Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Hi Sharlene,
Thank you for your Thanksgiving wishes!! Glad you are feeling better...and so happy Molly didn't get hurt on the ice. I had a sinus/ear thing going on in October. Ugh..I was miserable. Ended up going away on it's own too after a lot of saline spritzing! It's good for the immune system to forgo the antibiotics but I got to the point after a few days that I really wanted some...the Dr. said not needed though! :eek:
How about all the doggie coat police people out there?!! So many people are into whether a dog has a coat on or not?
I guess I do that with people's kids, but I never actually say anything.
On Thanksgiving morning we saw so many families walking over to the parade, it was cold..felt like 15 degrees and some kids didn't even have hats on, which was crazy..but guess what?? Trixie was wearing her sweater! She kept walking funny, doing some bumps and jumps trying to buck it off. When that didn't work she was side stepping and doing other weirdo moves...kept my husband and I laughing the whole walk!
Since then it hasn't been all that cold, lucky for Trixie...now that she had the sweater on for one day she's holding back by the front door in case some scary clothes are nearby! ;) So funny!!

Oh that is funny about the door. Molly has been doing the same thing. Won't go all the way to the door and looking to see if I have her coat out or not. Once she doesn't see it, she goes right on up, but boy she's sure on coat patrol. LOL
Wow, 15 and everyone out walking to the parade. yikes and a brrrrrr.
Yea, I hate sinus things. I do have some saline and need to start spritzing, so this doesn't come back. No time to be sick with the holidays here.
hugs,

Sharlene:
That is too funny about the coats. Tipper is so used to her coats she waits for them, and she lifts her front leg up and back to get them in the sleeves like a child would do. When we get some serious snow I will take he picture in the snowsuit, she is so cute in it. Blessings

That will be great to see the snowsuit pictures. :)
Molly does the leg lift for her harness. Not for her coat though. And if she is really in a spat about it, she'll just lay down and roll over on her back so you can't get it on her. She'll tuck her head around different ways trying to be all cute, like that is going to save her. She knows it won't, but she tries anyway. Little diva that she is.
Tonight as I was trying to catch up on the forum she was barking at me to come play with her, so I too a break and went and played ball. She won't play very long, not like she use to and she doesn't want to go get it any longer, but she loves if you throw it in the air and she'll bounce it back to you off her nose. She's pretty good with that nose. :)
hugs,

Awwww she sounds like a little dolphin or seal :D:D
Flynn is not keen on clothes either. It really is not cold enough here to wear them but I do have a raincoat he wears if it is pouring. We have one very expensive looking all weather coat that is sheepskin lined, oilskin covering, it even has pockets! I swear he could trek Antarctica in it and be toasty warm. He could pack his snacks, a blankie and a pocketknife in his pockets and he would be all set!!! A friend gave it to him when her dog passed over, so I just do not have the heart to tell her it is a tad over the top :eek: I put it on him if we visit her when its raining xxxx

Sharlene:
It is funny you should say that about Molly. Tipper has gotten so moody lately that if you get her harness to take her out and she is not ready or wanting to go she lays flat like a pancake on the floor holding her front legs down tight to the carpet so I cannot slip the harness underneath. These babies are just too smart for their own good. Blessings

Omg Patti! The visual of Tipper flattening herself and holding herself down mad me laugh! Daisy will wear coats that wrap around and secure with Velcro. I've had some adorable sweaters for her but the little turd climbs out through the neck part (even one that was a turtleneck). She does it so fast that I have only seen her hind end escaping by the time I notice.

Awww those poor doggies, lots of them put one leg straight out behind them don't they. That cat cracked me up to, totally freaked out by the performance of her doggie friend... How's the couch going Sharlene?? I am an excellent procrastinator too?... but today cannot be put off for me... and if I hear how many shopping days are left before Christmas on the radio I am going to scream :eek:!! I have got one present... Elle the cat 's :D, when I was in the pet store last week they had these gorgeous baubles stuffed with kitty toys so that is already hanging on Mum's tree, so there I am not totally useless on the Christmas shopping front :eek::eek::eek:
