Gene, sorry for your loss. It's tough to lose a pet. :'(
My little guy seems to be walking further and I'm getting some walking in too now that I can put him in the stroller. Cliff.

My 10yo Red Heeler Rex sleeps at my feet ever since I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in 2015. Now he is starting to have trouble jumping up on the bed. He's a proud and stubborn dog and doesn't want to be helped. I made him a set of carpeted stairs at the foot of the bed but he won't use them. I wonder how he became so stubborn.

Our “new to us” Bernedoodle likes the shop! I laid out an old sleeping bag and she prefers the floor. Weird.

Sounds familiar, I put one of the dogs beds in the shop but he prefers to lay on the concrete floor by the roll up door.

They’re all a bit nuts. This one turned 4 last week. She only likes her food. My grand kids ate the cake. She’s been here more than 5 months. She’s stuck with us!

Both times Rex had knee surgery we had to keep him doped up the whole time.

We used airplane type pillow collar for Rex. Like you said, way better than the cone of shame.

BenelliSEI · « **Reply #460 on:** December 12, 2023, 10:26:40 AM »

That looks much more comfortable than the “cone”! Hope he heals fast!

Brinley “watching the world turn”. I was trying to balance the rim/tire and she kept stopping it with her nose!

She is just telling you where to place the weights, dogs have good noses!

My three daughter's families all got puppies recently. They post on messenger almost every day about look what my stupid pup did today. Flower pots, rugs, pillows, toys, etc. Two have ponds and can't keep them out of the mud.

Have you guys heard about "Dog named Stella"?!

richmagee7 · « **Reply #468 on:** December 18, 2023, 07:36:19 AM »

Thanks Steve, I smiled through that whole video.

Dave500, can I ask what the operation was for? Taking our 16 year old mix dachsund to vet today, his arthritis and loose knees,patella? are really giving him trouble.

richmagee7 · « **Reply #471 on:** December 19, 2023, 12:23:01 PM »

Thanks Dave, mine has always had loose ligaments around the knees but not necessarily damaged. Trying anti-inflammatory pills for now.

dave500 · « **Reply #472 on:** December 19, 2023, 11:26:52 PM »
