I know.He is a big love and my bud, so we will fix him. I hate to see him hopping around on three legs. Which, is now what he is doing. Hard to keep him quiet.
Ahhh, a playpen is a great idea if we need to keep him quiet after the surgery. He would be miserable in his crate.When our girl, who is too big for a crate, broke her leg, I borrowed a friend's child's outgrown playpen. It was easy to set up in different rooms so she could be where I was. I don't know if that might help your boy?
As for cost, the girl has been a very expensive dog....more expensive than any other we've had, despite being one of the 'healthier' breeds. It's by no means a measure of how much we love her, ( that cannot be counted) how much we have spent, but just something we have been able to do for her.
Definitely NN! It will be a few weeks before the surgery but he will get lots of love.I'm really sorry to hear about your pup, but I'm glad to hear you've found a good doc. Positive thoughts and lots of pets on "the spot" for him.
That's not you figuring, that's simply you projecting. Enjoy.
I dont know if I can be with anyone who doesnt know what a trapper keeper is.
Mine is spasming again
Mine is crooked and hairy.
I'm sorry to hear about your pup too, Elle. I'm glad you're there for her. Much love and pets.So long as he doesn't try and get out, if he's a jumper it might be worse risk than suffering the crate.![]()
Right now my girl has developed idiopathic megasophagus. No cure, just management. We'll probably lose her to pneumonia as a result.. She is pretty happy, because I am strict about diet, begging at the table and so on, but now she is allowed to beg ( it's better that lying down) she eats at the table with us
and many more times a day, and to try and help her gain weight ( she is painfully thin) and is having cat food and luxury organic Icecream, butter and other such usually not dog appropriate food
. All of which she is fed by hand or from a spoon or fork, mouth ful, by mouth ful, to reduce the risk of her aspirating and getting a lung infection
. I am pleased that her last weeks are indulgent.

It's been a couple of months. We took her to be euthanised recently and she rallied. She is my first dog of a different breed to the one I was brought up with, and she is incredible. Very clever, very funny, and a wicked liar, but also incredibly protective, loving to a fault ( her tolerance of her cats is unbelievable) . The only thing I have really not seen eye to eye with her over is she can be rather bigoted.
but I take the blame, for having kept her in a fairly isolated rural environment, and when our friends who challenge her perceptions of normal have visited she has been rather rude. I am grateful they have spent time with her and forgiven her ignorance and bigotry. I love her despite it, but it has embarrassed me at times.

. G wants to get her a puppy, ( she loves puppies) but I feel too taut I think to take it, though she might prefer a puppy even to Icecream.

Poor baby! Depending on her level of tolerance and energy, a puppy may do her good.
