Petey is always in our thoughts. We know all about how the uncertainty sucks.

our puppy has lost his two front teeth. please tell me this is normal.

Yep... we'd find teeth everywhere once he started losing them. It was fun when he lost the crazy sharp ones because they hurt like a mofo when he'd bite me when playing.

Petey looks like he's wondering why he's in a room and not being served steak...

That's good news that you have a doctor you can trust. As cliche as it sounds, it makes all the difference when you feel comfortable with a doctor and the plan they set for everything.

Always positive vibes for Petey -- I hope things start turning around with the new medications!

I had a scare today, a doggie ran right out in front of me, locked up all four wheels, the look on that dogs face was probably like mine :shock:

Just got home from Vegas............ where of course I had not seen a dog in 4 days.
Needless to say, a waggin' tail maniac dog greeting me at the door tonight put a big smile on my face!!!!!!!!

People who've never had dogs will never understand how great those moments are!!

This is a dog that clearly does not know I'm going to PJ shows the next few weeks and that he's going to be boarded for the first, second and third time ever in the next month. :(

We're boarding him at a place where a mom&daughter run it out of a house so they have free roam all day and are not crated at night. I hope he likes it - we used to use our parents but they moved so that's out now. Luckily the first two are just overnighters so we don't leave him alone for 12 hours for STL and Indy, but the third is for the MSG shows. Poor Chops!

Gracie is going over to our friend's house while we're in Columbus. She loves it over there. I doubt she'll even notice we're gone.

awwww....i hear that!
i'm sure he'll be fine, but yea, such a tough decision, you always feel guilty. but, don't. sounds like a good place. my current doggies have never been boarded, but someday, it'll happen. right now if mr. dream and i both go away, thankfully my mom just stays over at our house with the doggies. they love it, she loves it. however, mom is 82, so don't know how much longer we can use her dog-sitting services.


i'm sure your baby will be just fine, and hey...pj @ MSg is sooooooooo worth it! and your pup will be so HAPPY to see you when you go home!

Yes that was our old plan - either my mom or dad would come out and stay with us while we were gone and then stay for a while after we got back to visit (and while we were gone they'd visit my sister who is out here too).
Unfortunately medical issues are going to prevent that this time...

The sad thing is that I wouldnt even worry about it except he has one 'bum' leg from a knee injury about 4.5 years ago. He's been fine ever since except for one small weird thing, but of course I watch every step/jump/run like a hawk! So its weird knowing he'll be running around and playing when I'm not there to keep him in line and make sure he doesnt do anything stupid!!!

Don't get me started on them! Another nest popped up this weekend- and we keep the grass short to try to deter them from going there.

One funny thing is that last year when we had a nest in the yard I would let him out front sometimes to avoid having to run around with him... one time it was like 1AM and I let him out and he was face to face with a skunk. Luckily he knew better and went his own way... I just saw this little white stripe streak through the yard and Chops' white paws/chest... stomach dropped/heart stopped. No harm though - I bet they would be best friends if they could combine their powers together.

Gracie and I found a dead bunny at the park yesterday. I didn't really want to, but I put a poop bag on each hand and carried the rabbit to a trash can. I gotta get ahold of my emotions.....I was bummed all morning. :roll:

It's always sadder than I'd think it would be. It happens a LOT here because there are like 4 homes that have dogs that will go after them pls the obvious other reasons that happen anywhere. I always feel horrible when I have to move one out. I guess its only 2-3 times a year, but it sucks every time.

I saw a bunny get hit by a car once and my mom and i were so shocked she actually stopped the car on the middle of the road and we just sat there like this :shock:
Good thing it was late at night there wasn't much traffic out but it was really said i actually was yelling "stop!!!" in the car, but obviously that other driver couldn't hear me...
