What to do about Lucy

24 June, 2008 (16:52) | Lucy | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

Lately Lucy has been having some problems. We don’t think she has cancer…. well, the vet doesn’t think so, anyway. Which is good. She probably has calcification of the lungs. Which, really, shouldn’t affect her life.
But the last week or so she has been eating and drinking, and then throwing it [...]

Jogging Makes Border Collies Tired

1 June, 2008 (15:06) | Daily Posts | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

So, I want to get back into jogging. I wish I could take three or four dogs jogging, but when leashed on the streets I can only take two. This morning I took Chase and Muffit jogging and they loved it. Chase knows my jogging shoes and gets excited when I get [...]

No Cancer in Lucy

21 May, 2008 (15:32) | Lucy | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

Well, we took Lucy to the vet on Monday and had her re-xrayed to see if the stuff in her lungs has changed at all. Well, the good news is that there was no change in the xrays!
So the vet is fairly certain that, instead of cancer, she has calcification of the lungs. They [...]

Colloidal Silver for Health?

7 April, 2008 (10:32) | Info | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

I am always looking for ways to be more healthy. For both me and the dogs. Though I will try stuff on myself that I may not try on the dogs. Because I just don’t know how it might affect them, and I don’t want to hurt them in any way. I am their [...]

Muffit Likes to Burrow

7 April, 2008 (08:20) | Muffit | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

Muffit is such a cute boy. Apparently he likes to burrow himself under the blankets… then scratch scratch scratch himself a bed so it’s comfy, then snuggle in. This is a very cute picture of him on our downstairs bed after he’s moved the blankets over himself.
I’m a bit worried about him… he drinks [...]

Chase’s Tail

2 April, 2008 (16:57) | Daily Posts | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

I wanted to keep a visual record of Chase’s tail and his awful coat. It’s easiest to see it on his tail. This is a good picture that shows the feathering of his tail. And as the spring progresses, it will most likely grow in more and I will compare this picture to [...]

Chase’s Coat

26 March, 2008 (11:56) | Chase | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

I think I’m going to take a few pictures of Chases coat over time. Every winter, it seems, he blows his coat to the point where it very thin and ratty. We’ve taken him to the vet and they say it’s allergies. It’s not just in the winter, it’s more like it’s in the [...]

Dogs on the Bed

24 March, 2008 (16:26) | Daily Posts | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

Probably part of my back and neck problems is the number of dogs on the bed with me at night… Lucy and Levi have to be on the bed or they get upset. They are, you know, top dogs in the house and have been on the bed for almost 9 years and so that [...]

I Can Hardly Move

24 March, 2008 (09:12) | Daily Posts | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

Geez. My back is in horrible pain. Lower back, and upper back by my shoulder blades. I think my mattress is bad for me. I think it’s too firm. I didn’t even do much yesterday, sat around with the family and had Easter celebrations. We are not religious, but we like to celebrate the [...]

Left Ankle and Right Toe

20 March, 2008 (08:30) | Daily Posts | By: User ImageCynthia [My Barks!]

Man this getting old stuff sucks. My left ankle is still sprained… yeah yeah I know, stay off it right? Well, that ain’t gonna happen unless all my dogs disappear and I have nothing better do. So it’s braced and I try to take it easy but you know how it goes.
I went [...]
