Lila, nothing could detract from your beauty. You were aptly named from the start.

Oh no, we were so hoping for good news. You are in our thoughts.

WOOOT WOOOT!

Oh, yes, dealing with G's right rear foot and toes. The chiro said they were stiff, he does tend to favor that foot, and heavens forbid if I even LOOK at it. No breaks, no obvious injury, but you can tell it's not normal.

Bea, you were truly one of a kind. That family has no idea what they missed. I can't pass a Jack-Be(a)-Little pumpkin and not think of you and smile. Run free and fast, sweet Momma. Jan and the campers, we hold you in our hearts.

I'm working to address his pain first. It's difficult as a single person to handle the feet and treat at the same time, maybe put some PB in the muzzle while I'm back there? When he is getting his nails trimmed and his cold laser treatment, I hold him in place and he doesn't move, lift a lip, snarl, whatever, so I think that eventually he may associate that with good things. Anyhow, he did do some roaching this evening, which means he is feeling better.

Others can speak to the corn issues, but I have experience w/the pain biting. My boy has problems getting things stuck in his feet, and then overreacting when I try to get them out. Vet exam and x-rays didn't show anything abnormal. The immediate solution is to put his basket muzzle on for walks and any time someone will be examining back there--although he doesn't react at others, go figure. I'm also pursuing cold laser, professional nail trims, chiro, CBD oil. I'm hoping with time and exposure to having GOOD things happen when someone is touching his feet, I can get him to stop reacting.

I looked at the recommend ones from Amazon, they had a nice colorblock one that I got for the hall. So far, so good! I think the one I had there was catching too much dust and debris and the air handler was sucking it up.

SNART!

Oh, no, we were all hoping for a better outcome. We will look for his bright star tonite.

That looks more like a sebaceous cyst, sort of pimply to me.

Oh, happy day!

I get some at Ollie's, or get the rubber underlays. I got a front door mat from Amazon called Gorilla Grip, it doesn't move, but boy does it stink.

Minnie Pearl would like a word with you...HOW-DEE!! I'm always wary of picking up furniture, with bedbugs being so widespread. I will pick up friendly cats tho!

I thought you meant the only one not begging to come back in at the door (That's Beautimous Bea, correct?)

Irene, I know what you are feeling now. Johnny went so suddenly and so young as well, just gone and no clear answers. We hope your sweet memories bring you comfort.

Of course it wasn't him, those look like turkey feathers!

She may like a soft cone better, or muzzle with stool cup. Get well soon girls! Many, many years ago, our beagle and golden retriever half-grown puppy cornered a groundhog. The beagle was baying at it, the golden lunged in, grabbed it by the nose, two shakes, all over.

I can only speak to having worked a dog in Laredo, TX. Hot summers where the overnight temps didn't dip much below the mid 70s in the summer, which is approximately 8 months out of the year. We tried working in the shade as much as possible, having stock tubs set up for cool dips, and fans blowing on the cages while they were resting. Knowing your dog's limit is important, as is knowing when to make your dog come in to the cool. My Lab would've worked till she dropped, so I made her rest if I had no relief officer. Here in SC, I limit my two to longer walks in the morning and night, and short p&p the rest of the day. We have the added danger of high humidity, so on those extreme days I will limit all walks to p&p in the full shade.

Yeah! Some houndie owes me some puppy kisses!

The Sidney James has some rooms left, I got one today. The 1-800 number wasn't working, so try the other one.

Gino says hi! He is a big black tuxie boy, too. (I also have a little red girl, Fuzzy.)

Seconded! My Fuzzy alternated between statuing and leaping for the squirrels. She still tries for them (it's been 7 months!), but the harness has helped immensly with getting her moving again and keeping her feet on the ground. My boy Gino is Mr GOGOGO, and he wants to sniff everything, so between us, she doesn't have a choice. Give yourself some time, it's early days yet!

Charlie, I'm with you, bananas are yucky!

Yes, I worry about Gino, he gets destructive if he thinks he's being abandoned (or taken back to the group!). He is also very routine oriented, I swear he has a clock up his butt. Fuzzy is more mellow, but she may feed off his energy and get wound up.
