The hard barrier I had was like LBass’s except it attached to the floor and ceiling with suction cups, if that makes sense. The mesh barrier was like MersyGrey’s but a different brand. I got both from either Amazon or Chewy (it’s been awhile ).

I had a metal barrier in my Element because Fletcher wanted to drive Later, with the minivan, I just had a mesh type barrier. The dogs could have pushed through but the idea of a barrier was enough.

Excellent check up! I agree, extra special treats

I have always stopped vaccines for my seniors, even rabies since by their teens they have immunity if they have been regularly vaccinated throughout their lives. AZ doesn’t accept titers but my vet (who supports stopping the vaccines) writes a letter to have on file with the county. I *think* this means if my dog was exposed he could be quarantined at home, but it never came up. All that said there really isn’t any reason not to do necessary vaccines on a healthy senior. Likewise for dentals, I would address any issues, but probably skip a routine cleaning. When Conner needed a dental at 12.5 I took him to a specialty vet and he had his own anesthesiologist. Expensive, but worth it! Blood work and a good physical exam should do it unless there are any specific issues you are concerned about. Congratulation on Logan reaching a milestone

Exactly!

Hope everything goes well AnnIE and you get home quick!

Look at them go! Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing. I love to see them run

Are the campers going to be like those people in California that wrote “please help” in the snow?

I think the expression on LaVida’s face is “bliss” Mark, of course, is asleep

Well you moved her up to that frozen wasteland, what is a girl to do?

She looks like she is saying “and mouthy too!” They are both stunning

What a team

No flys on that girl

I see she has made herself a nice little nest

That intense stare

Very stylish pups How exciting for you to get to visit, I am sure it will be a wonderful trip! Expecting lots of your excellent pictures

I write a remembrance after I have called to make The Appointment but before they are gone, if I have the chance. I don’t want to leave anything out and I know I won’t be able to write anything after for a long time, if ever.

Happy Birthday Black Bandit

What a gorgeous boy!

Doing nothing is hard work!

That does indeed count

None of my dogs has ever had a problem with a dental, but Conner had to have one when he was 12. His blood work was all good but because of his age I took him to a specialist. Expensive, but well worth the money. In addition to two vets working on him (he had a lot of extractions) he had an anesthesiologist who monitored his vitals throughout the procedure. He recovered just fine.

You can give however you usually give pills. As I recall, you want to start it at least 24 hrs before surgery, but it has been awhile since I had to use it. If I am wrong or things have changed I am sure someone will correct me
