Amazing

I know, it may not be as amazing to other people, but I am just in awe of how quickly dogs can recover from things that would take people ages to bounce back from. Penny continues to make little bits of progress. The other day she started catching treats when I toss them to her. [...]

More Improvements

Just fair warning, this is just another Penny update. I know it’s pretty boring reading around here lately, sorry. Two things really stand out to me today. One…Penny is trying to eat out of her bowl again on her own. Yay!!! She’s still not eating a lot, but at least she’s interested enough to eat [...]

What a Week!

It’s amazing that it’s been a week since I took Zoe and Raven in for their dentals. In some ways, it seems like it was yesterday, and in others it seems like ages ago. My husband is feeling better, thank you to everyone for the get well wishes for both he and Penny. Yesterday, Penny [...]

More of the Same

Not much new here to report today. My husband was home sick in bed all day. He says he’s achy and has a bad headache and he keeps getting the chills. I guess it’s some kind of the flu. I sure hope I don’t get it. The weather has been warmer the last few days, [...]

Some Good News

Today started off on a not so great note. Penny had thrown up all over the back of couch cushion in the middle of the night. Her equilibrium was still off, and she still refused food. A little before noon, I decided to try canned cat food to see if that would tempt her. At [...]

Waiting and Walking

So, today while we were waiting to hear something from the vet about the bloodwork, I took Zoe and Dare for a walk. It was almost comical to watch the two of them. Ok, it was more than “almost” comical. My two girls couldn’t be more different if they tried. We walk down to a [...]

Waiting…

Well, today didn’t bring any concrete answer about what is going on with Penny. She was still struggling with her balance and coordination this morning. She has had three accidents in the house today. She refused to eat the chicken I offered her for breakfast. Then she threw up what looked like the remnants of [...]

All Is NOT Well

Tonight is not a great night. Something is going on with Penny. This afternoon I went to take her on a walk with Dare and she started off like usual. Not long into the walk though she was lagging behind and really acting like she didn’t want to go. I figured if she didn’t want [...]

All Is Well

The girls are both home and doing fine. Phew!!! So, the brief story is that Raven ended up having all her front bottom incisors pulled. So, I guess you could say that her underbite is now much harder to see, since she doesn’t have any bottom teeth until her canines. Zoe’s teeth were good. He [...]

Dentals Tomorrow

Tomorrow Zoe and Raven are going in for dentals. I hope all goes smoothly. I’m already getting nervous about it. There has been a thread of discussion on one of the yahoo groups that I’m on about dentals lately. Of course, people have posted all the things that they’ve had go wrong. I just hate [...]
