Binx update

[Miss Meow]

I was nearly crying while reading about the replies you've received from your letters.

You're so brave doing this, and loving and generous and kind. Binxy does and will keep repaying your efforts for many, many years to come

Johanna, I think you are a terrific person and doing a great job with Binx. He is a wonderful dog. I pray every day that something will be done for him. Hopefully soon. It broke my heart to listen to your frustrations for him. It must be so hard. Especially dealing with the stares from other people. You just have to ignore those fools. You know what a great dog he is and I know what a great dog he is. Even my Katie knows what a great dog he is. I have noticed at the last 2 dog park meetings that Katie has been drawn to Binx and they have hung around each other quite a bit. He is a very well behaved dog and you should be proud of yourself. I will be thinking of you both and wishing you all the best and can't wait to see you at the next dog park meeting.

Hugs....Robin

I think I finally stumbled on one 'answer' to a Binxie problem..the eating time. Now, I am sooo hesitant to post this, as maybe tonight was just a fluke, but, Binx again ate ALL 4.5 cups of food at one sitting! It seemed like a very easy time of it...now, are you ready for what is different?

Well, I had been using one of those two sided plastic elevated feeder bowls. Not only did it move (on a rug, on rubber), but, it used to get so messy/dirty, and Binx knocked food everywhere. Today, Travis and I were at petsmart, and I was actually looking for another feeder set for him to keep at his house. We saw these big bowls...BIG...like nearly 12" across. BIG! It looks like a horse bowl! But, no container to set it in. So, I bought two of them-water and food, and we went next store to Bed, Bath and Beyond...and you know those plastic round garbage containers, with the lid you can flip around and around? Well, the bowls fit perfectly! PERFECTLY. AND, it is the most perfect height for Binxie. He doesn't have to move at all...he just walks right up to it. I have pics, but, don't know when I will load them.

Most importantly, he ate everything. His big 'ole head AND gums were able to fit right in there....and he ate, and ate and ate! I am so silly to not have thought of this before, I know it. But, I know it now!

Jo, you are an angel to do all this for Binx. He is still in my prayers. And I'm so happy that Binx's eating problem has improved! Hopefully it wasn't a fluke at all. You go through a lot of trouble to make Binx happy.

Thanks for the update.

I was reading at work too and almost cried. I hope he'll get to be more of a normal pup soon. I know you both have been through so much. There's a reason he came to be with you. Don't give up hope. Surely you will see some light at the end of the tunnel soon.

Binx is so lucky to have met his Angel! I believe certain dogs are meant for certain people. I know the frustration you are talking about when you want so badly to help your furpup and sometimes it seems like a dead end, but you don't give up. You don't give up til you find something to help, at all costs. Lucky Binx to have you! Good luck on finding a solution and be sure to keep us up-dated! Hugs.

Oh Binxie did you like that new bowl your Mommy bought you??? You must have because you ate up all your dinner. You are such a lucky doggy to have such a wonderful Mommy and family that loves you so much that they would do anything to find a solution to your problem. Don't worry about your teefies. I'm praying they will be fixed soon.

Bless you Johanna. I can hardly wait to see pictures

Thanks for the update Jo.
I just love Binxie boy. He is such an angel and he has the bestest mommy in all the world!!!

[Cataholic]

As always, you guys are so supportive of our endeavor! It makes me feel so good to know you all are behind us every step of the way.

The big bowls were a success again this am. Here they are! Notice Binx doesn't have to bend an inch? How funny is that! I **just**got back from the market, so, no cracks on the food still out..he he he....

[Sudilar]

Absolutely perfect!!!! I hope it continues to work!!! Awwww, Binx is sooooo handsome!!!

Ditto! Any more photos of Binx to go along with this update??

Thanks for posting this, I've been thinking about him I love his new food bowl - great idea! Be sure to keep us PTers updated on Binx's progress

[lizbud]

Hey, great idea with the new food bowls. What is they say
about necessity being the mother of invention. Right that and
a good momma who is always thinking of ways to help her baby
boy Binix too. Must have been sorta fustrating for him to eat from the smaller unsteady bowls. These look perfect for his size
and height. Good job.

Johanna,

LOVE those food bowls!!! Just the thing for a lovely, large, hunk of LOVE called Binx!

As for the people who stare at Binx - just point them out to me, I'll take "care"of them ........... and you can be my LAWYER!!!
(or would that be a conflict of interest??)
