I always say I am going to volunteer for the Lab rescue. There is a huge one that does the whole state of Florida though and I laugh at their requirements.... they'd never let me adopt much less foster. So I foster horses instead :D (well, Buddy was my first and only foster.. he is still...

Yeah we went through this last summer... only it was a long streak of days with heat index of 116*. Every 2-3 hours I was out wetting her down and it was insane. Now that I can turn them out in the part of my parents yard with the old pecan trees and pear tree there are parts of the yard in...

No I haven't... I didn't know that. Last year the vet sent several different types of meds and finally said either I could bring her up there and let them try to put her in the AC and "shock" her body into sweating or I could hose her down everyday. It was late enough in the summer I just hosed...

it is already ridiculous with a heat index of 104.... And OF COURSE when I go out to check on the horses, Skye is not sweating. She did this last year and I had to hose her down for 15 minutes or so several times a day. I wet her down good and let them out in my parent's yard - lots of big...

Here's hoping! I was concerned about him being so lame this weekend, but the surgeon said he would be very surprised if he wasn't lame, it has only been 2 weeks this Wednesday. I also mentioned that he seems to be kind of cow hocked now, but the vet wasn't concerned about that either - he said...

Awww yay! Rio is POW... I like him better in that pic today than I do in real life :lol: ;) I went outside to feed the chickens and rabbits and left Rio in the house. My rabbits are getting big and I don't think my "dwarf" rabbits are very "dwarf-like! I 'll have to get them a new pen built...

Sage is just stunning isn't he!?!?! WOW what a dog! At 9 months my Rio was a little over 90lbs - he topped out at 111 and 27" at the shoulder - so Sage is going to be a beast LOL We went fishing and loaded up on catfish. I would have paid money for my 13yr old nephew to land a 13 pounder...

LOL He has mastered tilting his head way up so he can get past my bed and the nightstand. I thought about one of those comfort collars but he only has 10 days (nights) of wearing it. Of course, that is when he was only supposed to have one knee operated on too ;)

I read through Rio's discharge instructions and PT book a couple more times and made an executive decision to stop using the sling. He has been doing great! He even tries really hard to behave when I leave him at my folks while I go to work. Yesterday though, he took to sitting at my dad's...

Hope you feel better soon! Rest up - the more you let your body heal the sooner you will be out stirring up trouble.... I mean.... working in the yard... again.

OFG ---- have you fainted from the heat? Did them pigz carry you away? Are you on a runway tour with Princess Kai?? Do you need bail money?

Agreed SD! Abi - he fought pit bulls , had a huge dog fighting organization. If the dogs didn't fight / win then he and his "buddies" killed them in horrible horrible ways. OFG - when my broody hatched out 3 chicks and 2 died I felt bad and decided to get 2 chicks. HA she totally...

I am a loan officer at my job. Just some tips: For quick results - try to get something paid off, - dispute the $600 charge with the credit bureau that is reporting it - chances are the financial institution can't or won't do anything with it unless you go that route - most states don't...

I'll ask my vet if they have an idea. Technically all I'm doing is keeping him from putting his full weight on that leg - he is ready to go running, barely limps at all unless he has laid on that side for a long time. I go back Aug 1 to have his sutures (wire) taken out and see the surgeon for...

Cucumber water? I've never heard of such.. I 'll have to try it! So just to add to your "hot" pain.... the forecast high today in Florida is 87* I'm gonna go dig out a longsleeved shirt. ;) :P

exactly So Rio is home, next to me, "resting"..... please notice his tail is a blur because it is wagging furiously. *sigh* lol

Oh he walks great now when he gets away from me (in the house) Jerk. Barely even a limp unless his LEFT leg is bothering him :th . Do you know how long I have to assist him with the sling? Please say only the first week :lol: You mean the truth about him being excitable? Everybody who...

Ok, thanks... It just seemed really swollen , more than what I was expecting! He is good today - a little swelling but no bleeding and a lot of bruising is gone. He is so bad though - seriously can't handle being indoors without me. I gave him some Ace last night so I could leave him with my...

Boy I wish I could find hay $2 a bale!! Ours is running $3.75 in the field! I was supposed to go get some tomorrow but he cut it and then it rained... typical.

ok... I know there is going to be some pretty good swelling and bruising - the poor dog basically had his leg broken. But his leg is HUGE. I have done the massage / range of motion / cold packs as directed. He is on anti-inflammatory (won't have another til 9pm) and Tramadol. I think I am...
