Poor Pitiful Pia - Pia has gone to heaven

[molly muffin]

Hi Bonnie. Oh poor Kelly (love her name) I hope her vocal cords weren't cut, how horrid for a dog to not be able to speak.
For the Kennel, I always take mollys blanket with her and our scents on it, make sure your scent is on it, and her favorite toys. I get extra play time for her one on one too. Anything that will make her feel relaxed and that she is still connected to you.
As for the yeast, you could do allergy testing with her. There are some shampoos that you can get from vet. We've had two members have good luck with ketochlor (shampoo). So ask vet about that.
So great to hear from you Bonnie.

Ha! I actually think Mariannes idea to start a Kelly thread is a good one. Many of our members have new threads in Everything Else about their new family members. It's not unusual at all. Think about it!

Hi Bonnie,
Just wanted to let you know I'm thinking about you. It's been a hard few days for me and I know you are feeling it too.

Sending much love,
Donna

Kelly sounds very much like my boxer Pansy when she came to me through breed rescue. I suspect she was a breeder's dog (she was pregnant when picked up as a stray) as she had unusual vet care - dewclaws removed but not spayed or chipped, and no interest in interacting with other dogs. In the nearly 7.5 years we lived together, she played with a toy just once, and played with another dog once - she preferred the company and attention of humans best.

She also was highly reactive to the phrase Bad Dog, which I had to modify to Not Good Dog when speaking of her for the rest of her life.

I was concerned that she might have vocal cord damage as I did not hear a peep from her other than the famous boxer snoring and farting - she finally barked three years after she came to live with me. Imagine my surprise! Your Kelly may not have much to say yet. The breed is known for not barking unless there is good reason, so perhaps like Pansy she is biding her time.

Hi Bonnie,
Just wanted to see how you are. I know yesterday must have been a sad day for you. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Much love,
Donna

Yes, yesterday was pretty bad. I thought about my sweet Pia and cried. It's hard to believe it's been a year and a day since my Pia crossed The Rainbow Bridge. Thank you so very much for thinking of Pia and me. I appreciate it, and I know in my heart that she does, too.

Big hugs Bonnie. Hope Kelly is doing well. I know that Pia is keeping an eye on all of you.

Hugs

Oh, Bonnie, I know how hard these anniversaries are. Your sweet Pia is watching over you with such love and pride in her heart for her mom. Our girls never leave us.

Hugs
