    Credit Finch

    We had two cages of finches in our sunroom when I was growing up. They were so sweet. Fly free Credit.
  2. Ameican slices work the best here, but I don't use the whole slice. Depending on the size of the pill I tear off 1/3 - 1/2 a slice, warm it in my hand, mold it around the pill and sort of rewrap the remaining part of the slice and stick it back in the fridge for the next dosing.
  3. Cara Brockhoff has this on her website and it is my all time favorite. I have it printed and framed next to Harley and Rex's ashes. Swear I get choked up every time I read it. In Tribute With dignity and gentleness of heart, my uncommon friend completed his mission as he saw it. He came in love, he left in love, slipping out so softly one could but imagine a gentle breeze, nothing more. Behind he leaves a mighty wind, an expression of unconditional love, a power to heal the planet earth. For this beloved friend WAS love. Total, joyous, unconditional love. Through his eyes one sensed Truth, wisdom, compassion. Only a dog? The most treasured of values, the most tender of passions, my Perro. May he run forever on the beaches and trails of the kingdom beyond. Woo-ah woo-ooo-ooo! He greets the morning, head held high, eyes sparkling, calling the troops to a day of adventure. Fleet beauty, a dance of joy, sharing time with so many stories to tell. And then to close the day, a quiet lift of his head, from his favorite resting spot at bedside. With dignity and gentleness of heart, my uncommon friend said good night. Good night, my Perro, God bless you. From ''Joy in a Woolly Coat'' by Julie Adams Church
  4. Interesting about Bordatella. My vet is not a big believer in the Bordatella vaccine as he the number of resistant strains just keeps increasing so it works on half of them or less, but he'll gladly give it upon request. When Poodle's groomer moved to a vet practice in another city they required it for grooming so he got it. That vet only did the injections on adult dogs once a year. He said they lasted longer and were more effective than the nasal.
  5. My vet charged $25 plus the office call if we weren't already there. I don't think they ever hurt Rex at all. They go on either side of the spine
  6. Burpdog, I have asked before but don't remember exactly why your vets refuse to do the shot. What are their reasons? There were way fewer side effects for us with the shot that oral steroids. I keep wondering why your vets are so opposed to it. Thanks in advance for jogging my fuzzy memory.
  7. When I was at A&M everyone said it was easier to get into medical school than vet school...Texas has eight medical schools and one vet school. Do the math.
  8. Rex was very young (4.5) when diagnosed with LS by Dr. Herron. The shots really helped him. He went from unable to get off the couch to bounding up the steps and you could see when they were wearing off. He went to the bridge at almost 7 after a disc between his shoulders ruptured into his spine and was inoperable.

  10. Don't give up. Ask the group that turned you down exactly why they refused you. Perhaps there is another group that has different adoption rules and/or the reason you were denied is fixable. I have no knowledge of you or the group that refused you, but different groups have different rules. One group that I highly respect has a rule that you MUST have a fenced yard. In my personal opinion there are lots of greys that can/do live happily ever after in a apartment, but that is their rule and I respect that. Other groups refuse to adopt to people with preschool kids. There are dogs out there that love kiddos, but those groups have had bad experiences and they can make their rules.
  11. I cannot second that enough. If you must crate a wire crate is usually better than a varikennel. You can always "close in" a wire crate with blankets, etc. but you can't "open up" a plastic crate. If you want to crate see if your group can loan you one.
  12. Don't get discouraged. Like Pat said, they haven't said no as of yet, and if they do go to another group. There are groups out there that realize someone has to work to buy kibble and stuffies. Another option if you have a fenced yard might be to have a neighbor come over and let them out. I did that when I worked 10 hour days pre dog door. It was a fraction of the cost of a dog walker -- I paid her $3 a day. Good luck and keep us posted.
  13. Many many thoughts and prayers. Your boy had a good run and was obviously much loved.
  14. Fly free sweet Neosho.....
  15. Very sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy.
