Yesterday I noticed that Maverick smelled not so good. It bothered me for a bit. So on a break from the Master Preservers class, I looked at his leg. Swollen, red, smells. Called my regular vet and got an appt to drop him off tomorrow a.m.
Of course, neither hubs nor son are available to take...
I've been reading about the pending strike. Not only will it likely affect us as we look for imports to suppy alot of industries, but it will also HURT the export biz for beef, eggs and chicken. Refrigerated containers loaded with American produced protein will not be able to survive too many...
I had to look up Charcot disease. Does he have it in both feet or only one?
Does he have disability insurance via his employer? I would guess that this would be long term disability, if its for several months.
I was in a wheelchair for three months. Hubs had to modify the exterior stairs...
Maverick has been a good boy. Not licking or bothering the 6" incision. Using the leg most of the time. I gave up on using a towel to get him up and down the four steps to the grass. I had ordered a sling, but I'll return it. The biggest issue from here on will be keeping the puppy from wanting...
My 2 yr old cattle dog is zonked out. He gets carprofin (sp?), gabapentin and Trazadone. Space Cadet for sure.

Mavee (Maverick) got thru the surgery for his leg. They put in a plate and 7 screws. We pick him up tomorrow (now today) a.m. at 10:30.
Below was only two sentences of four pages of instructions. Oh great. Cattle Dog Strong will have to be supressed for the next two months...
I want a do over this morning.
Maverick goes in for surgery this a.m. When I let the dogs out of their crates, closed the bedroom door, they raced down the hall and slammed into a bar stool, knocking it over. I softly said bad dogs! Then Mav wouldn't go pee when I let them out back. He just...
Sugar prices are rising fast. So far this year, its up 10.8%. I'm stocked up. How about you?
"The global cost of sugar has surged to its highest level since 2011 following concerns of underproduction rates from India, which has experienced an extreme dry spell that has threatened crops, and...
I clicked on LOVE, but not with a smile. I know this decision has been gut wrenching for you, but your health and your wife's health require focus and dedication. Good decision.
Bad week so far. Poppy the 6th month old Cattle Dog got spayed on Wednesday. She's doing fine as long as I stay with her and her with me. Took off the dang cone after the first nite. We have a soft cone that we used last nite. Much quieter in her crate for sure.
Hubs and I were sitting on the...
