    Where to start.....LOL.....

    One that comes to mind is spending the night on the floor of our vet clinic with him after two of his surgeries! I (hardly) "slept" with the lights on both times cause it was just so creepy to be there overnight. For his first surgery we had fourth-year vet students doing clinical rotations at our clinic and so two students were able to keep him with them up in the apartment our clinic provides.

    I also can't forget the thousands my family and I have shelled out for these surgeries and the follow-up therapy....I never did come up with a total, but clearly he's worth every cent!

    Nice work on your yard, Sophie! Sound like an intense 4 days.


    Many thanks to Roxyluvsme13 & k9krazee for my great new siggy!!

    LOL oh I remember when I first got Giselle. She kept whining and gave me the saddest eyes so I took a blanket and my pillow and hunkered down right next to her crate. We slept head-to-head. I woke up the next morning with the crate bars imprinted into my forehead

    Kirk is just the most lucky dog in the world. Honestly, I could never imagine going through all that emotional and financial stress. Kudos to you, Kate =)

    i bought a house. a house with a fenced in yard with mature trees for shade. a condo downtown, a loft, would have been more sensible given my life, but the wonder dog was with me, and it was better for him to run in a fenced in yard, and with shade, so i bought a house. his need meant the 2 other dogs, angel duke and peanut had/have a home, four cats have homes, and it's all because of alex

    WOW!! Your yard looks GREAT!!!

    I adopted Buddy so Sierra had a "buddy" (that's where his name came from)

    Buddy wakes me up 3-4 times a night to go outside. It's not that he really has to go potty, it's just that he doesn't sleep at night and wants to go check out the yard or something . He'll sit next to my bed and bark these little, tiny woofs until I get out of bed.

    The first night Buddy was home I slept outside his crate on the hardwood floor in my spare room and woke up at one point during the night to find Sierra IN Buddy's crate with him!

    My hubby and I spent a little over $3500 to fence in our yard.
    I've missed several days of work for both of them.
    Right now we're looking to move and I won't buy a house unless it has at least 3 acres for them!

    Great job on the front yard! You will enjoy it even without agility training equipment!

    Dad and I routinely get up from the recliner without putting the foot rest down, so as not to disturb a dog or a cat. It isn't easy or pretty, but the pets must get their beauty rest!

    I have sleep in a ball almost falling off the bed so a sleeping Zippy wouldn't have to move.
    Yesterday I was looking and moving couches and chairs to find a milk cap(one of her favorite toys)for Pumpkin(I never did find it)
    I moved 4 betta fish all in one gallon tanks almost cross country.I think most of my family thought I was crazy.Most people would have rehomed there fishies but I refused.
