font-family:Arial'>Wanted to thank all of you who replied when I asked for info
on kidney problems for my parents’ dog, Daisy. My parents are in
their 80’s and do not have a computer, so I’d call Mom every
evening and read her the info. Mom was a nurse, so she’s very
savvy, also has always been into natural and herbal stuff. She put Daisy
on aloe vera juice, and she seems to be doing a lot better, is eating much
better and seems to be feeling a lot better. We’re keeping our
fingers crossed. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Balls – I had Dachshunds for 20 years before I got my
Bassets – most Dachshunds will fetch one time. You throw the ball,
they go get it and bring it back, you take it and throw it again, and they give
you THE LOOK, and walk away. You know the look I mean, the “if you’re
going to throw it, you can go get it” look, same as you’d give to a
bratty kid. Anyway, the Dachshunds trained me so well that it never even
crossed my mind to try to get my Bassets to fetch. My two girls,
fetching? No way.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Chiropractic for dogs – sounds like a good idea to me,
I love my Chiropractor. I’d look for a holistic Vet with experience
adjusting pets, bound to be one in your area. And you might try
acupuncture and therapeutic massage, too. Who cares which as long as it
helps Mitchell. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Our thoughts are with all of you who’ve lost you’re
dogs recently – we lost three little buddies in 2008, Mr. Gus the
Dachshund to congestive heart failure in February, little Pokey the kitty to a
coyote in June, and Mocha the Queen of the kitties to cancer in December.
Doesn’t matter how many, you love each one, and losing them is so very
hard. Spring will be here soon, maybe warmer weather will slow down the
number leaving for the Bridge. Hope so. Lots of drool and snooters
to all who need it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
