Re: Found a great harness that supports front and back ends

Hi Ellen, It is sad news that Sadie's osteosarcoma is in her shoulder & elbow, worse that it has likely metasized in her lungs. Crap! 11 is a great age for a Swiss Mt x...but it is never long enough for us, caretakers / pet parents. I give fish oil because it a great natural anti-inflamatory for...

Re: I've lost Mini, but thank you for the help

I'm with Christine on this...for all her reasons. I can understand your fears of losing another or financial / emotional concerns if the new baby has troubles. We all go through that, it's life, no guarntees but if we do not risk opening our homes & hearts to pets they never get to have a happy ...
