Re: Do you have a doggy door?

We have always had one and Leela has had absolutely no issues. It's a godsend! Even our peke/pom will use it. We put one in the wall upstairs so we could make it tighter for the winter and it works great.

Re: hip surgery

Thanks so much for your post! Leela has trouble getting up now...especially on slick surfaces. But she loves her walks, does not limp, and doesn't even LIKE to run, but does sometimes. She sits sidesaddle and hates to just sit or just sand, preferring to lay down, mostly on one side. Good to know yo...

hip surgery

I'm not on here much any more for several reasons. But Leela just had her hips xrayed again and they tell us they are super bad. Nothing is even really in the joint at all. Starting her on Hills JD. The vet who did her vulvaplasty explained the two types of hip surgery. Leela is 5.5 years. Very heal...

Through the death of a husband, brother, parents, etc...she was my guiding light and totally dedicated to me and only me. I loved her beyond love. When she couldn't ea...

Also, she has let me brush her twice in the last three days. Hmmmmm.....I know my stress level has been down. Perhaps she was...

Strange changes in Chow

I posted before about Leela's itchy tush, and Juniper was a help. But there is more to this saga. When her buddy (and my lab of 16 years) died here at home, she grieved tremendously. We started in a training class and she LOVED it. Then, several months ago she stopped letting me groom her. Now I hav...

So not all of a sudden Leela doesn't want me to groom her. I have taken her like twice a year to a groomer, otherwise done it myself. Since last summer, when Caity died...she has been refusing the comb brush furminator...it don't matter...she runs when I pick it up. Or anyone picks it up. Seems she ...

And I always warm up the kibble with a little bit of warm water to bring out the odors. I know my vet thinks that Eagle is...

Leela has arthritis in her hips, and we give her a shot of adequan once a month. It really helps, plus she is on Glycoflex III.

I'd like to try Leela on wolf king, Solid gold, but I don't want to buy 15 pounds to start out with. And shipping is twice as much as the 4 lb bag. Anyone know of free shipping for a trial?
