Re: deciding when it's time

Tessa, I'm so very sorry for your situation and hope that today is a good day with Xena. Could she ride to the park in a child's wagon? Is a front wheel chair an option? Our policy is to do hospice at home with our pets. Some days are good and some are bad. My experience is that a pet usually passes...

Re: "Big Love" improving, but needs wheels

Patrick, Have you done 6 to 10 weeks of crate rest before moving on to wheels? I couldn't afford the wheels for my doxie, but my husband constructed a wheelchair for under $15 with salvaged wheels from a child's toy, eye bolts, clips for the collar, a $1 pool noodle, a used ski headband for back sup...

Re: My dog helped to destroy the dryer

New solution: Got a 3 shelf changing table from the Salvation Army for $14.99. Works great and Schnitzel seems to like it better than the dryer. :thankyou: everyone for your solutions.

Re: Slow?

I like Mozilla Foxfire better than AOL. We've got both and some days AOL is so slow while there is no speed problem with Mozilla.

Re: Urgent-Imm Paralysis, Term/Qual of Life (+Cancer)

I express my dog's urine and bowels. It is not a problem. That shouldn't factor into any decision you make. Incontinence isn't a death sentence. I've gotten down on the floor and pretended to lap water and cat food inorder to get a cat started eating again. I've cooked chicken and made homemade chic...

Re: Urgent-Imm Paralysis, Term/Qual of Life (+Cancer)

I always hate it when a vet gives you an ultimatum. Most of us here have been given this statement at one time or another, and most of us chose to ignore the vet and go with our gut feeling. If you have a sling, you won't be lifting all 105 lbs. I've been pregnant and had to lift other children, and...

Critters,

What is a 3 level table? A changing table may be my next best bet.

Re: My dog helped destory the dryer

When we bought the new dryer at Lowe's, the sales girl wanted to know how we destroyed a dryer in only 4 years. She'd never heard a story about how my dog peed into the control panel. It only cost $500+

Yep, we blew up the dryer.
