Garrett O'Dell, "I became a new mom today, to an old dog who bears my name.She's a Welsh Springer Spaniel, eleven years old. except for two (or three) trips to the whelping box, she has lived her life in a crate. No more. After a trip to the Beauty Shop (daughter Patty, bless her heart.)to remove dreadful mats and ick beyond belief, we came home to meet the fuzzies, eat cookies and learn to countersurf. every room is an adventure, every dog a wonderment, and she still has supper and a clean bed to look foreward to. Water bowls in every room are her biggest surprise and delight. She samples from each one. A new bone and a bisquit vied for her attention, so she carried them around in alternation for a while.Then, unfortunately, she got too rowdy for little Molly the Pap, and has to go in a time-out while I finish yapping about her and prepare dinner.You are probably all going to be very sick of hearing about my wasp-waisted, very tiny Welshie".


Feel Better:

Joanne Callahan’s report on Lima, after her back surgery, “She is doing great thanks to Dr. Rothstein and Dr. Bishop. She receives laser and acupuncture once a week, does PT on the ball & has become very proficient at walking with an ankle weight strap around her waste. It was a beyond costly endeavor to go ahead with her surgery, but the best decision I ever made. Lima is M's daughter and a fighter all the way. Even when she couldn't walk and was dragging herself around the house she still put everyone in their place. Now she is back to 4 small  walks a day without knuckling her back feet. Her hind end sways like a tandem truck as she walks, she says," it's a conscious choice, after all every girl worth her salt sways her hips when she walks...don't they?"

Joanne’s Kato has just been diagnosed with Cushings disease, so he is now on Chinese herbs.  Best to Kato!
