Reece might be hurt

Poor Reese! :( I hope he feels better soon.

I hope Reece is OK. He may have sprained something or pulled muscle. Update us soon!

He's not doing so good today :( When we woke up I picked him up and he started whining. I put him down and he sat still for a minute then crawled under the bed which is what he does when he really doesn't feel good. I called him out and took him outside to potty. He only peed then just stood there staring into space. I noticed he was shaking too.

The only way my vet would take him today is if I dropped him off. So now on top of everything that is wrong, he is sitting in a cage. I'm sure he's screaming his head off right now. I'm at my wit's end. I probably only slept for 3 hours last night and I'm scared to death something serious is wrong with him.

I was hoping that you would have heard something by now. Please keep us posted as soon as you find out anything. Reece is in my prayers.

Aly, like you, Reece is a sensitive soul. He shows his pain....

Don't worry to much. You can smother him with love when he comes home. It happened so suddenly that it is bound to be a muscle pull or something. I think he really knows how to show his feelings too....bless his sweet heart.

I hope you'll get just the right thing to get him back to normal in no time. Keep us posted.

In the midst of all this, I didn't get to share my good news about Lolly. I've had her for over 10 months now, and last night she showed her first bit of confidence ever. I went outside with her when the sprinklers were on and she charged at them, biting the spouts and running through the water. She was having SO much fun. I've never ever seen anything like this out of her. She's usually growling or grumbling about something or other. She gets happy and active when we go to the park or play with her toys, but she's never done anything like attack sprinklers. I am so happy for her. I have high hopes that she can become a "normal" dog even after her abusive past. I am signing her up for agility within the next few weeks.

I really hope her happiness wasn't because last night Tobi happened to be spending the night with a friend of mine. (I had obedience last night and didn't want to leave him alone for so long so my friend took him home for the night).

Aly, I sure hope Reece is doing better – and that the vet has a good answer for his ailing limb. Let us know what you find out – and meanwhile we’ll be sending lots of healing thoughts for him.

I sure enjoyed hearing about Lolly! I petsit for two miniature poodles and they love to play with sprinklers and water from a hose. In fact, I had been wondering if Lolly was doing a bit better when you changed the photos in your signature this last time. That picture of Lolly look like – well, she just has a better spark in her eye!

Best wishes to all your furbabies! And to you too!

Hi Aly,

Poor Reece man :( , It does sound like a muscle pull. :(
Hope the Vet has a good report for you later today.(Prayers)

As for little Miss Lolly, WAY TO GO LOLLY !!! The mental pic
of her charging the sprinklers, brings a big smile to my face. :D
You have given her a new lease on life. A happier girl who I'm
sure knows how much she's loved...

{{{{Aly & Reece}}}}

I sure hope everything is ok with him!! Do let us know what the vet finds out. Hopefully it's a pulled muscle that will heal really quickly! No doubt he'll get lots of loving care from you in the meantime:)

That's great about Lolly!! I can imagine the joy to see her start to build confidence after a rough past.

**hugs** and well wishes are on the way for you and Reece!

Poor little Reece man!:( I know how it pains you Aly to see your babies hurt or ill. But you did the best thing by leaving him at the vet's, even if he's a little "skert" for a while. Try not to worry; hard, I know. But think how relieved you'll feel when you know for sure what's going on. Almost every dog I have had has at one time or another pulled a muscle running, jumping, tugging, etc. They would show the same symptoms as Reece. It really does sound like that's the problem. But we'll keep our paws crossed till we know for sure and he is home, safe and comfy with his Mom. And I can't tell you how happy I was to hear of Lolly's breakthrough. Those are such special moments!!! I know it's all due to the incredible love and trust and confidence you inspire in her!! You and Lolly shuld be very proud of yourselves!!:) Be sure to let us know asap what the diagnosis was!

All tails, paws, and fingers crossed here for Reece too. (((((HUGS)))))

He's back home with me :) Right now he and Lolly are curled up in their bed under my feet. My vet didn't see anything wrong with him so she put him on anti-inflammatory and bed rest for a week. If he's not better by then, he'll have to be sedated and xrayed. He still won't potty, eat, or drink. I'm hoping later today he'll feel good enough to eat so I can give him his pill.

I am feeling a bit better but I have to keep him totally apart from Tobi. Tobi's used to Reece being his wrestling buddy and doesn't understand he's hurt.

Awww, poor Reece :( I'm sorry you had to leave him in a cage, but it's better that he does get checked up as soon as possible!

Glad to hear about Lolly having such a fun time! Put a smile on my face reading about it :)

Aly,
Hope Reece feels better soon! And great news about Lolly! She'll be a big brave girl before you know it :)

Oh the poor little Reecie man :( I hate to hear that he's hurting, but hopefully he'll continue to get better. I know about the bed rest thing...it's no fun but hang in there, Aly and Reece, and everything will be fine and you can kiss your worries goodbye.

Please give the gang lots of puppy (and kitty) kisses for me.

Love,

Leslie, Graham & Kersey
