Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

The stairs were a mass failure with Buddy. He hated them. He had to lift up his legs too high to climb them. I had two sets. I have since donated them. The ramp worked very well. Buddy was reluctant to use it at first, so we had to make a game out of it. Once he realized that it was his ticket to view the world from the cedar chest, he loved it. He used it until his legs became too weak.

Regarding the ramp.... It must be barricaded, so Molly HAS to use it to get to the window seat and back down. There can't be even a small space or she'll try to jump. I was creative and used many things to barricade the ramp. Some old tubs, baby gates, Scrap wood and even a box from a new TV. It worked, but looked like something Dr. Seuss had put together. Good luck!

The crate is funny, I can just see Molly snubbing the both of you!LOL :D Xxxxx

Aw poor Molly, that did make me giggle, dogs just have a way of letting you know their not happy and pulls at your heart strings at the same time. :)

Your dinner sounds lovely, and is making me hungry I hope you and the family have a good night tonight and that little Diva Molly behaves and doesn't run around. ;)

Sharlene, I am so sorry to hear about Molly's back issues. Zoe's eye doctor, her surgeon and two IMS always sent Zoe home with tramadol for pain after her surgeries and her paiful secondary glaucoma because she could not have nsaids. So it may benefit Molly.

I know when Julie's Hannah had the back issues, the cold laser treatments really helped Hannah. I know it will help Molly too.

Thank you for all your support.

Hugs and love

OH YUM!!! I do not know what some of those things are, but I fell in love with Churro's in Disneyland and have not had them since! I love Mexican so what times dinner Sharlene, I'm on my way!! :D xx

WOW Sharlene, that is better than I have eaten in an entire month! I'll meet you at the airport Trish.:D

Sweet!! Will have to be LA Kathy, we can't fly to San Diego!! It is 12 hrs from Auckland to LA, going to be a long day :D Probably be tomorrow Sharlene so hope you have leftovers!!

I think that we should all have dinner at Sharlene's house :)

Oh we missed dinner!:( It was that 12 hour flight waiting for Trish, but so worth it. Trish is a hoot!:D Sorry Sharlene, we can't make it until tomorrow, so you'll have to repeat tonight's dinner. Leftovers are fine with Trish, but I'm not coming all that way for leftovers!:LOL :D

I hope our little diva enjoyed her company this evening and semi behaved herself. xxxxx

Hi all, dinner was good, the chipolte chicken chowder was a hit, but a bit of a production to make. Plenty of left overs, but you'll have to wait till next weekend if you want a full blown meal production. I need some recovery time here! LOL

Molly was good but got tired and took herself off. Then after her last walk, I put her on the couch and she rolled upside down and went to sleep till time to go to bed. Then she still didn't want to get up till 10am this morning. Well we were all sleepy heads today. :)

This is day two now without her medication, so I'm watching to see how she does over all. So far she Is putting weight on her back legs which is a good sign and we'll just have to see if the middle disc stays pain free or not. I'm thinking she might still be feeling that one a bit. Tomorrow morning another laser treatment.

hugs all
Sharlene and molly muffin

Glad to hear dinner went well, so I will book my place at the table for next weeks dinner gives you plenty time to make it and for me to get there, will organise travel arrangements with Trish and Kathy :D

Good to hear Molly did well without the meds, hope her laser treatment continues to help
