Our old German Sheperd / Australian Cattledog had to be put down because of kidney disease...which was caused from some kind of a mouth disease. We couldnt afford to get her teeth cleaned. :sad:
Fortunately Critter is doing much better now, so plans for a wheelchair are put in the drawer for the time being. Our friend who doggy-sitted her this weekend told us she was walking again by Saturday afternoon. Shes adapting wonderfully really. She careens rather much but can lurch short distances unaided. With a car seatbelt harness, and an extra belt looped around her tummy, we can support her when she has to go and hoist her over steps and into the couch and car. She tends to complain when we do the hoisting but shes not really grumpy, its fear for being picked up (puppyhood trauma from her first owners). But its great to watch her calculating on how to descend the 3 steps into the garden, then going for it in one massive lurch. Or the way she drops herself from the couch instead of trying to climb down from it.
She may be old, nearly deaf, nearly blind, and a bit disabled, but she continues to amaze and delight us with her intelligence and zest for life.
Those who dont complain at all are the cats. They love it now that shes sleeping most of the time or just lying there, that makes for a nice soft warm bed, just the thing for the quality cat-nap.
You find the strangest things on the RFL forum!!

13 Hp emergency saw motor running a 45lb. fly wheel at about 5000 rpms it does the 75 foot track in under 2.5 seconds!!!

San Fransicko!
Mike Lambert is a thin Homer Simpson
Thin-ish. At Colchester Jenny and I had to move our display table forward about a metre on Sunday as he kept knocking it over every time he bent over Dantomkia (or anything else for that matter)
That would make him a thin-ish Peter Griffin, then?
I was thinking more along the lines of a thin-ish Stan Cartman.....
You WaSS! If I were you I would have said hey look MISSY get your batch-ask back in the kitchen and knit me a sweater.
