Well its a good thing we have customized the house for Mr Beebs lack of leg issue.An old family friend passed away 3 weeks ago and we have inherited his dog Tyler. A 10 year old golden who was born with lame back legs so much so that he was given away instead of destroyed.He hops like a bunny almost as though his legs were fused together. So he gets on the chair climber and him and beebs take turns getting lifted up and down .Eventually if there is any money form the estate I hope we can put in a small elevator. I'm worried that come Winter...sleet and freezing rain and me walking backwards down the stairs with 2 crippled dogs could be dangerous.I'm crossing my fingers we can eventually do that.Getting both guys up to our main part of the house is doable but time consuming and hard on the back.
Beebs is rallying after going back on ciproflaxin.What ever he has in his prostate is not going away.Ever. Its pretty obvious the vets know this too as they re issue more ab's without even seeing the dog. They know from what I describe that it's infection. I hope he'll be well enough to be part of the wedding still.His walking is really painful it appears.I give him adequan shots weekly and it helps his joints.I feel a bit depressed...maybe its wedding jitters or just overwhelmed with the constant stress.I should be excited but I just feel blah and blue.The weather here has been grey and muggy. Not a good Summer so far, it reminds me of one years ago that was rainy and damp from start to finish.Maybe I just need to rest! Take a few days to shore up some energy.The new guy is a good dog but has had 10 years with an elderly man who let him get away with murder.He's a food hound and sneaks food and can't be trusted with food within reach.My guys won't touch anything and are really not that interested in food so dinner time is not relaxing.I stand between them all and make sure the golden doesn't start threatening Beebs and Sydney over food.Eventually he'll understand the rules and realize he's going to eat well and not be such a glutton.Since Beebs won't use his wheelchair we are thinking we should refit it for Tyler.Why not. Thats the latest....
