Checking in for August 2012

[mytil]

"Checking in" is a topic that we start on the first of each month. We suspect that we have a good number of members who read the messages regularly but who don't post very often. Maybe that's because their dogs are doing well, or they don't have a Cushing's dog anymore, or they haven't got any questions to ask, or maybe they don't feel very comfortable about posting answers to other members' questions. It's perfectly understandable and acceptable for folks to only post once in a while, but when we don't hear from people, many of us find ourselves wondering what those folks have been up to recently and how their dogs are doing.

It's always preferable to post updates about your Cushing's dog in your own thread/topic (especially if you want feedback/replies from other members) but you can also post a quick reply here if you just want to say hi and let everyone know how you are doing in general.

We'd love to hear from you! :)

:) Still keeping watch on you all.

[Chloe's Caregivers]

Have not posted very much recently because our Chloe has been doing very well on Vetoryl for the past 2 years. She is now 14 1/2. Her spirits are good, still gets around well (up/down steps, into her favorite chair, etc.) and always greets the new day joyfully, which is a lesson for us and a blessing as well. We cherish every moment we have with her. So grateful for her vets, for effective drug treatment so far and for the advice and hand-holding this group gave us early-on.

For those just starting their Cushing's journey, know that there are success stories out there! We hope your situation, although unique and always scary, turns out like ours has.
