Sharlene:
You are having way too much fun, I need to switch lives with you for a week! Glad you got your vacation planned and got a room. That should be a great time. Tipper has those luxating patellas too so she positions her legs funny sometime with her feet pointing out to the side. Hope you have a good weekend, it will be good her until Sunday then storms again. Blessings

Way fun, loving the idea of a VIP section at the movies!! I would have to careful I didn't doze off in my comfy chair :D
Has Molly's leg been xrayed Sharlene, can't remember off hand?? Does she run ok on it?
Please pack us all in your bags when you head away won't you, I would love to go whale watching. I have seen a few off our beach over the years, mainly orca and more commonly dolphins too never the real big whales though, except one that washed up dead on the beach. Flynn was very interested in that, he looked like he was going to take a bite before I dragged him away :eek:. Our local Maori always take the jaw bone of the whale and bury it for cultural reasons. We get the odd seal too, just last week one bit an elderly gent on his leg when he got a bit too close, he needed surgery but that was not on our beach though :eek::eek: I remember Dad walking Flynn years ago came across one and Flynn was getting a bit too close to it for Dad's liking!
It was the IMS or the Neuro specialist who discovered the leg problem on the left side, the right side my vet found and yes it was xrayed, the joint groove isn't cut deep enough, it's a birth defect. So, since they xrayed and ultrasound a few things that day I'd think they would have done the leg when they found the problem or been very sure of what it was. They said grade 2, no need for surgery unless it goes to a grade 3.
She runs okay on it because she has Always run like a rabbit, both back legs together, but she walks like well, a dog. hahaha.
Yea, it turns out a bit to the side when it gets wonky on her. darnest thing.
No way, falling asleep is what I do at home during the movie. I'd have to be awfully bored to fall asleep at the movies. yikes. I can see where that might be a problem is those seats are Too comfy though. Still this is a sci-fi thriller, Edge of Tomorrow I think it's called. I'm not a super Tom Cruise fan, but I LOVE Emily Blunt. This is her first action movie I think and it's opening weekend, so we're going to give it a go. We need a date night for sure. Work has been so awful for hubs lately, that if he wanted the moon, I'd find a way to give it to him.
I love whale watching. As long as it is safe for the whales. The zodiac was way close to them, but with engines cut, the came to us, wild. Those were minke whales, but this area if a huge migration area, so humpbacks, which are HUGE.
I love the orca too, saw the out in the straits off Victoria BC.
Eeek Patti, you're life is way too stressful. I'd have had a heart attack by now trying to do all you do and the worries you have.
hugs all, have a good weekend! Do one thing for yourself and something with your furbaby this weekend. It will make the world seem so much better.
hugs

Pleased to hear you've got your trip booked. We saw a couple of whales from the ferry at Tadoussac, plus Sluice the whale who swam into the generating station at Annapolis Royal back in 2004 (just happened to be driving through en route to Digby and saw crowds of people), but OH has always had bad luck on proper whale watching trips so now refuses to go!
Just out of interest, when you say Molly runs like a rabbit what do you mean - I've been concerned about the way Henry runs since we got him as it's very different to the way I remember Hamish running - of course every time I try to video it he runs normally! but basically both back legs go out together and are angled outwards (I know, that description is dreadful) - it reminds me of a rabbit.
Molly's legs are together and both straight back. She has always run this way, since I've had her at 11 months. She just flies and man can she dig in and pull you. I swear she needs a minature sled attached to her sometimes.
Lyme has been very bad, so hope the tick is negative.
Oh yes in Tadoussac the whales are right there. There was one little cabin left on the beach, and our friends owned it, so we'd have morning coffee and watch the beluga whales in the bay, but definitely can see them on the ferry crossing if it is the right time of day. We haven't been back in years, I imagine they still have that cottage though. They would rent it out when they weren't using it.
You'll have to get Henry back on track with the revolution. When can you safely give it to him?

Yay for the excellent news on Molly's upc!! So happy to see those very good results! Vacay plans sound really nice and the hotel looks really beautiful!
Can you believe that Bergamasca on The Dogist...Lola??? I've seen her around. I have to say I am not a fan of that matted fur dreds...yuck they look like they just pick up all the dust and dirt that they get near, but they also seem sweet and gentle. Herders...guess they look like the sheep and maybe the sheep like that! :D
Did you see Edge of Tomorrow yet? I am the same as you...love Emily Blunt (love her husband too) but not a fan of Tom Cruise. The movie looks good and I believe got favorable reviews. We'll probably see it over the summer. First on my list is "Chef" which I hear is great, especially if you like food!! :D Haha...right up my alley! :p
Enjoy the weekend..glad Molly is doing so well..(minus the knee issue).

Chef looks good. Edge of Tomorrow we are going to see tomorrow night. I still need to see Budapest Hotel, which Addy reminded me of today. That is next on my list. I think. The western, A Million Ways to Die in the Old West, I think I want to see too, has a lot of good actors in it.
Oh that is funny about Lola. I'd love to see her, but I don't think I want to ever have one, that hair would drive me nuts. I'd have the only shaved Bergamasca around!
later gator!

:D Loved Grand Budapest...quirky and odd in the best ways and colorful too! Enjoy the movie and the weekend. :D
Sharlene:
Yes Toby sleeps in my room in a crate, or Tipper would be into it with him. The cats sleep in the family room or the cat room when it is real warm. My rescue cat Lucky knows not to come in my room, and when gates are closed it means Tipper is behind them so he never ventures past the gate as he is scared to death of Tipper. She just has to make a mean look at him and he cries. I noticed Tipper hopping like a bunny when she goes down the steps after that ACL tear. She does not do it when anywhere else though. The Laser therapist told me that they point their feet out etc. to compensate when that patella acts up. She told me to make Tipper walk in circles and figure 8's as that strengthens it. Also she said push he back and forth in front of you when she is standing still, just gently. It is not real bad for them to tolerate as she said it goes back in usually right away, and is not something that goes on long. I think Tipper adapted to it years ago. From all her Jack Russell jumps I think made hers start to act up and go out on her. I had asked two Dr.'s about it too as I did not want her to be in pain, and they said let it alone, it doesn't happen that often and is not chronic pain. I hope you and Molly have a good weekend and enjoy this nice weather. Blessings

I hope you saw your movie and enjoyed the VIP section. I love reading about you and hubs time together, it sounds like you have a real lovely relationship warms my heart to read it :)
I wouldn't worry too much about the leg, woody had a patella issue and it would pop out every so often but the stubborn git would just lift his leg and then quickly force his leg to the ground thus popping it back in, my vet showed me how to pop it back in and I only needed to do it once.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :D
