Yesterday in talking about Pixie to two people, both said that they would never do what we're doing, and would put the animal down - one actually did that (a cat, rather than a dog - who was old - an outside/barn cat), and the other went through the treatment with their dog, and based on that would never do it again, and would put the animal down ( Read more... )

... clear out the snowblower while it's still running.  No, not me.  Amazingly, I know.  My brother.  Caught his finger.  Mom called to say he had an "incident" happen, and was now en route to the ER.  Good thing his best friend is an EMT - first responder type EMT - and helped him out.  We thought that he would have to have something done to deal ( Read more... )

actually, the thunderstorms were much of the night, but around 3am we had some good ones go through, and that was enough to set our oldest pup, Buddy, into a frenzy. He has slowly been developing a fear of these storms, and last night he went balistic trying to get out of his kennel, digging at the bottom of the cage, rattling the door, yelping. ( Read more... )

Canine Fence just showed up. It is a break in the line, and the surge protector is blown. He said this is classic "lightning hitting the ground near the wire, travelling up into the control panel ( Read more... )

MAJOR storms went through this area yesterday - of course, I barely saw anything cause I was in Boston, and it wasn't bad there, but apparently there was some fun around the house. Came home to find power on, but everything OUT. No cable tv. OK fine, easy to deal with. However, the dogs are being weird. As soon as Glenn got home he had let ( Read more... )

My baby turns 14 today. It doesn't seem possible, in both ways - as in, no way can I have a 14 yr old, and no way is she only 14 ( Read more... )

The PT yesterday kinda kicked my butt - but not where you'd think. The ankle part is not the main problem, although it does hurt and is very stiff. Instead, it's the whole leg - I kept feeling like it was cramping up, and nothing helped releive it. I ended up taking a muscle relaxant at bedtime as the pain was pretty bad, and I had a huge case ( Read more... )

PT rougher than normal today. He started me on the bike, which I did ok on for about 2 mins - and even when it wasnt ok, it was more my calf muscles than my ankle, they started to burn. Then the BAPS standing on one foot, then a giant foam pillow, standing on one foot, then the BAPS again sitting with the same bad foot...then ultrasound and BIG ( Read more... )

My right foot hurts so incredibly bad right now. Throbbing/stabbing, and it feels like hot iron bars are inserted in the ankle area. Left foot, no pain! So hell, I must be getting better, right? Seriously having trouble dealing with the right foot pain tho...took Advil, to no avail...don't quite know what to do. still have Vicodin, but I don't ( Read more... )
