Frankly, after 20 yrs of marriage to a hunter/trapper, I've lost count of the dead things I've run across in the freezer.  For the most part, I've gotten used to it, except for when it is just a fur.  Then it is soft and freaks me out every time.  There was a raccoon fur in my freezer for almost a year.  That one about did me in.  There have been whole fish, whole birds, etc.  I've actually shipped a dead bird through the mail once to Cornell for necropsy.  That was pretty freaky.  I also used to ship a lot of live birds through the mail.  Those were always interesting conversation starters at the post office. 

LOL!  Tyra really looks worried!  The boys, well, they look like they're ready to kick some butt if need be

Having been on prednisone for almost a year now, I can really feel for Fumble!     The bathroom is my closest friend these days.  It's going to make life interesting if you have to work and leave him for any length of time.  I too would wonder about giving a vaccination while he's fighting so many health issues.  Lyme is the least of his worries right now, esp if he's on antibiotics already for the staph.  Poor fella!

Awwww!  That's great news!  I will continue to pray for her that they don't return.  I'm thinking that I've heard that many kids grow out of them?  Funny how Drs don't trust you (about her falling down the steps).  She's your daughter and you know her best.  Glad you finally got some validation there and hope to hear that things continue to go well. 

I would definitely look at controlling pain while you can.  You can also use adult asprin.  Most dogs tolerate the buffered variety fairly well.  Here's an article a friend sent me when I was trying to decide if it was time for one of our dogs.  I found it quite helpful.  This is a tough issue but if you are looking at what is best for him, you're well on the way to the right answer.

I didn't mean to question the theft, just the reason behind the theft.  I'm sooooo glad they were found! 

The dogs were definately stolen or at best attempted (and if it was only attempt, why did only one return). Someone kicked in his fence to get the dogs out, Friday morning. So this was no accidental release of the dogs or canine escape artists at work. The owner is a member of the police dept, so you know his fellow officers are also keeping their eyes open. It is expected that a reward will be offered, and the CCRA is trying to get the media involved. Right now the more people that know in that area, the better the chance the dogs will be recovered.

Great link!  Thanks for posting that!

Good looking pup!  Then again, I'm slightly biased   I LOVE the pic with Simba holding the leash out in the snow!
