I am so sorry. Paris was such a sweet girl. How are your daughters doing?

Hi Diane, I'll fetch that handsome Dodge a burger any time! Despite how yucky you were feeling I know it helped you to hear Dr Cuoto say Dodge looked good.

Did you take her temperature?

These are from 3 different web sites: Apple seeds, cherry pits, peach pits, pear pips, plums pits, and apricot pits contain cyanide, which is poisonous. While a few apple seeds may not cause a problem, the effects can accumulate over time if they are given to dogs regularly. Dogs should not be allowed to chew on a peach pit, cherry pit, apricot pit, or plum pit. Chewing can allow ingestion of cyanide. Chewing could also result in the pit being swallowed, causing continuous exposure to cyanide, or could cause the dog to choke. A dog that weighs between 40 and 50 pounds could probably eat up to 100 fruit pits without any kind of reaction, veterinarians said, but the pit could be deadly if combined with a chemical or something from another plant or medicine. CHERRY PITS - causes a variety of effects on your dog including respiratory distress like difficulty in breathing, coughing, and sneezing

Saying goodbye to the beautiful greys who left us in May 2009. As you run with the wind send a caress to wipe our tears. Gone but never forgotten. Loved forever. Run free with those who have gone before you. Greet all those that will follow.

I can't remember if my vet gives one or two injections - to relax the dog and then let them go. Perhaps your vet could give you valium for Riley to be administered before leaving home. I'm sorry your family is going through this. You tried to give Riley a chance.

Poor Toby. I'm sure he didn't mean to puke on the stick sick shift.

How about what not to give your dog for pain and why: Tylenol Overheating in the summertime, when an exercise period can be deadly.

Thane did not cut the webbing between his toes. But one night he did cut the deepest part of his foot that you can touch if you put your finger in between the middle of all toes from the underside. In his case he had cut an artery. The E-vet did a horrible job of stitching and bandaging and it had soaked through by morning. Regular vet was unable to do any other stitches because the skin was tearing like tissue paper. He had to put skin glue on it. We did a week of bandage changes and a course of antibiotics.

Do you have a bird bath? I took mine down when my pups had spells of diarrhea after drinking from it.

I have Wendel on the February angel list. I am so sorry that two of these beautiful greys have left you.

Oh, sweet Kylie, your heart has been lifted to the bridge on the wings of a butterfly. Each time I see a yellow butterfly I will think of you.

If Misty could speak to you.......... "Mom, you're the best mom a girl could have. I wanted to get better for you and we both tried our best but it was my time to go. I hope you don't mind that I surprised you by eating the baby food and that I was picky about the flavor. I knew you'd need a bit of cheering up to bolster your heart before I left. I liked hearing the clinkity-clinkity of the spoon in the baby food jar. I liked seeing you have hope. You thought that hope was for me, but really I was working some magic for you to create hope for yourself. You just didn't know it then. Take that hope, mom, and put it in an empty baby food jar. And each day open that jar and take a little sniff. The aroma of my favorite flavor will fade with each opening of the lid. And as it fades, think of me as not being gone, but being whole and happy and with my friends in the clouds. One day you will be able to walk past the jars of baby food in the grocery store and smile. Your eyes will still get misty but that's just me saying goodbye to the best mom a girl could have."

Been there done that. Happy tail made our home look like a crime scene. You should find when reading the happy tail posts that it can take a long time for happy tail to heal. Keep checking the tissue as recommended in those posts.

Welcome back Tina Beautiful pictures of your greys.

You didn't let her down. Despite now feeling well I'm sure she wanted to be with you too, at home, on her final days. After all those days in the hospital, she knew she needed to hang in there to be with you - if only for a brief time.

I'll be thinking of you both tomorrow.

With the other angels on the list now.......

What a special little guy.

I have added Mickey Deez to the angel list. I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Oliver to a stroke years ago.

She's added to the list with the others now......

My only comfort is that she is keeping all those bridge kids company.
