well sorry to say but linda really didnt help me. when it came to HOD she seemed to just repeat everything i read on her website. then i have spoken to her before in e-mail about chloe and all, but then when it came in here she thought she didnt have HOD at all, and it just confused me. im not about to change her diet at all because its the only one thats worked for her, and i mean ONLY. she had never been able to walk untill i started her on the one shes on, and no, its not lindas. and no, im not putting her on lindas... i dont mean to offend anyone or her, but it just isnt working for my pup. and with having another pup around, she really isnt in pain right now, shes just so depressed she wont get up and do things, which then doesnt help her to build any muscle or streach out those legs and stuff. you kind of have to see her to understand why i think another friend would help her. when you see her around another dog, shes a completely different pup. like nothing is wrong with her. shes not all that great on a leash right now because i never had time to train her (duh), but she usually just walks along next to you, but if there is another dog, she pulls sooo hard to get to them, i actually have trouble holding her. (obviously im working with her on this, it was just impossible before) i just think a pup will encourage her to do more and try more and be happy..
