*updated**Prayers needed* for sassy. I think it may be over..

*UPDATE*

I haven't updated on this thread in awhile, so I just wanted to.

Sassy has been doing GREAT for a long time now. She's acting like her old puppy self used to before the arthritis. She barley limps any longer and she's so happy all the time. She actually CRIES to go outside now and she walks around most of the day. The only time she limps is when she gets out of bed and she starts walking. It's only because her leg is stiff. My mom never made a vet appt. She wanted to wait till Sas got a grooming first, which she did. So the vet will definately be coming soon...I hope. My mom DID call the vet though. The vet said just keep giving her the baby asprins and such, since they are obviously working.

We also have a special *treat* for everyone

The maltie went SWIMMING today! She wasn't to happy but she dealt with it. I didn't get any pics of her swimming but only on the boogie board.


"Uhh, what the heck are you doin'? WHY ARE you puttin' me in the water mom!?"


"OK maybe I'm just dreaming, I'll just sit here till I wake up!"


"Ok, maybe this ISN'T a dream! That water does look pretty real"


"MOM, when I get over there, I'm gonna....GR"(such a little dork)


"Uh, I don't like this at all!"

That's all for now!

Haven't updated this thread in a few months but I have a very good update.

Sassy is doing very well! We still haven't called a vet yet since she is doing good but my mom has promised me soon. Our days have been hectic and my parents are holding off, for one reason I've found out today. I heard them talking, nope wasn't supposed to be listening , but they said they can't bear the thought of not having her around. I've realized through this entire ordeal, that although Sassy isn't MY "heart and soul" dog, she is the only dog suited for our family. She is so funny, weird, and adorable all rolled into one. Basically, she is my family's "heart and soul dog", not mine alone. She is definitely not a dog I connected greatly with but I feel my whole family is connected with that bond to her. We certainly ended up with the perfect dog! OK, enough with the corniness.

My mom found the start of an ear infection in her ear, and she used corn starch everyday to dry out the ear canal. The vet told us to do this. She also ordered none-prescription ear cleanser, medication, etc from Petmeds. Hopefully, sometime next week we can order Prescription medication for the arthritis when we get the vet to come. I personally think she doesn't need it anymore, she is really opening up and starting to play again. She actually jumped in the pool the other day and started SWIMMING! I was stunned lol..

Thanks for the concern(now time to get the little furbutt attacking my feet away lol)
