    I'm so sorry. What a special girl she was.
  2. I'm so sorry Albi was so brave and did so well after his surgery. I know what a truly special boy he was from all you've written about him. Run free big guy
  3. Oh no. I was hoping he'd be feeling better after the weekend. Will be thinking good thoughts for all of you
  4. I've had good luck with Merrick Canned - Grammies Pot Pie. I haven't found a dog yet who won't eat it. We keep a couple of cans on hand for emergencies. It's gotten many girls eating again that went on hunger strikes after their spays.
  5. We keep Poise Pads on hand for bleeding. I had a foster that got his ear bitten by a cat. I put the poise pad on it and then wrapped it with a belly band tied with a bandana (all I had). When we got to the vet she couldn't even tell where the cut was because the bellyband / bandana had done such a good job w/ the pressure. They also work great on cuts on legs. Poise Pad, vet wrap and you can get to the vet w/out blood spurting everywhere. My vet even went out and bought some for bleeding. Hope her ear is feeling better!
  6. Hopefully she's just having an off day. Let us know what your vet says!

    Overtime "toby"

    I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful boy.
  8. Crystal was such a special girl. I'm so happy she had her home with MP and that she got to go to GIG. I was hoping that you would have many, many years together and that Crystal would be one who made it to 15. She had so much life in her it's hard to believe she's gone. She was one of those dogs that as soon as you meet them you love them. I'll always remember her as the first dog that I ever specifically asked if our group could take. I fell in love with her on the farm the minute I saw her. I know she met up with her first dad who loved her and I know she'll be waiting for MP when the time comes. You can see in the pictures how much she loved you and how at home she felt. Thank you for making her last days wonderful ones.
  9. My friend did weekly treatments for one of her boys for about a year for arthritis in a front ankle. She swears it made a huge difference, he got so he wasn't limping at all on it. We did 4 treatments on Rocky's leg when he had surgery to remove a tumor, but I don't know if it sped up the healing process or not. My vet charges $100 for 4 treatments, so we only did 1 round.
  10. I'm glad that Crystal is feeling better. I'm hoping that she's got lots of good time left. I think you're supposed to ask permission before you take photos I warned you she has a lot of personality. Shame her former owner never appreciated it.
  11. Oh no!!! Let us know as soon as you hear something. She can't be sick, she just can't........
  12. Your subject said "we may be putting our grey down tomorrow" and your post indicated "I can't handle it anymore" I don't know why you're surprised that people are worried and offering help. I'd think you'd appreciate that people understand it's a lot of work taking care of an older dog and have offered help if you just can't do it anymore. A lot of us have been there, we know exactly how hard it is and how much it wears you down. Hope your vet can offer you some help.
  13. I'd totally have a vet check done. For the last year, year and a half, we had Mimi (we lost her at 15) we cleaned up messes several times a day. There were days I'd get home and just cry because she'd gone to the bathroom and then tracked it all over. We had the hospital bed pads down, so it stayed on those, but I got really tired of doing laundry. She never would have gone to the bathroom in the house when she was younger, but she just couldn't help it. I'd give anything to be cleaning up messes and doing laundry again.
  14. What a beautiful girl! I'm so sorry you lost her.

  16. I'm so sorry. What a sweet, sweet boy. I'm glad he got to be spoiled by you, even though it wasn't long enough.
  17. I'm so sorry. I always liked hearing about Ava. Run free sweet girl.
