    wee update

    I posted a comment saying I was glad Taffy was eating better, and hoped she was sleeping better. I also wondered if there was some reason she couldn't take Metacam.

    However, even though I have a Google ID, the blog didn't take my comment...so not sure how I can reach her. ETA: The post worked today. :-)

    I called the makers of the Synflex today, on her Arthritis, to see how long I could keep Taffy on the double dose, after the initial 10 days. She told me I could keep her on it for as long as I wanted, but it wouldn't change anything and I'd just be wasting my money. And that it could take as long as 30 days to work. Well, as least she was honest and didn't tell me to keep it doubled, so I'd have to buy more sooner. She did tell me it might be a good idea to split the dose, some in the morning and some in the evening when I feed. So I will try that. Not much more to say today. The drainage is still low, for now. I looked at the plastic Kiddie pools today, but they are too shallow for her to swim in. She's almost 12" at the shoulder, so she needs at least 16 to swim. I'd sneak her into the pool here in the park, but I'd probably get caught! Besides, that water is a little too cold. Even though they heat it. Well, time for a mouth rinse. So I'll be back tomorrow.

    From Taffy's blog today ~

    Sad day. Taffy died this morning, little before 9am. I knew it was coming when I got up today. I was getting ready to take her in, when she died. She was in her favorite spot by the door. She's free from trouble now. I think it was just too much for too long. Maybe if I'd had the money for the surgery in the beginning, it would have been different. She fought, but lost. This will be my last post. Anyone who wants to get in touch with me can email me. Thanks to all who helped, cared and donated. I will always remember her for the happy little dog she was.

    How sad...terribly sad...

    Taffy had surgery earlier which did nothing...and Donna trying to get more money for the right surgery - and Taffy ran out of time....tragic and maddening...

    Taffy seemed to be getting there, little by little, breathing better...but, like Donna said, maybe it was all too much for her little body.

    Play happy at the Bridge, dear Taffy. Please let your mom know you are ok - she loves you very very much.
