her ankle has made good progress... She's not limping as near as much and since it's not bothering her too much she's stopped licking it which has allowed the raw skin around it to heal! She will only be on the anti-inflammatories a few more days. Hopefully this time has given it time to do some healing and we won't need them for a while.

Thank you!

LOL that was my girls! They'd both get up and run to the door to greet whomever came in. Tails wagging and lots of kisses too! I'm very relieved we don't have a surgery for repairs and a possible long recovery. Yes it sucks she has arthritis, but her only job now is getting on the couch so hopefully she will be fine

I have pretty good news to report... Definitely NOT cancer (thank goodness). And no old fracture/break. There was some sort of trauma in the past which has caused some extra bone growth (spurring) which is causing the inflammation and discomfort. Ultimately this is basically arthritis. It can be managed moving forward. So our little Carmen went on a round of antibiotics to be safe since she licked the area raw, and a week of anti-inflammatories. Once we get it to settle down, hopefully it's a treat "as-needed" issue. Funny note: we also brought Amelia with us as her "support dog". The techs all commented on how friendly and happy they seemed the whole time LOL

Mine just seem to be afraid of nail clippers LOL

I'm so sorry. Run free sweet Beka!

She moves when tearing around the yard but walking she tends to favor the leg. Sometimes she will hold it up. Preliminary xrays showed a piece of the bone separated. It may need to be removed at this point. I will keep you all posted! Appt isn’t until next Wednesday.

This is one reason we wanted a black hound this time... lots of people shy away from black cats and dogs (I also have a black kitty). OMG really? My rescue takes in hounds from all over the country (not overseas yet tat I know of). And they are all un-neutered/spayed and a lot are not cat safe.

Well sadly we found out our little Carmen has an old fracture by her ankle that was never properly cared for (might be why she never made it to the track). We are taking her to an orthopedist next week to see what needs to be done. She's been limping lately so I know it's bothering her. Wish us luck!

Hoe to see you then!

!Hurray! Glad you are going!

I really love you are doing this! Good luck to your old friends and their town.
