Wow, lots of posts since I was last here. Karen - when I was a kid, my beloved dog Kelly was poisoned. While we believed it to be intentional, we couldn't really prove that something toxic had not just accidentally been left too close to the fence that separated our yard from the neighbor's. Funny, it was something I hadn't thought about in YEARS until I read your post and now I'm all sad and mad about it again. Wargod, I'm glad to hear that Ozzy is on the mend. You might want to check out Handicapped Pets.com...they have a lot of resources for disabled, elderly and injured pets. Depending on Ozzy's recovery needs, you may find something helpful there. I've never used them myself, just came across them while doing a search for harnesses for Whitney. But they have links, support groups, products, services, discussion boards, etc. Sun, I'm glad things in court went your way, and sorry you had a bad night. I hope the dogs did finally quiet down and give you some peace. And, I think that is about it! I've noticed that Whitney's harness is rubbing her raw in places and read that having her wear a T-shirt under the harness might help. So, she's been wearing a T-shirt for the past few days and it does seem to be helping. I feel a little silly walking a dog in a t-shirt, but you do what you have to do! And she doesn't seem to mind much, as long as I am quick and gentle when putting it on and taking it off. Once it is on, she'll wear it without "complaining".

SG, you have no idea how much this little pup has meant to all of us. I know I would have lost my mind while Devin was in Iraq if I didn't have him here and he honestly does own all of us. He's a little thing to own so many adults but what can you do? LOL! Here is a picture of when he was looking so pitiful. He has been sitting in "the sick chair" we all laugh since that's the chair we all gravitate to when we're sick and so did he. Now that he's feeling better he prefers his dog bed or floor again. Now I ask ya, how could ya not know something just wasn't right when you look at that face?

Riley's just too cute for his own good, lol! Yesterday before I told the kidlets about Ozzy, Dakota was sitting on the couch with Harvey, who had his head in her lap. She looked up and said, "Mom, how could you resist a face this cute????" I cracked up, but at the same time it was kinda like when you hear about a child getting hurt and you have to grab yours and hug the stuffing out of them. I just had to sit down and spend some time loving on him. Sis picked Ozzy up a while ago. She arrived in time to watch them do a laser treatment on her. I don't know what it's called and she wasn't explaining it well except to say that they run the laser over her entire body and it's supposed to help the bones heal 40% faster. The lady who does the treatments works out of Rosamond, which is 15 minutes away from us, but she drove into town because she said that'd just be too far to drive Ozzy. I guess they'll be doing it once? or twice? a week. Ozzy has never in her life been crated, but she's taken to it like a pro. Sis said she's so comfortable and doesn't seem to mind being in a confined space at all. Of course my nieces have helped tremendously. The little one gave up a baby blanket, and the older one gave up a throw pillow on her bed, then they found her a couple small stuffed animals to keep her company. They're just estatic to have her home. So, after getting her set and all, the vet wants her crated now for three weeks. Then probably another three to heal most of the way. He thinks she'll probably walk with a limp but no idea how bad it'll be yet. He did suggest putting those puppy pee pads (is that what they're called?) in her crate and leaving her there to potty for a few days rather than taking her out. Sis is wondering if this will cause her to revert back to needing potty training afterwards? Does anyone know?

Wargod tell your sister at this point who cares if Ozzy has a couple of accidents in the house. Tell her we are all so glad Ozzy is doing better. We will all pitch in for pee pads! LOL.

I have another great picture I want to share, but it is not of dogs. I hope no one objects if I post it here anyway, since we don't have a horse thread
These horses were being kept in the field across the road from my house. The baby colt had just been born and was standing for the first time. Okay, no more non-dog pics here.

My brother just called me last week..he was getting his mare bred the next day. He said he called me because of anyone in the whole world I would understand why he's so excited. I told him he will never beable to last the whole year til the colt gets here. Here is a picture of Private Dancer, the daddy to be. http://www.elkrunfarm.com/PrivateDancer.html

Fun pictures from Slinkydog (loved your poopie dogs and the beautiful horses and the colt!) and the link from Supergranny (daddy is gorgeous and I'll be waiting for the colt-to-be too!). So the real reason I'm here is to tell you all that Dixie the Doxie has arrived to our home! She's a mini black/tan dachshund and just 6 weeks old. Pictures will be posted after she wakes up from her nap. We had to drive out to Palmdale (hi War!) to pick her up this morning and with the 90 minute car ride, new human smells and new surroundings....we have pooped our little Dixie Doodle out! And for those of you who know about Oscar, our 10 year old doxie, well he sniffed her over and seems to be okay with her moving in. We're crating Dixie and it's going to be so hard for me not to allow her to sleep with us like Oscar does, but I think this will be best for all of us.

Riley, hope you're feeling bouncier! That sad face would have me fussing over him, for sure. Micksma, Freddie is a darling! How wonderful that you rescued him! War, I am so relieved to hear that the vet and your relatives worked something out so they could afford the medical bills. I sure hope Ozzy heals well. Please keep us updated about his progress. {{{Cdbga}}} Slinky, I love your pooches, Bobby, Shadow and Roxy! (You were right, we did need some smiles in here.) They really look like love-loves. And Rock, wow, what a gorgeous coat! So beautiful! All of them look like they are sweet-tempered, too. (Great horse pic, too. Love the wobbly baby--and OG's right, he/she is getting loads of attention!) Supergranny, the horse is spectacular. (Like its name, too.) Can't wait to see the offspring! Coco! I can't wait to see pix. I hope Oscar and Dixie become fast friends. So Oscar sleeps in your bed now? Probably a good idea not to give him competition there anyhow. Very exciting news! Congratulations! ETA: Aww, Nic, just saw your post. Your Maggie is a dollbaby. She looks like a sweet diva!

Mom's doxie was a rescue dog. He was six when she got him. He is loving and very sweet. We can't imagine anyone abandoning him.
