thanks everyone, she's just as sweet as she is cute.  those newer pics of her (i took them on friday) are a bit deceptive though. her ears actually aren't up yet, she just happened to be looking up in both of them. they are close to coming up, though, i think.

Lola is a doll baby Jbean! I love when they get that long leggy look - something I would kill for!! My chi Gracie got fixed the other week and was running and jumping like usual 2 days afterwards. They gave her dissolving stitches on the inside and glued her outside skin together. But I do have a question for everyone, will she outgrow the humping urge??? She only does it to me and only on my arms. I tell her no and to settle down but sometimes she is obsessed to hump!

lol! My dog is 10. She still humps sometimes, only when there is loud chasing, tickling, wrestling going on with the people in the family. She is told loudly and sternly "No!" I almost feel bad, her ears and body just droop. But I don't want her doing that! I never understood why female dogs do that. I always assumed it was a male thing.

Update on Toby...It has been nearly 3 weeks since his injury and he is still lethargic and slow, but he is walking up and down the ramps now. I'd say he is about 65% of his old self. I've decided I"m gonna take him to the vet on Friday because I'm slightly concerned with his heavy breathing and weight. I know the prednisone has side effects, but if those side effects are going to exacerbate his back problem by increasing his weight, that seems odd. Resort, thank you for posting your experience with Sophie. I had forgotten that happened to her. She recovered fully as best I can tell...that is very comforting. Thank you to all who have been asking about Toby and thinking of us. I'm still optimistic he'll get better, but I continue to feel as though we are missing a diagnosis somewhere that will make all of these pieces fall into place.

Hello: Glad to meet other animal lovers, my husband & I are retired & foster for a local rescue group. We have 2 dogs & 2 cats, all rescues, Clancy, a Spaniel, Lab & St. Bernard mix, Emily Anna, a Border Collie & Huskey mix, Zep & Kit, ages 14 & 1. On the day I signed up my neighbor lost her Yorkie & I wondered if anyone can tell me where I can get a copy of the Rainbow Bridge? My computer is about as old as I am so nothing to hard to copy please! Glad to be on board!

Welcome GrGranny, what a great volunteer job you have! I can only imagine how pretty (and big) Clancy must be to have that mix in him. You will have to post a picture of him for us to see.

Thank you Beachcomber, he is a good looking dog. He was the last pup from our first batch of fosters, Moma & 9 puppies, we had just lost our 12 year old dog to cancer & I was not ready for another, ended up with 10! We love fostering, right now we have 2 Shepherd pups, about 7 weeks, cute as buttons, like to chew toes. As soon as I can figure how to send a picture I will, Clancy is about 85#, sleeps at the foot of our bed!

Hi Grgranny!!! Yay to you for doing such good work! I just go the book "Shelter Dogs" by Peg Kehret. It is all (well I haven't read them all, but I think they are all) happy short stories about shelter dogs. It is probably for a teenager or jr. high level of reading, but good stories anyways...

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER...

Our grandson was 15 at the time, he called everyone Holmes, guess it was the "word" of the teens at that time,the pup was just 5 weeks old & we just added the sie so he would know who we were talking to. He was a collie/golden mix & a great dog for the 12 years we were allowed to share his life.
