OMG I totally spaced out--- email me your address and I'll send you almost a full can of flax hulls and quite a bit of lignan capsules! I hope that at least helps you out for a little bit! I think I still have some melatonin too.
Go away spirochetes!! I hope the meds help! Gotta take care of our little Squirty! ;-)
S-
OK, since I seem to be on a first-time learning curve with the parasite thing I will admit my stupidity.....what the heck is a spirochete and do I really want to know????? :eek: Do they only live in Tennessee??? :eek:
Leslie, I wish you all sunny days filled with chasing butterflies and even belly rubs and rolling in fields! It does the soul good and I hope you can join her for a good roll in the field on a sunny day and just letting all the bad things out! I know I'm crazy but that's how I stay sane! Try it!
You know I love ya!!!! Do I need to sign my name????
I'm assuming that a spirochete is a bad thing so...BEGONE from Squirt's body!! :mad: :mad:
Glad she had such a good time in ARK and gave you reason to smile. Those moments are so precious.

It is amazing what a change of scenery can do for our pups. It's always so nice to see them having fun and enjoying the moment. :)They certainly know how to make us smile. Glad you took the time to enjoy Squirt's happiness and glad it brought a smile to you face during your sad times. They do help us to heal.Quote:

She is still doing very well...no signs at all! The fat pads on her shoulders have disappeared and the ones on her hips are going as well! I haven't felt her shoulder blades in ages! :p Her weight is fairly close to what it has been so I guess the fat has redistributed or been used, as it should be. The little fat pouch under her chest is even gone! She is looking very svelte these days for an old lady! :D
Her energy level has risen and she is much more playful than she has been. She plays piggys several times a day where we kinda dance around with me sliding my feet around and she tries to nab my toes. :p We play cover monsters every nite now, too, a game she has always dearly loved....as do I. She gets much more aggressive with cover monsters than with piggys and her jaws are snapping shut with real "ferocity" as she tries to "kill" the monster. :p
Squirt is enjoying her walks more and is able to go further before tiring that she was last year this time, even this summer - tho the heat does have an effect on her as it does her old mom! ;) We both love the winter months.
She remains on 6mg of melatonin and her lignans, hulls at the moment, every day along with her supplements and herbs. Squirt loves her menu and that makes the weekly work to make it worth every second to me, plus the fact that she is doing so well on it.
For a week or so after Ruby passed, she was really clingy but that has passed and she seems to have accepted the change in the pack quite well.
As always, Squirt continues to bring light, joy and love into my every moment and I am grateful for every day she is with me.
Hugs,
Leslie and Squirt, still the Queen of Dogdom :p
Oh Leslie, what a wonderful report on our "Queen." :) :D :)
I am so glad that she is doing so well -- thanks to your loving care and devotion...:o
Many (((hugs))) always,
Marianne
I truly agree with Marianne, what a wonderful update on our beautiful and svelte Squirt! Oh Leslie, Squirts continuing health improvements are because of your dedication and deep love for which everyone can see that you have for all your furbabies.
Dang, wish I could lose some of my fat pads...Leslie could you cook for me too? :p:)
Love and hugs,
Lori
Hi Leslie,
I too, am very happy to learn your Squirt is doing well and keeping your joy and spirit alive after Ruby's passing. Although I am sure it continues to be extremely hard to still endure your pain of not having her, I think you probably have a lot of satisfaction knowing your little Squirt was and continues to be by your side to ease your pain. I'm sending you lots of tight hugs and wet licks from Princess...xo Luv, Jeanette
He Leslie,
It's so wonderful to hear that Squirt is doing so good. You are such a very caring person. Squirt is very lucky to have you for a mom.
Wonderful news Leslie, enjoy all of your butterflies!
Love and hugs,
