Our vet will determine which ones need to go after the X-rays and exam. He needs to see how much bone loss there is. I’m waiting a few weeks. This dog ran the streets for a while and has been thru so much.
The money isn’t a problem. Every rescue we’ve adopted has been a fixer upper[emoji3]. We will microchip and trim his nails while he’s under. We need to do blood work to check organs before surgery too.

He weighs 6.6lbs and needs to gain a pound or too as well.

How much does Suki weigh?
What food is she on?
Suki is up to a whopping 3.2 pounds. I can still touch my thumb and middle fingers around her waist.
She is eating Purina Pro Plan as suggested by @Tom.
I can tell you from past experiences that money aside, it is extremely rewarding to watch an animal recover and know that it was because of you.

Took our new dog to the vet and learned he is a bit older than 3 and needs $1000 worth of dental work done. He also has a soft knee.

I need help! He pooped over night and I needed to scrub and I can’t get the smell off my fingers[emoji53]
I tried bleach, comet, rubbing alcohol and rubbing them on stainless steel. Help!!!

Yikes....$1000 worth of dental - wow... try tomato juice on your hands..it works on skunk spray, right?

Looks like your heart is pretty similar to mine!!! Most likely your nose is only remembering the smell & not really smelling it because if you used all that, I don’t see how you have any skin left!!! But I keep liquid sanitizer on all the sinks for those exact purposes:). Good luck Kathy!

Did anybody else have issues with the forum app yesterday? It kept telling me I wasn't logged in, I didn't have permission to reply to any posts, and the pictures were extremely tiny. It was still glitchy this morning so I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems to be working fine now.

That happens whenever the signal is weak for some reason. Just cancel and wait until the signal improves. You don’t have to login again.

It happens to me A LOT with my travelling [emoji849]

Afternoon Update....

Well, the weather forecasters “seem” to have nailed this storm. As predicted, it’s been thundering and lightning for the past 30 mins, and rain is dropping from the overcast, dark skies. In preps for the deluge, i emptied my rain barrel into four 5 gallon buckets so i can collect a full barrel.

In anticipation of the rain “event” i prepped the well worn and eaten grassy area in our Sullys enclosure. Three pronged the area, spread down the Tortoise Supply seed, then topped it lightly with some cut dried grass i had saved up. A slight spray to get things damp. We’ll see.

Gave our Muscadine grape vines a cut back pruning too. Lots of grapes waiting to ripen, but the new vines start to look messy on the deck. Trimmed, and Sully gets the clippings. Win Win (and wifey happy too, WIN).

I finally used a sos pad and scrubbed under my fake nails. I think it helped!!
I had to use my other hand to drink my coffee.

I think the fig is coming today!!![emoji3]

My kids start school tomorrow so we have a few supplies to buy. Hopefully it will get here before soccer and I’ll plant it!

Good luck with the fig cutting! Your fingers are probably rubbed raw by now!

Why ? When you and your family would move to Germany you have a friend there. ME !!!!!!:)
What is your man working if you might tell ?

He’s a political science/international relations professor. And actually one of the many possible options for next year is a collaboration with either a research institute in Hamburg or with Humboldt University. But I’d rather settle down in Canada as soon as possible, although a year in Germany does sound very appealing!

Hi! Hope you are well.

Sorry: can't help you as far as your dog is concerned. Hope someone else can at CDR.

Nope. Are you using the app or Tapatalk?
