Ali’s Box Turn

25 April, 2009 (15:02) | Flyball | By: Cynthia

This is Ali, and she’s on our team! We have some really nice box turns on our team. And, I’ll admit, some crappy ones too.  However the bad ones are just from the older dogs who weren’t really trained a nice swimmer’s turn when they started. And, I have to admit, Chase was one of [...]

Blown Pad

17 March, 2009 (18:54) | Chase | By: Cynthia

Well, my Husband took Muffit and Chase to the park yesterday and Chase blew his pad.  Poor boy. He has the most sensitive feet.
So this evening we put some Vitamin E on his pad, put on gauze (okay it’s a band aid, LOL) and then wrapped his foot with vet wrap (notice the blue, our [...]

Three Old Dogs

10 March, 2009 (09:15) | Angel, Levi, Lucy | By: Cynthia

It’s tough having three old dogs in the house. Of course we love them all, and it’s not like we have to spend  lot of time exercising them and doing lots of things with them. However, as they age, we have to spend more on medical care. And make sure they get high quality food, [...]

Levi Has Arthritis

9 March, 2009 (10:08) | Levi | By: Cynthia

Levi was limping a week ago when I took him to obedience practice.  It was odd, because he hasn’t shown any lameness before that.  But he had been a bit low energy.
So my husband took him to our vet. They moved his legs around and he even yelped because it hurt, poor guy!  She said [...]

How Would You Fix The Purebred Dogs?

24 February, 2009 (15:13) | Daily Posts | By: Cynthia

So… there’s so much controversy in the Pure Bred Dog world about the health of pure bred dogs. You can’t turn a corner without hearing such and such is wrong with this breed, such and such is wrong with that. It’s quite sad, actually, and as we all know us humans have created the [...]

Lucy Made It To 10

15 February, 2009 (19:09) | Lucy | By: Cynthia

Yay! Lucy is 10 years old today!  I’m so happy… last year this time when we were trying to figure out why she wasn’t keeping food down, and she lost so much weight, I was so worried she wasn’t going to live to 10 years old.  We found her megaesophagus though and she’s doing so [...]

Lucy Had A Bad Day

14 December, 2008 (17:45) | Lucy | By: Cynthia

Lucy didn’t have a very good day yesterday. We always worry about her when she doesn’t eat, and she skipped two meals yesterday. She ate her first morning meal and her second noon meal, but after that she just didn’t want to eat. And she seems to drop weight if she eats less than four [...]

Vet Update about Sasha

11 December, 2008 (22:22) | Rescue | By: Cynthia

Well, we love our vet, they are amazing. First off they say no way Sasha’s nose became the way it is because she rubbed it against a fence.  She has something going on that we need to figure out.
She has kennel cough, so that will be treated first and she’s on antibiotics for a week. [...]

Chase is Missing a Tooth

21 November, 2008 (18:27) | Chase | By: Cynthia

Well, Chase went into the vet on Thursday for a routine teeth cleaning. I didn’t really think he needed it… but my husband said Chase has been scratching his mouth a lot lately. When Lucy scratched at her mouth a while ago, her tooth ended up being cracked and she had it pulled.
Our vet’s teeth [...]

Lucy has a UTI

17 November, 2008 (17:16) | Lucy | By: Cynthia

Ugh… got back from the vet for Lucy. Angel came with for the ride. Lucy didn’t get any treats at the vet… she throws them up if she does. I feel bad for her because she soooo loves the treats they have at the vet. My poor Lucy girl. The Megaesohagus is such a pain.
They [...]
