Are We as Therapeutic to Them as They Are to Us?
Thu, 20 Nov 2008 20:42:29 +0000
It's been a week since Murph's cast has come off, but he hasn't quite been the same. In fact, I'd venture to say he's been a little depressed.
His appetite's still okay, and his ears perk up at the offer of chewie sticks or Scooby Snacks, but he just hasn't quite been himself.

In addition to the flurry of catalogs stuffing my mailbox these days, I've also gotten a slew of donation requests from various animal organizations. I'd love to help all of them, but, just like everybody else, money's tight lately.

Treating Flatulence in Pets
Fri, 14 Nov 2008 23:21:55 +0000
For the last week or so, my German shepherd mix Moose has been extremely gassy. I used to think my dog Miko had bad gas (he would toot when he was nervous -- even the vet had to open a window) but this is pretty awful.
In Moose's case, I don't think nerves are the problem.

Cast Off Day!
Fri, 14 Nov 2008 03:11:37 +0000
We woke to much anticipation and excitement in our house this morning. After eight weeks, today Murph was set to get his cast off.
I woke up early so I could get him to the surgeon's office a little after 7:30 a.m. But before we left, I lay on the floor with him and petted his belly.
