    Is being off work a scheduled or expected thing?

    Should we all buy more Jewelry?

    I take at least three weeks off every winter. Planned months ago. Well, not really planned cuz I'm not doing anything, but booked off through HR months ago.

    Buying more is always good! I think Anvik will need a dental soon!

    That really is wonderful news. Tamara, you really are an animal's best friend. To think that her "family" was so willing to give up on her when she has more life to live is so sad.

    That's great news! Kind of makes you wish you could wave that great report in those people's faces (your neighbors) - what liars! They made it sound like she already had one paw in the grave. So glad Pirate is in your loving care now. Hugs & belly rubs to that dear girl!

    Excellent news on Pirate. Sounds like she can have many more happy
    times with you & the pack. I am just so happy you found her. I'm trying
    to not have evil thoughts of her former (family??) but it's hard to hear how
    neglectful they were. That's all in the past now, thank heavens.

    Oh, I'm dying for the chance to do that and I'm quite sure I'll get it! I'm sure we will eventually run into each other and they'll give me some sob story full of BS. I'm looking forward to calling her out on it! I hope there are lots of people around when it happens too!!

    bethanechol (beth-an-e-coal) goes by the brand name Urecholine or Duvoid but I'm sure it's available as a generic too. When I worked stroke and spinal cord rehab we used to give it to patients with urinary retention, to get their bladder muscle to contract/empty.

    How was Pirate girl's first day after the DES dose? Could you give her some petting for me, please?

    She was dry overnight, but I went to bed really late so she wasn't in her crate for too long! She leaked a small amount this afternoon while napping in the shop, but way less than a couple days ago. There was no puddle underneath her, just a bit damp. I think it's working!

    She's outside in the big yard for the first time right now. She's moving really well. Metacam rocks! I'll have more pics soon.

    It's a pity about metecam, it didn't do anything for our Jess and Mist. Made no difference at all and I gave up on it. It's supposed to be the best stuff too.

    Good to know it's helping Pirate though and that her bladder issue is resolving.
    If she ever gets cystitis, put cranberry juice in her water. Our Jess has it all the time now after problems with cystitis which just used to come back after her anti-biotics finished but she hasn't had a problem since she's been having some cranberry...and I'll take the liberty of pinching some myself as well, haha.

    It is all I can do not to cry happy tears this morning:

    I've been bringing Pirate in the house on leash. Last night, I let the other dogs in. She watched from just beyond the door. I could see the wheels turning in her little head. I called her name and she decided yup, it's safe and I'm allowed. She came through the door on her own. She got a drink, sniffed a litterbox and trotted to her crate! She knows this is her home now!

    Pirate awoke to a clean, dry blanket! Not even a dribble in her crate overnight!

    This morning I let her out into the main yard. I don't think she needs to be in her own little pen anymore. I went to let Kayleigh out of the shop. When I came out, I saw Pirate RUNNING beside Tehya! Not sprinting and only for about 30 feet, but she was RUNNING!! Tail up, husky grin on her face, running!

    Sometimes you get a day filled with little miracles!

    HUGE miracles! WOW!

    I am SO happy for Pirate! And SO happy for you!

    I hope you called Dr Rick - he would probably be thrilled to hear the news!

    I wish her previous people could walk by and see her happy and running and grinning!
