Glad Ekko is on her way back. Picture frames, watch out!

:yay for both girls. I hope both (and their humans) have a restful night. Two molars eh? So Ekko will still be able to read and use TP and reframe pictures and...

Allie. I hope it heals quickly.

I'm so very sorry. Thank you for telling us about your special and very handsome BigOrangeDog. Godspeed Balu.

I'm so very sorry. What a wonderful tribute to your special boy. Godspeed Hardday.

I'm thinking of Ekko this morning, and looking forward to the "she's doing well" report.

Congratulations! Great pics. But this: What are you thinking? You realize, don't you, that you're never going to the bathroom alone again?

I'm so very sorry. Godspeed Jax.

I'm so very sorry. She left much too soon. Godspeed Angel.

What a horrible shock and terrible loss. I'm so very sorry.

for Ekko, and for Lenny. I know Ekko will be fine. She hasn't yet finished training you.

I'm so very sorry. Your family has endured far too many losses lately. Godspeed Toto.

I'm so very sorry. Godspeed Lily.

I hope Jake is feeling better this morning.

I hope Lily feels better soon.

I'm so very sorry. He was very handsome. I wish he could have stayed longer. Godspeed Dexter.

I'm so very sorry. She was absolutely gorgeous, and a true character. You wrote a wonderful tribute to her--I just wish you didn't have to do it so soon. Godspeed Xena.

I am so very sorry. I will be thinking of you and Dexter tomorrow.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. Godspeed Sunny.

I'm so very sorry. It can be hard to tell whether the panting is due to pain or the medications, but since you've just started the Tramadol, odds are it's pain. With my OS puppers, we used an NSAID (Metacam) once per day (standard dosage) and Tramadol 3X/day (increasing the dosage as needed). Depending on his tolerance, you might be able to give him a lot more medicine before he seems drugged.

I'm so very sorry. Godspeed Winston.

Edie loves bird seed. Other than making her poop more voluminous and hard to pick up (makes it crumbly), it hasn't hurt her yet. I know there's some risk from the poop (salmonella), but most of that seems to end up on my neighbours' side of the fence.

Max.

Wellness makes grain-free jerky squares (venison, salmon and venison, and a couple of other flavours) that are easy to work with. You can also use no-grain weiners and dry them out in the microwave. Or boil meat (beef heart is a favourite here), slice it, then bake it for a bit. I also use beef liver and other treats from N/A Nothing Added (GTer quietstorm). They're crunchy, so they work best with a dog that chews fast.
