could be. The other morning, the phone got me out of bed. This is what I found when I got back to the bedroom:

oh MAN i used to LOVVVVVE when Surf did that! I would get reddie for work and when i came back to my room there he was EXXXACTLY like gracie! And if i would make noise or move something, he'd look at me like "hey! im trying to sleep!"

I hope to meet some of you "dog people" tonight in Seattle!

LOVE IT!!!!!!

Not doing good tonight.... :(

I will be talking to vet tomorrow....

Trix just fell down tonight, and started crying... it broke my heart...
i gave her some pain meds, and she is walking funny and will not come up on the couch...
so i helped her up, she layed their whimpering, with her head on my lap. That was a couple hours ago.

Well just now she went outside, came back in, got her treat and went to jump on the bed to go to sleep, and she went down on the bed crying again.... i layed their with her for a few to calm her down...

never meant to be a downer, but i know some of you know whats been going on. Thought i would share that incase i might not be myself in the next week. I have been super excited to get to see 3 shows, but this just brought me back to earth...

it kills me to see her in pain... just fucking kills me inside...

make the pain go away....make the pain go away.....make the pain go away....help the pain go away.....

PJ_ROCKS, I will be thinking about you and Trix. It hurts so much to see our good doggies in pain. :(
Take care and please keep us all updated.

ron i too am speechless...i hope trix can get some relief...can't begin to imagine what it's like to see your friend go through that

stay strong

That's really rough, pj rocks. I'm welling up thinking about it. There are no word that exist to express just how shitty it is when your fuzzy pal is in pain. Our friends are going thru a similar thing with their dalmation - they refuse to talk about the inevitable. My thought are going to be with you and I'm hoping you'll at least get some good news...hugs...

Thanks all of you....

So i just got back from the vet....

We had a few xrays taken, and it showed that she has an issue with her spine, the lumbar/sacral sterosis.
the sacral is not lined up with her lumbar. Then as he is showing me the xrays, he says where is her splean, her intestine looks all bunched up , so he says lets take another xray. Well as we both saw from the first xray,
the second one confirmed, her intestine is all "balled" up with a massive amount of mass where it should be! :shock:

There was a specialist their and he asks her to come over and check it out, for a second oppinion. She then says the mass could be just faty tissue, but would not know unless she went under the knife. Well both the vet and i say she cant go under the knife again, the last time almost killed her.

She then starts feeling her stomach and as she is doing it, Trix starts to shake, and at the same time, the vet says i feel something abnormal... She asks me about previous surgerys and i say the only one was when she was fixed when she was a puppy in that area... nothing else on her stomach. she has this look like really...

I tell both of them, i do not want her to suffer!!! They both tell me we will do an ultra sound when you get back, and will decide then what to do...

They both go one to say that she looks so happy and acts like a puppy, which she does. Like nothing is wrong.

The first thing doesn't sound good but the "acts like a puppy" does.

I'll see you in SLC. I hope PJ can take your mind off off this for a few hours....
