Ellen’s story is no different. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Ellen will be 11 this summer sometime, she lived with the same woman all her life.

I just about fainted when I took a quick look at her teeth. A friend said it looked like mostly tarter, and gums looked good, so am hoping she is right. The vet may feel differently. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Ellen is getting along pretty well here. I know she is having some adjustment, as she is going from being an only hound to one of 15. Some of the crew here have never learned about personal space, and Ellen is not fond of her personal space being trampled on….literally. So a bit of woofing has been observed, I don’t blame her, I woof too when trampled on by the offender hounds, which I will not name. <o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>We have a picture on our FB page and we will get one up on the website soon.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Other hound news is Beemer, one of our Beagles, had Cushing’s. He is going to start on meds this coming week. Toby, one of our Bagels, we thought might has a mast cell tumor, but the pathology came back as just an infection. The lump is on his rear left hock and it has been going down with antibiotics…not sure what sort of cyst it is. Toby has a really bad heart, (congestive heart failure, grade 4 murmur) and we will not put him under due to this. Just glad it responded to the meds. He is so very sweet! Delta Burke woke up the other morning not being able to walk well in her hind end. She kept leaning and falling to her left. Had her into the vet and x-rays are remarkably well, though a disc issue might not show up. Anyhow, started pred and cold laser therapy and she is doing much better today. Has been a bit busy here but we are getting through.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'><o:p> </o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#76923C'>Newsletter in July will have more updates and photos, so if you do not get it, please sign up for it, if you want too.
