Fluff going for X-rays

I remember that I thought she was a love when I met her. How old is she? The Floober is 11 in human years. A more gentle and patient dog I could not have asked for. She has not snapped once at The Yowlet, and has only gone so far as actually growl at him on less than a handful of occasions, all entirely deserved. She is also exceedingly tolerant of cats, even when the cats are not so tolerant of her, but being part border collie *will* start chasing them if they run away. She thinks its a game of course, and doens't mean anything by it, but it does make it hard to take her for walks sometimes. If the cat is sensible and instead walks up to say hello, Fluffy is the perfect lady and tries to follow catly protocol (never realising he tail is swishing madly in delight!). She even allowed her ears to be washed by Suki the other other day, bless her. She has a very similar 'feel' about her as Tish's mother's now RB dog, Bongo. We think perhaps they shared a brain cell, both dogs being so lovablely gormless. Yowie -- If you're paddling upstream in a canoe and a wheel falls off, how many pancakes can you fit in a doghouse?

Poor Fluff, major purrayers and tailwags for lovingly sent from our home.
Love Kyla & the Kitties "Yowie" The Fluffster has started limping and seems unwilling to bear much weight on her left hind paw.

When you take her off it she can barely walk. It is a very good drug for arthritis in horses. As I said, it can be equally good for dogs. The only thing I'd worry about is that if Fluffy isn't feeling much pain, she might do more damage to herself by bouncing around like a youngster, when she really isn't. It's a difficult balance - obviously you don't want her to be in agony, but pain does serve a function in letting you know something's wrong, and getting you to be protective of the painful area, which she probably needs to do at least somewhat. -- Joyce ^..^ To email me, remove the XXX from my user name. |

Yes. That's the problem with painkillers but for an elderly one it's probably OK to give her as much pain relief as the vet thinks she might need at this point in her life. It's probably past the time you need to know what is wrong, more to give comfort. Tweed |

They are terriers and far too disobedient to accept being a police dog. It would mean doing what they are told. Terriers do not like that. Tweed - Will in New Haven |
