How kind of you to give her a warm home. I'm sure she knows she is loved and well cared for even though she doesn't like to be held or touched.<br /><br />lol@ ambien for dogs. I remember driving to Ohio once and taking my ex husband's min pin along for the ride and her vet said we could give her some xanax. I swear to gosh, it didn't do a thing for her! She cried and whined the whole trip from FL to OH. In retrospect it would have been better if I took the Xanax instead.Sherrismileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560034235129602314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136763350284688012.post-17860168186859210822011-01-17T12:07:04.821-05:002011-01-17T12:07:04.821-05:00Oh sweet Suzi, what a precious funny girl.

She had lice and all, every single one, of her teeth had to be pulled. He fell in love with her at first sight. She lived to be 18 years old, and everyone who met her adored her. We were glad to have given her a home who loved and appreciated her just for herself for the last third of her life.Venomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954234690814697536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136763350284688012.post-26157891366249940902011-01-17T09:42:30.648-05:002011-01-17T09:42:30.648-05:00We have an elder boxer.

He was around for their births. I remember my mom saying he might eat Ethan when we brought him home- that was almost eight years ago. <br /><br />Apollo is also losing his ability for potty training. Did I mention Apollo is an inside dog?

My grandmother had Alzheimer's and she did some things that we laugh about even now, years after she's gone (throwing her teeth because she DIDN'T want to get in the car).

I had my puppy for 8 years & then when I had my 2nd I had to let him go live with some friends. I cried for weeks. I still get really sad and it has been almost 3 years. I know that he is so happy where he is now, they can give him the attention he used to get pre marriage, pre babies. He lost 25 pounds & is so much healthier because he gets excersized. I am still sad though. Sigh. <br />Ok so I am still cracking up at Mamarazzi's comment about boys being dumb & believing anything. hee-hee, that is SOOOO true!Myyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248342096609316500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136763350284688012.post-29005156256898420362011-01-17T00:59:06.276-05:002011-01-17T00:59:06.276-05:00aww poor baby. whe we got Coco my little Chiweenie...aww poor baby. whe we got Coco my little Chiweenie 7 months ago my husband made me promise that when she got old and sick and needed any kind of surgery or medication that we would just let her go.<br /><br />yeah, like THATS gonna happen.<br /><br />boys are so dumb, they will believe anything!!Mamarazzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11053091142306052509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136763350284688012.post-89001953021159565802011-01-16T23:23:39.412-05:002011-01-16T23:23:39.412-05:00Oh that is funny and so so sad.

You know that one night my husband dropped a Mid-Night pill and Skye ate it. I freaked out but actually read that the ingredients in it they give to dogs to settle them down from fireworks. Maybe the vet could give her something.Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5136763350284688012.post-34598828602160757372011-01-16T22:06:47.496-05:002011-01-16T22:06:47.496-05:00Aww.

Our family's 13-year-old chihuahua mix has "selective hearing"...he doesn't bark anymore when someone comes up to the door, unless the other dogs warn him first. But if you mention food, he can suddenly hear. It's the strangest thing. He has recently acquired the incontinence where he doesn't even know he's using the bathroom. We blame this on him slipping a disc in his back several years ago. It breaks my heart that there's nothing we can do for older dogs. It's a miracle they've lived as long as they have. You're such a sweet soul to take in foster pets. :)Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08542006311190052093noreply@blogger.com
