I am so sorry, it is a terrible club to have to join

can't fool those Broodies

Nice use of the props

It varies from dog to dog. Pumpkin works for some, does nothing or makes it worse for others, you would just have to try and see. Val only has occasional bouts of diarrhea, the clay works best for her. For Fletcher, who had IBS, pumpkin was what worked, so you could try that first since it is cheaper and easier to find. However, when Rocket stayed with us I made up his carrots each evening for the next day, only took a minute, so the prep time isn't really a big deal.

What a gorgeous boy! I love the big boys

I am so sorry, it sounds like Leo was meant for your family.

I am so very sorry

Good article!

such a pretty girl

I was sure one of them would tip the water bowl over or step in it, and sure enough...

Poor Sweep. I do know that a couple of mine have changed their sleeping habits as they got older. I don’t have indoor stairs, but Conner started choosing to sleep in the living room instead of coming into my bedroom. Nothing (that I could see) had changed, he just quit coming to bed when I went. He also started going out more at night, not a lot, just more often than the 12+ hours he went without going out when he was younger. It probably is age related, which is sad, but hopefully not dementia.

I don't need the meds, but wanted to say how sorry I am that you have lost Penny

What fun! I would have loved to see their expressions watching that tortoise

Kate definitely still has the moves

Seems to work well for dogs in the middle, Val is 11.6=70.2 which sounds about right, but Conner was 14.4 when he passed and 73 doesn't sound right. Still, better than the old 1 dog year = 7 human years formula

you may never know what caused it, but I hope that whatever the reason, she gets back to her “old” ways!

I am so sorry, I have always loved seeing pictures of your beautiful girl.

I had another thought while walking the dog this morning If it is just (or mainly) going down stairs, but not up, be sure and check her neck and shoulders as well.

Do you have a vet chiropractor in your area? They can check her spine, hips, etc to be sure they are in alignment and not sore (Val just had such an assessment). Checking her vision is another good idea.
