Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Ok Big Question-
Are you happy with Revolution for Molly? It takes care of fleas, ticks and heartworm issues with minimal side effects?
What dose do you give - I think Koko is about 20 pounds.
Have fun on date night. Fill us all in on the movie and VIP seats

Ohhh I bet she is out there now, in her comfy chair, sipping wine and being served tasty treats!!! I am jealous! xx
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Hey Addy, of course I am not Sharlene :), but since you are asking about Revolution, I thought I would share a link I found yesterday that lists and compares the treatment offered by both Revolution and also Frontline. Revolution looks to be very comprehensive in some ways, but doesn't offer as broad a coverage for ticks -- it only kills American dog ticks. So if you are worried about Lyme, it does not help because it doesn't kill deer ticks. Frontline kills four types of ticks, but doesn't cover heartworm, mites, mange, etc. They both cover fleas. Anyway, here's the link in case you are interested.

Thanks Marianne,
Then that wont work because we have deer ticks too. What concerns me is the Heartguard makes Koko vomit without fail. I dont know what else I could use for heartworm.
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
I am happy with the Revolution. Molly has never had a reaction to it, she's never had a tick or a flea either, in her 10 years with us. Of course, being in the city, we don't seem to have deer ticks, or not that molly would maybe come in contact with?
We use the brown box one, (has the JRT on the front picture, for dogs 5.1 - 10kg.
I liked the movie, Emily Blunt did a good job as an action character. I feel like Tom Cruise plays the same character when he plays action characters. He's got it down pretty good.
Okay, so very nice to have those big comfy seats. If you get the ones at the very front, they recline too. Ours didn't recline, but it wasn't missed. Plenty of room to stretch your legs. I had a girly drink instead of wine, strawberry, banana, with vodka. Only thing missing was the umbrella. There is a menu at your seat when you sit down and someone comes by to take your order, anything from drinks, to popcorn, hotdogs, or hamburgers, pineapple upside down cake was even on the menu. They even had valet parking. (we didn't use it, but it was there!)
We enjoyed it. I don't know if we'd go all the time, but it was fun as a treat to do. There is another theater type that you can reserve your seats in too and the seating is nice. Not as nice as this but that is the one we often will go to. It is nice to not have your back killing you after sitting in one spot for a few hours with no getting up and down.
It's funny. I grew up with sport, watching them on tv, etc, horse racing, car racing, american football, but hubby is just not into watching a lot of sports on tv. We have a basketball team, a baseball team, hockey, canadian football teams all in the city here and he will go to the games live and love it. (the Gray Cup is of course a whole different thing and that he'll watch) or if our neighbor has him down for a guys night and to watch a game, then he'll go but I think just for the comradarie. (my neighbor LOVES sports, period, his son is a baseball player and playing for Louisiana State currently, and he's played the Blue Jays AA team, or whatever that is. So, we do support him. :) Anyway, wow, way to get off track here. So, he was asking me why I was being all frantic about getting the results of the Belmont, checking before we went in and as soon as the show was over. I'm like, well it is the triple crown, how can you NOT! LOL He is probably grateful I don't make him watch auto racing every sunday any more too. :)
So this knee thing seems to be a lot more common than I thought it was. She just seems so wobbly on grass or uneven surfaces. I guess that is normal too. Okay, so I won't freak as much over that then.
Well I just had a wave of sleepy come over me, so bed time for me gang.

Sharlene:
So glad you had a good time, it sounds wonderful for a treat to do that. It is already heating up here today and I am going to be watching the weather and the sky. Tipper has been pretty calm for a few days, so I don't want her getting started up today. She is still getting up as I fall asleep and going in the closet. I have not heard any congestion when she lays down now, but have not been able to observe her a lot while sleeping either. Does Molly do ok when you go out and leave her? Is she really clingy when you get home? Tipper was Miss independent don't help me with anything I do it all myself girl, until this past year when she declined. Now she does not want me leaving her and needs to be in the same room all the time. Blessings

Oooh - that sounds like a fun time. Do they serve throughout the film?
Hamish had the knee thing too - it didn't happen very often but when it did he would lift his leg and OH was great at massaging it back into place (I was lousy!).
I hate watching sport on TV - I'd rather be doing than watching (although I do most sports very badly ;) ). Only exception was Formula 1 when Schumacher was racing - we went to the US GP once and I decided it was better on TV because you missed so much from the stands.
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
They take orders until the trailers come on but not during the movie. It is enough though.
True, car racing like formula, indy, anything road course is better on tv. I like going to live sport events too. Just something about getting caught up in the high spirits of winning and losing.
I just didn't have a clue so many dogs have these luxating knees.
Blech, back to work in the morning.

Sharlene,
You do more cool stuff and have more fun in one weekend, than I do all year. I think I shall live vicariously through you from now on. That means I get your hubby too. There's not many like him around! Be sure to clue him in on our arrangement! ;):D
So sad about Daisy Mae. Needed to lighten things up a bit. It's okay to throw your hubby under the bus for the cause. :D
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
I'll let him know that I'm making arrangements with the forum girls! :)
True, in the spirit of needing to raise spirits, husbands are free game. (and we surely do all need that tonight) Be warned though, he loves nothing more than to find a series on netflex and watch every season nonstop.
We have a few good ones on here I must say (Other Halves). I'm always thrilled at the gentle, kind loving souls that go along with some of our doggie families.
Next weekend, I believe is country western, dinner/dance. I do not know know what to wear! Pretty sure I don't have anything in the closet to fit That one. Unless I can just throw on a pair a jeans? I am taking Friday off though so maybe I'll be able to find something. Think the dollar store might have some of those kid cowboy hats?
hugs,
