Please think of my AnnaBelle today!

((HUGS)) Kim, if only they could talk and tell us what is hurting or bothering them. But you did what you could as soon as you found out about the sore area.
I hope she gets her cart today and can be suspender free by Christmas.

My vet couldn't work her in early, so she will be going in with Henna at 1:30 p.m. No more suspenders for AnnaBelle!!! I went out a bought a velcro diaper wrap that hopefully will help to hold her diaper on when she scoots around. I pray that she will take to her cart quickly, so she won't have to do much scooting anymore ... just during rest times.

I will post an update when we get back from the vet. Please say a prayer for my girl and for me having to handle a crippled dog and a maniac puppy at the same time!

Kim, I will definitely have Annabelle and you in my prayers today. Bless your heart.....we know you would never do anything to hurt your sweet baby girl. You have gone above and beyond to extend her life in a loving way. The wheelchair will be so good for her! Hopefully her wounds are going to heal quickly and she will be scooting around on her new wheels soon.

AnnaBelle, I hope your skin heals very quickly and the new fastener works great. I'll be excited to see a picture of you and your wheels. Please ask your mom to give you a pat for me, and one for Henna too.

Annabelle my love, I am so sorry to hear through my mom that you have a boo-boo. Us doggies are way more able to bear pain and discomfort than our hoomans (don't tell anyone I said that). Often we suffer when we wouldn't have to. If we only had a voice (other than a bark or yap ). I am wishing and hoping that you will be OK really soon. My mommy said that your mommy is a special lady and I think so too. Soon you will be good as new. I can hardly wait to see you with your wheels. Oh Annabelle my heart is bursting with the thought that you will be able to "run around" soon. I can't wait to see some pictures.

Lovingly forever,
Ripley

Well, we are home from the vet visit. What a day! AnnaBelle was terrified and they had to muzzle her to shave the area around her wound. She had a hard time breathing with that muzzle on! Poor baby, she breathes better through her mouth than her noze, just like her Mommy. She was blowing bubbles out her nose just trying to get enough air.

Anyway, she got shaved around the site, had it clean out good and has antibiotics for 10 days!

HEY, my doorbell just rang while I was typing this. HER CART JUST CAME!!!!! I sure hope she takes to it, but I think I am going to wait a few days and be sure she is feeling well before introducing her to something stressful and new!

Stay tuned!

Oh, and Henna did great, has gained over 3 lbs in 3 weeks!

Bless you for taking such good care of her, I think that wheelchair cart sounds wonderful.

My Dearest Ripley,

I was so scared today at the vet's office. I thought the groomer's was bad, but this lady hurt my boo boos and then tried to suffocate me by putting something tight around my nose and mouth. I thought I was going to drown in nose bubbles while trying desperately to get enough air through just my widdle nosie!

Mommy got all excited when the doorbell rang a few minutes ago. She said that my new wheels came. I'm not sure what she's talking about, I can't drive a car! She said that she would wait a few days before stressing me out anymore. I have to admit that sounds like a fine idea to me!

You said that this wheel thing will help me runaround like you again? Well, if that is the case, then maybe I'll give it a good try! I'd love for you to see me back on my feet again!

Yours forever!
AnnaBelle

Oh Kym, this ended up being a great day! You survived taking the two dogs to the vet together; Annabelle's boo boo isn't as bad as you thought (you thought she would need some stitches), Henna is growing by leaps and bounds, and the wheel chair arrived! Yahoo!
