NC, it was nice of the clients to hand-make a marker for your dog's final resting place. They loved him, too, and they were able to show you how much by making this lasting tribute to him. I think that's really wonderful of them! Hugs to you and Bookworm and Wiggles because I know the loss has to have hit you hard.

How's that new baby?!

My dog Zoey just got bit by a racoon.. She has a gash over her eye and one in her ear. This happened at about 11 pm. Luckily the people that are staying with us offered to take her to the emergency vet. I can't drive because of my condition or go with them. I'm so stressing right now. Her eye was full of blood, but that was mainly run off I think. She squealed so loud I think they heard it for blocks. They are supposed to call me after they look at her. Fricken damn racoons why the hell would they bother her? She's 5 and mellow. Sasha our other dog was running out right before it happened so they think maybe she scared the racoon and it attacked Zoey. Anyways DH is working and my son had just gone to bed.. I needed to vent somewhere.. By the time anyone reads this it will all be over..LOL

I'll come back and post how she is tomorrow.

Oh, MGA, I'm so sorry about your Zoey. Hugs to you and prayers for your dear doggy. Keep us posted, okay? We have raccoon problems here, too, but they just steal the cat food outdoors and have never attacked anyone here, thank goodness.

Thanks Sia!! Well, it was a racoon, but scratches/clawed not bitten. The ear wound is pretty bad I guess. She's got a chunk missing over her eyebrow. They have to keep her over night. I want my baby back.. She was "our" first dog together, DH and mine. She's like our child together, lol.

I guess this is what emergency visa's are for .. Yikes! $500.00 worth of stuff. I asked if it would be any cheaper if we waited to see our normal vet in the morning, but it didn't sound like it would be much less. What else can you do? Luckily we have the means to do at least that.

I still want to know how it got inside the fence. I'm thinking it and Zoey were checking each other out through the fence maybe, and then Sasha went barreling out there and scared it.

Now I have to sit here and listen to Sasha whine because she knows Zoey is missing. She's locked in my room with me by a baby gate. Grrr. It's going to be a rough night.

Still waiting for Zoey to come back from the vet.. :(

MGA, I'm still waiting with you!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Zoey is OK. Those racoons can be really nasty, but possoms are worse. What kind of dogs are Zoey and Sasha?

Oh MGA, I hope you hear something soon about Zoey. It's terrible waiting and not knowing what's going on. Thinking good thoughts for dear Zoey, and for you.{{{{Zoey & MGA}}}}

Ok.. She's back.. She looks so sad.. Kind of dopey. Her leg is shaved where the IV was. Her eyebrow is shaved and sutured. The ear is the worst. Lot's of suture's there. She's sleeping right now on the bed between me and her "daddy".
Snoring away.. Sasha went crazy showing her concern. She'll be on antibiotics for the next 10 days.

Owl.. Zoey is a shepard mix. She looks similar to a shepard markings wise, but she has wrinkles like a sharpei in her face and neck. She is so cute. (IMO of course..lol)

Sasha looks like a Rott or Dobi. She has those markings, but she is very big and tall. She has a "fluffy" tail that curls. She has a few patches of white in her chest, and white hairs in her tail. I just told Kaili that if I didn't know better I'd swear she has great dane in her.

I've got some pictures to post, but don't want to gross anybody out. (They are post surgery.) So I guess I'll post them in my folder if you want to come look. (I have a link in my profile) It will be awhile before I get it all done though.

Thanks for the concern everybody. It means a lot.

I'm so glad your doggie is okay! I've had racoons in my yard and I have a 6 foot fence. They can climb it! I've also had a racoon try to come in my doggie door. Crazy creatures. I'm surprised it injured your dog -- the dog must have cornered it because I don't think a racoon would attack such a large dog unless it thought it was defending itself. They tend to be scared of dogs from what I've seen.

Thanks Calamity and Brenda...

Brenda, we are pretty sure that she was checking out the racoon, and the other dog, who was in the house, smelled it or something and took off fast out the door. The second dog was the one who scared the racoon, but Zoey got the worst end of the deal. There was no noise or barking before it happened.

Poor Zoey, she's had a rough day. She is just now waking up from the anesthesia.
We're having a real hard time keeping Sasha from licking Zoey's wounds/sutures. It's almost like she's trying to make up for causing her the pain.
They gave us a huge collar for Zoey to wear so she doesn't scratch, but it doesn't keep the other dog away from her head..lol

We're keeping them apart by baby gate, but then the whining starts again..geesh!

Gotta go, Survivor's on here!

I was thinking about weird quirks my dog has,thought it might be fun to post. Like,Pamy's dog likes to chew on butts!

My dog Lola has the strangest thing with the vacuum cleaner. She goes into absolute fits over it,jumping all around it,and has this awful loud,high-pitched bark. It's gotten to where I have to put her outside just to vacuum.

She has also developed absolute hatred for the UPS trucks. If she hears or sees on on the street she goes into a frenzy,like attack mode. I hate to think what she'd do if she ever got ahold of a UPS guy. Freak dawg!

LOL Hippy!

My dog, Jake, loves to sit in the windows downstairs (I live downtown in my town). Everyday, this one man walks in front of the house for exercise. Jake will look out for him every morning and when he sees him coming, will run and get his ball and put in on the window ledge. The man will tap on the window and Jake goes ballistic! But his tail is wagging the whole time, LOL.

Jake will also stand in the window and not move. I've been asked probably about 50 times if he is real or a statue. The smaller kids on the school busses all look to see if he is in the window.

That's too cute,Ddr. Ya have to wonder what he's thinking when he's standing staring out the window?

My one dog Bomba has so many quirks. When I was in a novelty store one time, I saw a refrigerator magnet that says, "Warning, strange dog." The only thing that would have made the magnet more perfect was if it had said "psycho dog." I bought it anyway, and it is proudly displayed on our fridge.

Picture an 87 pound German Shepherd/Lab mix (actually, you can see him in my profile. Purple collar). Then picture him chasing a red laser beam dot all over the floor like a cat.

He goes psycho when you slap your hands on your face like the Home Alone kid.

He gets so excited when you proclaim you are going to "go outside and clean up poopies." As you say each word in the sentence, he gets more and more excited, until he just about bursts at the seams when you say the last word.

He loves the garden hose. The minute you even head for the outside water spigot, he is running down the length of the hose to find the end and start shaking the heck out of it and playing with the water. He would play with that until he collapsed if we let him. Usually, when he starts chuffing with loss of breath, we turn the water off, and he still is begging for more.

When Mom or I sing, he'll often start talking (not quite singing, though he's done that too). Most of the time he either tries to drown us out, or he comes over and tries to eat the words out of our mouths (probably in an attempt to drown us out).

Whatever chew toy his brother Boomer has, he has to have it RIGHT NOW. They both love those Nylabone Dinasaurs. They have several to choose from. But Bomba MUST have the one that Boomer is chewing, even if there are three other dinasaurs laying within reach.

There's more. I just can't come up with them yet.

Whoami, has your dog ever been on "America's funniest pets"? He sounds so cute. My Hudson also love the laser beam light, but the dog poopie thing is strange. Hudson hides when he sees me cleaning up his droppings! lol

About 8 or 9 weeks ago, the sweetest dog(must have been dropped off)came to our business. He's a black Lab, guessing he was about 7 months old. He had fleas, worms, and looked like he was on his last leg...oh, and he has the sweetest and saddest carmel colored, "puppydog eyes". Anyway, no one came looking for him, no ad was ran in the papers. We gave him a bath, he was so dirty...treated he for the flea, and worm problem, and got him his shots. At first I didn't want to get attached to him, afraid someone would claim him. Then we were looking for a good home for him, no home was good enough(DH loves the dog too)! So this week, we took him to the vet for that little "snip snip", we didn't want to do this to soon, incase the owner really lost their dog.

Sooooooooo now he is ours! He is the best dog in the world, everyone that meets him wants him(especially after they look into his eyes). I can't amagine anyone giving him up.

Are you wondering what we named him? Well, our neighbor's grandson was there the day the dog came to us...he wanted to name the dog "Shelby" and we didn't want to hurt the little boys feeling so we said ok. DH calls the dog "Poouch"(let it be known I hate this one). Now the same little boy says he wants to call it "Poouch". I would've love to have given him a name of our choosing, but he comes to us no matter what we call him. So, I'm going to stick to "Shelby" it really doesn't matter what he's name is....cause we love him.

OMG, I sound like a dog lover!

Our cat isn't as thrilled with the idea...he's behaving like a guard cat. And the dog could care less if the cat is there or not...it's funny to see them together.
