    She's having fun watching things only she can see!
    She got her nasty, black nails cut very short too! I hate trimming her nails!
    Sounds like a pretty "successful day" at the White Coat's Sir Jury & Beauty Shoppe.

    I s'pose the two involved FurKids might put a different *slant* on it,
    but from a Mom's Point of View ... a Good Day!

    Do "the Kids" have *leave it ALONE* devices to wear --- ByteNot Collars,
    E-Collars, Snow-suits, rain barrels, or hog-tied paws?
    Here's hoping the *Zippurz* are left alone till they're *scheduled* for removal!

    Glad to hear the pups are doing OK.

    *gives Bandit a few pats*

    *runs over to squeeze the living daylights all out of Paxil and is all teary eyed*

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    I'm sorry I didn't see this earlier. Glad to hear that both "kids" came through their surgery well. Hopefully Paxil won't be so drunk this morning! Keep us posted on how they are doing.

    They are both in e-collars. The bite-not collar doesn't work for eye injuries. I tried it on Paxil, but she apparently has a short little neck and it didn't fit her right. Bandit only has two stitches so hopefully he won't need to wear the collar for long. Paxil gets hers off when I can watch her. She's pretty pathetic with it on. Quite a little drama queen!

    Does she whack you with it? Sasha does that, when she has it on she looks completely miserable and likes to walk up behind me and whack me on the back of the legs with hers. Like HEY LADY, TAKE THIS OFF, NOW!!

    I fondly remember Boots, da Kat - and his ability (and lack thereof) to navigate
    with his lil E-collar - worn for many days when he had a catheter or was recovering
    from his PU operation. He did quite well with walking - other than forgetting to pick his head UP -
    he'd *stub* the lower edge on the carpet and wind up tipping the cone down flat on the floor
    and not being able to move without first backing up. And rounding a corner -
    he NEVER left enough room for the darn collar!
    I often wondered how he managed to NOT break his neck.

    The poor Dogs both learned to **MOVE** if Cone-Head approached -
    when he *rammed* with his cone it HURT!

    Hope the "Kids" heal quickly and the need for the collars is short-lived.

    I'm happy to hear the pups are home and recovering well. How long till you know if you got all of Paxil's cancer?

    There's no way to tell. Mast Cells are part of a normal immune system. They just go crazy in some dogs and form tumors. We'll just keep checking her for a reoccurance, more lumps and bumps.

    Little update....

    Bandit's eye is healing nicely. He's leaving it alone and letting me put the ointment on so he's not a conehead anymore. He is back to his stubborn, noisy, demanding little self!

    Paxil seems to be doing alright too. She's puked a couple times. If she does that again, I'll call Dr. Rick on Monday morning. I suspect it's throat irritation. I ran a dog team this morning--woke up to Stuart announcing that it was snowing! Not much, but it was definately snow! I left Paxil at home and I got told about that when I got back. She is not impressed and gave me a good talking to about how she is not retired yet! Unfortunately, the stitches are right where her harness would go under her front legs so she can't run until they are fully healed.

    This makes me smile! Hope she heals up quickly, you wouldn"t want her throat to get even more sore yelling at you! I'm glad Bandit is being a good boy through all this. Snow already? Happy mushing!

    Did you run the Team with the SLED - or is it still 4-Wheeler weather?

    I'll be using the ATV for another 7, maybe eight weeks. There's usually enough snow for the sled by mid-November. There will be snow on the ground to stay in a month or so.
