Merrill:
I forgot to mention magnets when I first wrote to you. They improve blood flow to the areas where most needed. I understand they have beds with the magnets already in them. My 16-year-old Doberman/Shepherd moved best when she had these duck taped to her back. She weighed 80# and had severe arthritis in her neck and mid spine. Her name was Sunoco, and we got her on her first day of life when she was abandoned at a Sunoco gas station with her six brothers and sisters in a brown paper bag in July 1983 (hot, hot and humid day). I do not understand how there can be insensitive humans, but then again. . .
Yes, we are exuberant dog people. I have always had a dog and will forever. My husband is hooked both from his family's pets and from me now. Before we got Sunoco, we got Chance in July 1982 who was abandoned at the old zoo here in Indianapolis. He was a Terrier (or terror) and he also lived to be 16. We proudly display a painting of them on our living room to remind us of our first dog family. On June 25 last year, a lady saved Lady Tui from the animal control on D-Day! She is fantastic. She is part blond lab and part beagle. She looks just like a minature lab, but there is no such critter. She saved me from insanity after losing Sunoco. Our first dog family had many weird behavioral problems which needed Bach remedies like Holly for Sunoco because she liked to attack Chance. Chance had seizures. Lady Tui is so stable; well, except she is terrified of water (not quite like a lab, huh?). I have only used the internet since February, and you are the first person whom I don't know who has written to me. I was so excited -
Hope I did not bend your ear too much. Folly is such a lucky, lucky dog to have you taking care of her. Live long and prosper! Cindy
