Maggie update: Maggie got her 'cast' thing off on Tuesday night. I was shocked at how tore up her forearm is. I thought it was one cut but it is a couple puncture wounds and then a slice that is stitched .. you can see a little of it in the picture. She's still on pain meds and antibiotics. And she's a 'cone girl' for the next two weeks. Animal control has taken a full report from us and from the owners of the lab. I believe it is now up to the city whether or not they will be prosecuted. Either way, we're glad that Mags is on the mend and should heal nicely!

((Mags and Vnicky)) Glad the little nipper is doing so well, and I must say she's cute in her little conehat although its probably not the most comfy contraption, eh?

Poor little girl....she makes my heart melt!! Thank god she is getting better. I know you are spoiling her rotten, I know I would! Survey just out and in Seattle most attacks are from pit bulls and labs are coming in second.

Vacanick, poor Maggie! What a horrible time you both went through. Glad to hear things are better and she's on the mend. Super G, they are getting SO BIG and still BEAUTIFUL!

Maggie
Emmett & Sonny The rescue never responded after I asked about making arrangements to have Kiwi spayed. But they did email a mass urgent appeal for money so I concluded that it's likely I'm on my own with getting Kiwi fixed. Have been working with Kiwi off the leash in the yard and she's really very good. Yesterday she had a ball playing in all the new snow. Still has problems with jumping up on people - we figured that was due to her being kept tied up all the time. She's afraid of thunderstorms too - again, we think that being kept tied outside could be a factor there. She would never come in the basement but a few weeks ago we had a thundersnow storm. I went downstairs for something and I guess the storm was scarier than the basement because she finally came down. It was kinda funny watching her, she'd take one step, stop, look around, and repeat. When she finally got to the bottom she ran over to me. My little kitty Linus is horrified that "his" basement (seriously, he thinks it's his territory) has now been invaded by the big dog, lol!

Serate, how's Jack coming with his bite issues? Jeepers, this thread is useful! Got a call from my Aunt this afternoon. My Sis had brought up a little girl Shih Tzu (named "Bunny") a little over a year ago. So, come summer I guess she will be 2 yrs. It was for mainly Aunt's older granddaughter who loves animals. They bonded and Bunny tended to sleep with J**. Lately Bunny has started nipping, cut the skin on face of another younger grandchild. She's become so protective of J** that she's started nipping her Sister for getting too close to J**. I suggested the Cesar books and they already have them (some issues still with accidents in the house at times). So I told her I would print out all the advice everyone gave to Serate for Jack about the biting. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it helps. Serate, can you say what helped the best? Thx Everyone for some great advice back in the Archives!

Vacanick, so sorry to hear about Maggie. I'm so glad she is doing better. That picture of her laying down with her cast/bandage thing makes me want to just scoop her up and cry. It was good to see the other pics of her up and about!

I love all the recent pictures! I went back to Oscar on the couch. I could stare at Oscar all day! (Harley too!) Gizmo is so cute, what a great name! Gizmo looks like a Gizmo! Superg, does Emmett collect toys? I'm sure he ate up all those bones! I always think it's so funny when dogs are collectors! (My Cassidy turned into a collector over the past couple of years. She wasn't one in her youth. She shows visitors (and us) various things in her collection too. It's so funny!)

Here is Casey taken a couple of weeks ago. Yesterday, he grabbed my leg and started humping it! He's not quite 4 months old yet, but I guess it's time for his little surgery. Heh.

Took both my girls to the vet today for their Comprehensive exams. When the vet tech was filling out their forms, she checked the "Heartworm" test box for Whitney, even though she was not due for one of those. Turns out it was a good thing she did, because Whitney tested positive for Ehrlichiosis. They've put her on antibiotics and I think she'll be fine. She is most likely in the subclinical phase. It's a tick-borne disease and I know she hasn't had any ticks on her recently...but she tested negative on her last test 6 months ago. So, she either didn't have it then or was in the acute state. Aside from an occasional fever, she hasn't had any symptoms, so I think we were really lucky to catch it. I would definitely say the hand of God was guiding the Vet tech to check the wrong box.

Cdbga, I don't know that that is, but I hope it gets cleared up quickly. I'm happy to see your post, though. I've been wondering how you and the girls are doing, since haven't seen you around for a while. Now, how about some Whitney pics?
