Zoee's progress

[Bonny]

Years ago I had an Australian shepherd & he ended up taking Rimadyl. The pill was broken in half & inserted in cheese to make sure he took it & given to him morning & evening. He was an old dog & instead of laying down he would plop himself down so the problem was pain in his joints. The Rimadyl made a new dog out of him.

I hope Zoee gets to feeling better soon & with rest at your folks it may help her leg heal on its own.

So we left Zoee with my mom yesterday. Taggart is sooo depressed. He did NOTHING all afternoon and evening. He literally just slept the entire time. I took him to PetSmart with me to exchange some sweaters I got for my moms dog. And I played with him for a while with one of his toys, but he just didn't seem that interested. Then I gave him a toy that dispenses treats, so he worked at that for a while. (I had to keep Jax from eating the pieces of kibble that fell out before Taggart did)

My mom said Zoee stayed right by the door waiting for us to come back. I know she will get over it, but it still makes me sad. I said I didn't want to leave her and Bruce said "then don't". But it is in her best interest. Just in the short time we were there she was not limping. She is just so much calmer there. Which is strange since they live in the country and she has acres to explore. But my mom won't let her run around (which will be easy because she just doesn't when she's there).

And I also had a thought..........she will not be with us for her birthday. So we will just have to celebrate her birthday a week or so later. I'm sure my mom will spoil her just fine.

Awww, I am sure she will appreciate her birthday celebration whenever it happens!
