A fellow DRNA member in Memphis needs to get this sweet red smooth girl from a neglectful home to me to be fostered. I already have two adoption apps on her, and I'm doing the home visits Saturday...

Okay, I just got off the phone with the surgeon. Bailey's surgery went very well and she's already in there trying to stand up (color me surprised). He said that during the surgery her heart rate...

Bailey went in for her disc surgery this morning. It turns out the disc is between C2 and C3, so the surgery will be on her neck, not her back. The surgeon did an outstanding job of explaining to me...

That is precisely how Bailey got the herniated disc in her neck. Hopefully the steroids will help Lulu.

Many :pray: and :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for both of you!

Bailey had a bad pain episode on Thursday so we scheduled her for an MRI. The results came in this morning and she has a herniated disc.

She is scheduled for back surgery on Wednesday. Please...

Nope, just pure dumb luck. I happened to catch them in the split second that they all looked at the same thing. That'll never happen again!

Bailey is doing a lot better. She is down to one medication a day, and is now on modified crate rest. What that means is that she can be out of the crate as long as we can see her and prevent her...

Grover is finally feeling well enough to meet the girls, so that event took place last night. They made fast friends, with Bailey playing the maternal/alpha role (as always), and Peanut being her...

Thanks to all of you for your input. I decided against naming him Bumper II. I finalized the adoption paperwork today, and decided to name him....


(DRUMROLL)...

Grover!!

:banana: :hula1:...

I am on the verge of adopting another doxie/chihuahua mix. He is 2 years old and all black. He reminds me so much of Bumper that I feel like Bumper lives on in him. He even licks my face anytime I...

Poor Peaches! Sending her lots of :bigrayz: :bigrayz: for a quick recovery.

It sounds like what my new little foster has. I picked him up on Saturday, and had him at the vet on Sunday. He had a...

We took Bailey in this morning, and they admitted her for a surgical consult. We were told to call if we haven't heard anything by noon. I called them right at the stroke of noon, and talked to the...

Bailey had her first day at home today. She's staying pretty heavily medicated per the vet, and is in the crate full time. She didn't want to eat when Julie got home this evening, and was trembling....

Bailey was released this afternoon. The vet said Bailey did not present like most dachshunds that come in with a neck issue, in fact her symptoms were more like those they see in large dogs. I guess...

I posted a couple of months or so ago that Bailey had tweaked her upper back and was put on crate rest for 4 weeks. She's been doing much better, and has been gated into the kitchen at Julie's (my...

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. Ugh. :holyshp:

My best friend in Phoenix sent me these salt and pepper shakers for my birthday...

Their noses are magnets so they stick together in a...

Wow, I can't believe all the back issues we're having this summer. That'll teach me to wander away from the board for a few months. Holy cow.

Anyway, I met my ex and Bailey at the vet today for...

Thank you all for some wonderful advice. I was so overcome with emotion (guilt) over the whole disruption of Bailey & Peanut's routine that I wasn't thinking clearly. I do absolutely want what is...

Okay, first of all I should say "I'm back". I haven't been on the board in several months. Have just had a lot going on and am finally in a somewhat settled place in my life after a lot of turmoil. ...

You took the words right out of my mouth! Living in the DC area, it would be much easier (and probably a little less expensive) to find an apartment that doesn't take dogs, but I have never...

Hi gang.

I got home last night to an email from Yolanda that her girl, Sassy, passed away in her arms last night around 6:00pm. She is understandably devastated.

I don't know the details yet,...

Peanut gets very excited, usually once both of her humans have arrived home in the evening. She runs and gets her "binky ball" (more like a modern day security blanket) and climbs up on the back of...

Oh, I feel ya, honey. Peanut is a bed peer when she is displeased. I always keep a pee pad or two down in the house since she never has figured out how to ask to go outside (she always waits for...

So Bailey and Peanut went for their annual check ups yesterday, and while both are worm free and in good health I was mortified to learn that Bailey is now 13 pounds! :huh: That means she has gained...
